I can edit in Lightroom with touching the screen. Works fine. However when I open up photoshop the cursor disappears when I try to edit with my fingers or a pen.

How can I make photoshop work with my pc? Is there a solution? Thanks!
 
The only way that I can successfully run Ps on my Windows Tablet (sepcifically Ps/CS4 on an 8" Dell Venue 8 Pro) is to either use a real mouse or to use TouchMousePointer ( http://www.lovesummertrue.com/touchmousepointer/en-us/ ).

I've been using TouchMousePointer for over a year with a variety of Desktop apps, including Ps/CS4, with no issues except when using a real mouse (bluetooth) with TeamViewer to remotely control my work computer.

With TeamViewer I need to simply click on the TMP icon on the Taskbar to disable it. TeamViewer then works correctly. There's something about TeamViewer's complex mouse handling (dynamically dealing with both local and remote mouse actions) that butts heads with TMP. TMP provides a easy toggle on/off so it is not a real issue.

CC works with pen input as of early 2014. If you have an earlier version, you will need to upgrade to CC or get a third party solution. Dwig's solution is a great example.
 
Is there a way to use PS on a larger screen PC? Surface pro seems a little small to me. My current editing pc is a Dell 27 touch screen monitor.
