Using Surface Pen with Photoshop CC

[Lone Swordsman]

Just curious - anyone here use their Pen to do editing with Photoshop? How is it? I'm so used to a mouse and keyboard at this point that I'm somehow distrustful of doing anything by hand.

I use Lightroom and Photoshop CC occasionally on my Surface Pro 4...I wouldn't want to do so without Tablet Pro on my SP4...if you haven't seen it...you need to buy it for $25...there's a partial trial, but see the video below at 2:11 2M:11S where he shows Tablet Pro's Artist Pad displaying a translucent touch panel for your pen or fingers with typical Photoshop keystrokes....Awesome!

Yeah, I could definitely see myself using an app like this, at least if I end up doing "serious" work on a Surface. Photoshop CC is most definitely not built with a touchscreen in mind.
