    Strange things happening with my Surface Pro and Photoshop

    So, I bought my Surface Pro back before the Pro 2 came out, and it's been a great machine for me. I use it all the time for digital painting, and while it's no Cintiq, it's awesome. Up until a few weeks ago. I started messing around with the "press and hold to right click" preferences, and now...

    Windows 10 swipe touch only (do not activate with pen)

    I saw similar posts on the forums but not exactly the same and especially none with a pleasant solution. So here is my question: I am using Windows 10 on my Surface Pro 3 (should be independent of the actual device as long as it has touch support and an active pen). As you all know a left swipe...

    I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to further customize the surface pen. I love that I can assign different functions to back button however, at least for me, the default functions are kind of useless.
