How do I set up photoshop to work with a touch screen?

Hi,

I just bought a 15.6" Asus Q500A touchscreen laptop with Windows 8. I downloaded photoshop and the 'touch app plug-ins' through the Adobe Application Manager for creative cloud. When I open a file in PS and select the brush(or any other) tool if I use the touch screen to drag it accross the canvas nothing happens. It still works with my mouse though.

How can I get this to work properly?

      Hello!

      The touch apps plug-ins are used to allow the communication between Photoshop and the Touch applications that work on an ipad: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-touch/faq.html#cloud

      Thanks for the response, but that doesn't answer my question.

        Sorry; I had to take care of the kids for a minute, I meant that the Touch apps plug-ins are of no use.

        Can you move the cursor with your fingers in other applications?
