Pen Pressure in Photoshop on MS Surface Pro..

Did anyone get the new update today and did it fix the pen pressure issue for Photoshop use on the MS Surface Pro Tablet???? I know this is an aging die hard issue but man do I need it bad,.....-Joe

Hey there folks,
I figure I take some time to respond to the surface pro things,.....
@Alanomaly, yes pretty good so far, I can not complain about the pen pressure. MS had nothing to do with it except to communicatge with Adobe, and Wacom..as things go, all three needed to agree on working on this. The driver is through Wacom on their site under the Tablet PC select. Thats it. You load, restart PC an it works.
Now as far as comparing it to Intuos/Cintiq, well, its not a question really. The Surface Pro tablet functions like a PC but is smaller than a 9x12 Intuos and Cintiq, with the exception of the smallest sizes of eother of those. But, I do not use the smaller sizes. I do have a Cintiq 24 HD, love it!!! When Im away, the road, at the shore,..or at work and want to doodle, sketch, concept draw, whatever, Im not using Surface Pro to do full fledged digital content, ..Ill take it home and finish or expand on it.....but I wont divulge my personal reasons for using it , but, that is why I think Surface Pro exists, so I can use it for what I want and be happy. Now, if Wacom comes out w a tablet and its a tablet like Surface Pro, and a user wont need to hook up a Wacom type of tablet to a PC to work on it as a mobile device, then, I ll be rethinking my options....maybe.
Now, I have a Xeon cpu in my machine and a second one when Im ready to use it, and I see the i5 and i7 cpus really taking advantage of the mixer brushes and interactive brushes better than my xeon cpus. I wish to make that better on my machine but thats another story.
I hope tht helps.....

How do I get past this error? It says to restart, which I did. This is my third try. The first try failed. The second try worked and it registered my serial number, but there were warnings that not everything installed. I did not uninstall the second try. I just did a third try and got the following:

How to adjust line sampling frequency in photoshop CC on surface pro 3

I just got a Surface Pro 3 so that I could work on my art on the go. I am used to working on a mac with a cintiq, but fell for the hype that photoshop was optimized to work with SP3. However, when I try to use the brush tool, my lines look AWFUL! no matter what I do, the lines are wavy and messy looking. I read that PSCC raised the sampling frequency rate so that the line would look better, but I think THAT is exactly why it looks awful. the Surface pro seems to be picking up EVERY microscopic twitch. I cant work like this ... and I am surely not the only person using PSCC on the SP3, as they're ADVERTISED to work together. How do I adjust the sampling frequency so that my line looks as smooth as it does on a Wacom in photoshop? ...because THAT image below.. looks like crap.

I'm not an artist so I don't draw using my Surface pro 3. Many have the same issue with wacom tablets and cintigu from what I read. They seem to be able to solve their concerns by installing a plugin Lazy Nezumi Pro - Mouse and Pen Smoothing for PhotoShop and other Apps Remember I don't draw and have not installed that plug-in so I can not state that it works well on a surface pro 3.
Doing a Web search I found this I quote
Hi guys,
I'm the author of Lazy Nezumi Pro!
Here's the situation with the Surface Pro 3: I'm not 100% sure, but I think the people who got LNP to work with the SP3 the ones who have Photoshop CC 2014, which uses the new Windows 8 native tablet API (instead of Wintab, which is very old tech). If you have this version, make sure you enable Windows Ink for it to work right. It's possible that the N-Trig Wintab implementation is just buggy, or that it's doing something very differently than what LNP is expecting (this is probably the case since I have reports that PS works fine without LNP). Unfortunately I won't know more until I get a SP3 myself and do some testing/debugging.
I'm sorry I can't help more right now, but I'll keep you updated!

How do I download Photoshop to a Surface Pro 3?

I have purchased Photoshop Elements 13, how do I install it on my Surface Pro 3 with no CD ROM

If your program is Photoshop Elements 13, then you have posted in the wrong forum. Somehow your thread has been posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
Please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator to see your thread here and move it from here to there.

Pen pressure warning - Photoshop CC 2014

pen pressure just have a warningsign besides it, it worked fine before .
i have tried everything, reinstalled drivers, reinstalled photoshop
I have a speedlink arcus tablet
i haave spoken to them and they said i needed to go here, because they could'nt do anything
Any help ?
Thanks

I have the same problem. Pen pressure works in Photoshop CC, but not in Photoshop CC 2014. I have a Wacom intuos and have updated my Wacom drivers to the newest version. Windows 8.1.
Let's turn the discussion away from tablet drivers for a moment and consider the fact that pressure sensitivity works in an older version of Photoshop and doesn't in the new one. How should we proceed to solve this issue?

