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

    >Fingers lack features that are required for communicating with Photoshop

    Brush engine.

    Baloney. Fingers have exactly the same features as the mice that have been

    on computers Photoshop v01.


    Will you please post a picture of your fingers that have those button features. Are they  implants? How do they communicate with  your computer. How many buttons a wheel does it have tilt left and right?
