Photoshop: Multi-Touch support for Windows 8

Go to ~34:00 of this video: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/p... to see a demo of upcoming 2x User Interface support on Windows, as well improved pen & gesture support for Win 8.

Note: Windows 8 will be required for improved pen & gesture support.

Details on Touch Gestures in Photoshop CC 2014.2.x:

Additional gestures have been added in Photoshop CC 2015.1: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/usi...

I agree. I'm using a T901 Fujitsu, and I was quite disappointed to find that there was no multi-touch support in CS5 for Windows.

It's actually made even more annoying by the fact that support exists for Macs already.

Agreed (samsung slate). My Adobe CS5 applications are about the only ones which don't support touch panning and pinch zoom... Adobe, and premium professional software in general, shouldn't lag behind on things like this.

In CS5 touch screen computors acted as wacon pads....only more sensitive. Great for selections, clonijng etc. CS^ has a fault and does not allow touch screen to work. In effect CS6 is not fit for purpose and stops me working. When will the bug be fixed

touch screen selectiosn.

s there any Adobe Photoshop, Creative Suite software for Touch Screen computers... I saw there was for a tablet, and Ipad but is there any for the computer alone. I bought the Windows 7, Samsung 32 inch touch screen all in one computer... and while I installed my Adobe CS2 on it fine. I couldn't help but wonder if Adobe has matched Corel in its software for the computer.

Computer, not tablet, touch screen software? for photoshop or creative suite?.

I recently bought a Lenovo touchscreen desktop. I installed Photoshop CS6 on it last night and it works fine with the mouse, but when I try to use the different tools using the touchscreen it doesn't work. For ex I chose the paint brush and started drawing on the screen with my finger and all it does is move the picture around. I googled this situation and other people have had this problem too. They have said it is a driver issue. So I called Lenovo and after a bunch of hassle finally got someone willing to help but he wanted me to confirm photoshop cs6 is compatible with a Lenovo touchscreen desktop. Chat support won't help me and I thought posting here might be faster than a 30 minute or more hold time on the phone. Does anyone have any ideas?

Photoshop cs6 wont work on touchscreen desktop.

I'm desiring the same. I have a planar touch display on the PC - windows 7 with the latest updates to Photoshop.

currently running what photoshop reports sys-info as:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1 20120808.r.519 2012/08/08:21:00:00) x64

Would LOVE to use this as if it were a waacom tablet.

I completely agree. I bought a Surface Pro because it was able to run Photoshop. After I installed Photoshop on it though I discovered that the multitouch gestures don't work. This makes it really hard to use Photoshop for drawing purposing on the tablet. When using such a wonderful graphics program on a high powered tablet I expect to be able to use it correctly. I then found out that the Mac version of Photoshop has these gestures in it, even though the ipad can't even run the full version of Photoshop. Sadly for all my tablet drawing I had to switch programs. It really is a shame. If Photoshop would add this feature into the windows version I'd happily go back to using Photoshop for all my artwork.

I am surprised to see this topic has been idle for 3 months. I just purchased a Wacom Cintiq Companion, and was, frankly, stunned by the lack of touch support in Photoshop - not even the most basic touch actions such as pinch-zoom, pan/scroll, or rotate. Manga Studio 5 EX, which costs a tiny fraction of Photoshop, has these options built-in.

As Sara above said, I expect to be able to use Photoshop correctly - as it is, I feel like I have to take a step back to use it on my new device. For as much as we pay to use Adobe products, this seems like a no-brainer. With most new computers being sold with Windows 8/8.1, and touch monitors dropping in price, I hope that Adobe can correct this oversight in the very near future.

(I also can't help but notice that no one from Adobe has responded here. Are they even aware that users find this to be a problem?)

Same request here... I have a Wacom Cintiq Companion and I was really unhappy to discover that not only are there no multitouch features (like pinch to zoom, or panning, which would be the obvious one), but every time my finger touches the screen, the canvas shoots to the bottom right corner. It's made Photoshop virtually unusable on the Cintiq Companion unless I first disable the touch screen, which eliminates the point of the tablet...

Ahh now that is excellent. Exactly what I am wishing for! I am looking forward to that update when it comes out. Thank you!

Hello! I have Vaio Fit 15A. I'm installed last update of Photoshop CC, but multi-touch zoom, pan and rotate is not work! Is it required to tune some options or install drivers?