Uneven pen pressure in Photoshop CS6 Extended with Wacom Intuos5

I got Photoshop CS6 Extended recently, but the lines I draw in it aren't smooth, like they should be (example below).
The tablet produces perfect lines in any other bit of software (Flash, ToonBoom, etc.), but not Photoshop. I've tried lots of different solutions (uninstalling and reinstalling it, reverting back to an earlier driver, clearing preferences, etc.), to no avail. Oddly, my Intuos3 works fine in Photoshop, for a few minutes, before it crashes. If I try to adjust the Wacom Tablet Properties for CS6, it doesn't recognize any changes, but if I adjust the settings for Photoshop CS4, it does. All Wacom Drivers are up-to-date.
Any ideas on how to fix this would be most appreciated.

I've tried all of the above and had no results. I have the exact same issue as you, specially when working with a big brush. Even in the tablet settings panel I can see the sensitivity display go nuts after a certain threshold over 30% of pressure. I tend to use the hardest possible. At this point I think it's probably a hardware problem with the pen or tablet surface but still, I had an intuos 3 for many years without any trouble and the intuos 5 is giving me problems now . Also I replied to you becouse this was kind of the only part of the internet where I could find the exact same issue with a screencap of it. thank's in advance to anyone that have a workaround or news about this!!!

Tools not working photoshop cc 2014 surface pro 3.

I tried resetting tools. I've even reinstalled the program. I can select any tool but when I go to work on the canvas, no cursor, nothing. I don't have any of these problems in illustrator. Don't know what else to do. Has anyone else had this problem? Thank you

Surface Pro 3 no pen pressure in CS6?

I have just purchased a Surface Pro 3 and have downloaded Adobe Suite, particularly to use Photoshop CS6.
However, I have no pen pressure in Photoshop CS6! It's incredibly frustrating!
I can draw with the Surface Pen, but there is no pressure sensitivity - even when I switch sensitivity on. (I am experienced using Photoshop and understand how to use these functions).
The Surface Pen seems to be working fine in all other applications.

You say the pen is "working fine" in all other applications, but does this mean you're getting pressure sensitivity in other applications?
I just got a SP3 a couple of months ago and as I recall, once you calibrate it and pair it the Surface Pen will function, but without pressure sensitivity. After doing some research I ended up downloading and installing the N-trig Wintab driver and I now have pressure sensitivity in a variety of art programs, e.g. Photoshop CC & CC 2014, ArtRage, Sketchbook Pro, Manga Studio 5, and Painter 2015.
I understand that Microsoft has now released Surface Hub, an app that enables sensitivity adjustment and is available in the Microsoft store. My impression is that you would install this for newer apps and only if you have not already installed the Wintab driver. The Surface Hub seems to be getting mixed reviews.
See this Microsoft page for further information and links: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/touch-mouse-and-search/troubleshoot-surface -pen#pressure

Pen pressure problems in Photoshop with the Yoga Thinkpad

Hi!
I'm having problems with uneven pen pressure in Photoshop. When draw a few lines very sensitive some of them get's thick like it was drawn with full pressure when it actually wasn't.
I installed http://www.wacom.eu/index4.asp?pid=9278&lang=en but still having the same problem
Is there any fix to this? Is this problem related to the device, to Wacom or Windows 7?

Adobe supports any working stylus -- but your stylus may not implement all the APIs needed for applications like Photoshop.
Most likely you'll need to contact Sony and see if they have updated drivers for their stylus to support professional graphics applications.

Surface Pro pen pressure is not working in Photoshop

I just bought Microsoft Photoshop.
But Adobe Photoshop doesn't provide pen pressure sensitivity.
I tested Microsoft OneNote, Fresh Paint, and Autodesk Sketchbook. They are working well.
Please provide the pen pressure function in Photoshop too.

On the Main photoshop forum, one of the Adobe staff is stating that the issue is with Microsoft and not Adobe. I can not see the code nor do I own a surface pro therefore I can not confirm nor deny it. In other words, I am a poor lonely user with the same access as every other user. LOL.

Photoshop CS6 Brush pressure sensitivity not working on the Microsoft Surface Pro.

I have just purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro in anticipation of running Photoshop on it. I installed Photoshop and tried to do some sketches. I created a new file and started sketching. I Immediately felt like something was wrong. I checked my brush settings and saw the pressure sensitivity was not available. Everytine I tried to turn it on it was marked with an exclamation point.
Does anybody know if Adobe is supporting the new pressure sensitive pen from microsoft, or if there is some sort of setting that I am missing? I have tried sketchbook pro 2011, and that works amazingly well with the pen. I hope someone can help me along here, because if this tablet can truely run photoshop, it would be a Game Changer.

