Yeah, I'm hoping for the eventual release of some drivers. Adobe's gotta be on top of this.
YES!!! STRAIGHT FROM A HORSE'S MOUTH!!! MICROSOFT/ADOBE/WACOM ARE WORKING ON DRIVER'S FOR THIS!!!<snip>
Definitly NOT a Wacom.
The MS Surface Pro is GREAT. I repeat, it's GREAT... but I'm not much of a traveller so y'know.
Pen Use
- pen is horrible for the Pervy Sage's needs
- miiight be okay for simple line drawings, or sketches, but for drawing-drawing, definitely a no do
Photoshop on Surface Pro
- the menu's are tiny, it's a pain to click the right icon, but you can live with it
------ would be impossible to use finger to click icons in the menu
- Photoshop runs silky smooth, fast, installs fine, that's a great great thing
- with the keyboard sideways for hotkeys and the screen in portrait mode... is odd, but again, work-around-able
- just the pen is horrible
- with touch, the image moves as if holding the space-bar and dragging with mouse
----- image slides around, but no pen marks if your hand is resting on the screen while using the pen
- Adobe has some sort of touch version of Photoshop, never tried it but at least future-proof wise, seems like it's an alright direction to head as far as digital drawing/painting on a tablet goes
and now you know, hope that helps for anybody considering this info useful for purchasing decisions
If you read the latest post, there is no news yet after 1 month. This is an issue about chicken and egg. Microsoft has a new API which is what new applications support NOW, while Adobe want to stick to their own API aka WinTab for reasons of their own, i.e., all their products use it.
A lot of people interchange drivers from API, no driver will fix this unless the API is used. Device drivers are different from Libraries, but they do work together.
ps.
Don't let the enthusiasm die, miracles do happen.
