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.

        Adobe Photoshop has some standard touch gesture support and some touch device's drivers have additional touch features that can be customized to be used with Photoshop features.   I never wrote that touch is junk.  It is my opinion that finger painting is for children. Photoshop is not suitable for children is also an opinion I have.


        "I am sure Adobe could add a finger paint mode to Photoshop.  However I for one would not like to see that.  Photoshop has more than enough junk as it is. More junk is not needed."

        You implied, but ok, whatever. Don't use it then, it is not a reason enough to stop the improvement for so many other people. Also you're ignoring the existence of fine tip capacitive styluses. Many computer OEMs are still hesitant about including pen support, sometimes touch screen is the best you can get for the money. And please don't say anything about the precision or lack of pressure sensitivity, we know, but it's not like you get that on a touch pad or mouse. So unless PS wanna be some exclusive club for elites, touch should be supported.
