Surface Pro Pen pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop CS6. Was anyone able to get their surface pro to use the pen pressure sensitivity? In my photoshop settings when i turn on Pen Pressure for brush settings i see a yellow exclamation mark next to each settings which has to do with pen pressure. If anyone knows how to solve this problem please let me know.

    I'm relieved that after a fair wait MS / Wacom came through for their customers. It's working very well since I installed it and re-calibrated last night.

    I've got some of my confidence back in MSFT now, still a little miffed. Either way we've got what we want and I hope in future glaring omissions like this are not obfuscated in product releases. If I'd have known about this before buying, I would have waited until the driver was released and publicised and STILL bought the Pro. Gotta have a little faith in your customer base.

    Is it still possible to do the 273-point calibration after installing the Wacom driver? I can't seem to get it to work. It keeps telling me calibration data already exists and resetting does nothing. I can't find the linearity data in the registry anymore either to delete it that way.

    Thanks everyone for the lively discussion on this topic! I installed the Wacom drivers today, and it looks like things are working as they should now! I can finally use that top button on the pen and there's pressure now!

    While I'm still pretty irritated with Microsoft for their handling of this driver, I'm definitely glad its actually come out.  I got Photoshop up and running this morning, and everything looks great.

    In the future, Microsoft, for a key feature like this, give us better feedback than "Soon" then months later "Hey, we're testing a beta driver" shortly before its published on someone else's website.

    I'd like to say a big thanks to everyone who basically did microsoft's job for them in this thread, getting the newest information out as soon as it was available.  I consider this thread answered at this point, but the thread itself should stick around since it shows very clearly our frustration and how exactly microsoft treats their early adopters.