Just curious.... has any of you tried the shape dynamics in photoshop and turning on pen pressure?
and in illustrator to modify the size to pressure and variation to maximum? (and of course select that brush preset that you just modified and draw with it using SHIFT+B for blob brush or B for regular brush)
I am also interested in purchasing a Surface pro so please report if this helps.
what I recently discovered in other forums is that Sketchbook Pro works flawlessly in desktop mode. Sketchbook Express in the APP mode doesn't support pressure yet.
there is no official confirmation that the surface pro uses a wacom digitizer, however a few artist friends of mine have gone to the microsoft store... brought their own wacom pens (cintiq 15x pen - older models that works with general tabletpcs) and the pro recognized it. which means that it is a wacom digitizer. it wouldn't make sense if a wacom pen works with a different digitizer board like N-trig.
also read in another forum about adobe using wintab and windows 8 wintab drivers are not there yet.
anyway... I'd be glad to know if this works or not
thanks!

Issues with the Surface Pro 3's pen in Photoshop CS6

I used photoshop CS6 with no problems on my old computer that was connected to a graphics tablet.
However, I recently bought a new windows computer called the Surface Pro 3. Everything works perfectly with the trackpad and touch, but I've had some issues with the Surface pen.
The pen can draw on the canvas, but whenever I click something on any of the windows with the pen, the entire application freezes and I would have to click the computer's taskbar at the bottom to unfreeze the application.
It's impossible to work like this. Is there any solution to fix this problem? It says that the version of photoshop I have is Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.1.2

If you have Photoshop CS6 version 13.1.2 which is the Subscription version of Photoshop, You shoule Isstall Photoshop CC 2014 on your surface Pro 3. It will work without problems on the surface Pro 3 and you will also have the option have the option to use Photoshop CC 2014 preference 2x UI to scale Photoshop's UI up in size on your Surface Pro 3.
If you do not have a subscription the Perpetual version of windows CS6 should be version 13.0.1.3. In that case the only way to scale Photoshop UI is to have windows do it. You would need to to update your windows 8.1 registry and add an external Photoshop manifest file in your Photoshop CS6 folder. To get the Surface Pro 3 pen to work with Photoshop you would need to install NTig pen device drivers the support the wintab APIs.
You will not be able to use Photoshop without a keyboard popping up the windows onscreen keyboard is too cumbersome. You can use a utility like Touchkey to create Overlay touch keys on Photoshop and use Photoshop without a keyboard.
The differece betweek Adobe 2XUI scaling an windows scaling ise windows scaling scalet the image areas as well as the Photoshops UI
A couple of touchkey overlat keyboards could look something like this

Surface Pro 3 Pen / stylus doesn't work well in Illustrator, works fine in Photoshop

Good day,
I've had CC on a Surface Pro 3 for two months now and I've been trying to troubleshoot the erratic behavior of using the Surface Pen in Illustrator. I've checked the batteries (there's multiple batteries in the pen), making sure they're installed correctly. I've gone into the Win 8.1 settings and checked the pen to be sure it's operating properly. It works well in all other apps; draws well in Photoshop, Fresh Paint, One Note, etc.
When using the brush tool with the pen in Illustrator, I'm only able to draw every other line. Sometimes it's once every third or fourth line. I need to tremendously slow down in order for Illustrator to recognize I'd like to draw, and even then, I'm not guaranteed that a line will draw. This issue isn't isolated to the brush tool. Nearly any action with the pen on the canvas haphazardly occurs (selections, join tool, etc.). It's beyond frustrating!
Is anyone else experiencing poor Surface Pen performance in Illustrator? If no, I suppose I have a hardware issue, but it's suspiciously an app problem, seeing how the pen works great throughout the rest of my apps.
Thanks for reading,
Brent

Hi All,
Thanks to Monika Gause for the whole day extended support. Illustrator team really appreciate this.
Monika removed (un-installed) the N-trig Wintab x64 application/driver from the system and the issue got re-solved.
We would love to hear from all the people who are facing this issue that what happens when they follow the above step.
With Best Regards,

Surface Pro 3 + Photoshop CS6 + Latest N-trig Driver = TOTAL FAILURE!!!...or is it just me???

