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.

Some straightforward functions are difficult to implement requiring time and money. Nothing is free.

Photoshop is FAR from free. If Adobe chooses not to keep it updated to take advantage of new technologies, people will eventually find alternatives. Touch screen technology is ubiquitous on Windows computers these days. Photoshop should work seamlessly with it, it's a premium product.
