I think his problem with the surface pro when I first bought it was that it didn't include wind tab drivers for using the pressure sense of stylus with most graphics programs you know some of them supported the new ink API so the surface has but most of them used the older wind tab APs but now the surface pro does have wing tab drivers and I have pressure-sensitive stylus drawing capabilities in almost all graphics programs so this is Adam Lane from packing.com and I'm going to show you how it works let's check it out alright first off let's go to the settings have to install the new drivers from Wacom there's new 10 tablet properties control panel and this is where we can control some different things about the stylus you can turn on the click sound we can hear it now you can customize what the button does to feel a razor feel double-click distance here's your advance you can you know do a hover click for the button or click and tap and you can calibrate it which is really nice makes it much more accurate and you can add a pop-up menu which you can choose as one of the options in your custom button and you see it's made by Lock them there so that's the new pen tablet properties pretty nice to have and let's check out photoshop so here we are and here's the brush panel and you can see shape dynamics I can choose 10 pressure now that's not grayed out anymore because we have wind tab drivers any so you see the preview of the brush down there and kill and pressure is light and then it gets dark very nicely done let's try a couple other brushes now here's a little icon that's going to show the tilt sensitivity but the surface pro doesn't support tilt recognition within the digitizer so that's kind of useless really needing more expensive Wacom tablet to have that support about one of these very nice really smooth real quick all right let's try a different program so this is painter 12 I've been using this back in the Tecla is version 4 in the 90s and this is a very very complicated natural media simulation program so we have all sorts of brushes and you can see how they work here I go to the preferences there's a brush tracking option and we can see supports pressure and it changes some of our settings according to how we attract Russian within the screen let's choose a couple ups and you can see pressure very very nice so this is going to be great with the surface pro all right one more how about some vector illustration you say sure here's Illustrator cs6 I'm going to double click brush and I'm going to make it have some size variation how much should I do 15 and we'll give it a variation of 7 and right here I can choose pressure and let's get a brush and let's change my color that and there you go let's choose a different brush over here in the brushes library we have some other brushes multiple brush libraries let's choose one of these and you can see how the pressure affects your brush brush strokes there's some bristle brushes you see you have a lot of control or the thickness of the stroke as you're moving so there's a look at a few professional graphics programs running on the surface pro with your nice pressure-sensitive stylus support great feature real smooth this could be a digital artists dream tablet so be sure to give this video a thumbs up and that's it for now