I recently purchased a Surface Pro 3 (i7/256GB) for the main purpose of getting back into drawing. I wanted to run Photoshop CS6 (I'm not buying into Adobe's CC subscription crap) with N-trig's latest 64bit driver that is supposed to add pen pressure support. But, now I can't draw a single straight line because the new N-trig driver is causing the pen to jump at the beginning and end of each stroke. The result is that every stroke I make ends up with an "L" shaped hook at both ends. The issue does not occur in my trial version of Photoshop CC or any other drawing application... it only affects Photoshop CS6. And, the problem occurs whether or not I've enabled the pressure sensitivity option. Furthermore, the problem goes away if I uninstall the N-trig driver... but, then I lose the pen pressure feature. Am I the only one having this issue? This is super frustrating because my main reason for getting the Surface Pro 3 was to use Photoshop CS6. And let me tell you... it's not easy for an Apple "Fanboy" like myself to admit the allure of the Surface Pro 3;)

I agree. I Fault Adobe and MS. Adobe wants you to pay a monthly fee for CC, so don't count on them updating their "not so old software" anytime soon. MS ... are just idiots. Always on the verge of greatness and they do something to mess it up. They are clueless that the vast majority of Surface Pro 3 users are artists.
However, until it is fixed I do have a work around for everyone. I've only purchased Sketchbook Pro 2015 (v7) and Corel Painter 2015 (both of which work fine with the Surface Pro 3 (SF3). For CS6 or older programs that strictly use the wintab (aka Wacom like devices) do the following....
Directions:
1. You must download the newest N-Trig driver (ntrig.com). There is a Wintab Driver 1.0.0.16 but there is also a 1.0.0.17 that works as well.
2. Install the driver. Photoshop and most other Wintab (or Wacom like use programs such as - Photoshop CS6/CS5, Corel Painter 12, SB Pro 5 or 6 ... and so forth) will now work on the SP3.
3. However .... other programs such as Onenote, Sketchbook Pro 2015 and their like will not work!!! Note: Corel Painter 2015 are the only "smart" Program Creators to have an option in the programs "preferences" to use n-trig or wacom (aka wintab) drivers. This wonderful program can switch back and forth. Such a simple solution ... hint, hint!!!
4. To get sketchbook Pro 2015 and other programs to work again ... uninstall the N-Trig Wintab driver in the Control Panel/Programs.
5. Yes, you must install and un-install the Wintab driver ... Annoying but it works for all your Art Programs and other Pen Pressure programs/apps.
Call MS and ask them to at least create an "on and off switch" for the wintab driver till this gets fixed, (this on off switch should be in the new Surface Pro 3 "Hub" Pen utility program)!!! However, as you can tell from Corel ... software makers can fix this issue as well, hint, hint again Adobe!!!
Until it is fixed: All we can do is call MS and ADOBE (and their greedy like,) tell them to fix their software and don't let up till they do. Secondly, I personally will not buy anything (software or hardware) until this is fixed. Thirdly, I will never "rent" my software Adobe.
JNK.
Not to be an annoying jerk, but a couple of points:
Autodesk are moving towards a subscription model. Yes, you can get SketchBook Pro 7 as a so-called "permanent" license but all you're getting is minor updates. (And upgrade pricing is going bye-bye in February, if I recall.) Something to keep in mind as you may have no choice in the future *but* to subscribe. You really don't own the software even in a permanent/purchased setup anyway. They just give a license to use it regardless of the situation.
While we're on the subject, Autodesk released their newer version of SketchBook Pro for mobile without letting users of the previous paid version of SketchBook Pro know what was going on. They just dropped it onto the Google Play and the App Store. Not very polite (or professional), in my opinion, and they ended up with a lot of angry users as a result.
Corel...maybe it's just me and how I used to use PaintShop Pro, but I could never wrap my head around that app's interface. It's mostly clunky; it's like they're trying to be Photoshop but can't be Photoshop for obvious reasons. I switched to Photoshop Elements 9 from PaintShop Pro X2. I actually considered PSP again before deciding on Photoshop CC. The kicker was trying to use layer masks in PSP. Just...bleh. Guess I was too used to how Photoshop Elements did it (which is very much like how full-on Photoshop does it, minus the fancy style and adjustment layers...which was also one of the reasons why I upgraded).
Calling a company like Adobe "greedy" is a bit unfair (not to mention the wrong way to communicate with a company). For $10 USD/month for the latest versions and any and all new features/updates for Photoshop and Lightroom via the Creative Cloud Photography Plan? I'm pretty sure we're the ones getting away with murder there. Adobe made a ton of cash from the CC Photography Plan, hence why they made it permanent. People found it to be the "sweet spot" for subscribing. They couldn't be more right. By the time a couple years pass by, we're still not approaching what people would pay outright just to use a copy of CS6 *minus* Lightroom. People pay more than that a month just to play a stupid MMORPG. Hell, people pay more for in-app purchases on mobile games.
Just my observations.
