How do you enable the app-context-dependent touch bar for Photoshop on the new 2016 rmbp?
I've just updated to the latest CC software 2017.0 releases – and not seeing the custom touch bar. A Google search yields a ton of news article demonstrations without actually telling you how to enable it.
A corollary question is – which are the context-specific touchbar apps?
I actually had the same question as I want to use Boot Camp and the function buttons are now virtual and their answer was that yes Apple will provide a setting in Boot Camp to have the function buttons appear in the Touch Bar. I'll provide the exact text from my chat:
David: Hey there, my name is David. Welcome to the Apple Online Store. I would be very happy to help you with your questions about the new MacBook Pro.
David: This product will definitely be capable of running in Boot Camp mode. May I ask, are you already using a device in this way now?
Me: I'm currently using a MacBook Pro for late 2010 and am running Windows 7 on it
Me: The reason of my questioning is due to the Touch Bar which makes the Function keys a virtual thing
David: Yes, they will be virtual, but there is a setting that allows you to show the function keys.
David: When in boot camp mode, you’d want to switch the touch bar to this setting, and they should function like normal.
You can turn off the Touch Bar with this open source utility, Touch Bar Disabler. It disables the Touch Bar display, while mapping brightness controls onto Ctrl + 0, Ctrl + 1, volume controls onto Ctrl + 8, Ctrl + 9, Ctrl + 0.

From the release note:
Adobe said it is an experimental feature. It could be that this functions is not turned on automatically.
