PiXimperfect 🤗 big up bro
ভাই আপনি এত দামী কি বোর্ড আর ট্যাবলেট ব্যবহার করেন ।
Which tablet do you use?
Brilliant tutorial as usual .. one small thing, when creating a new shortcut in PS you need to HOLD Down the Ctrl Key while adding the other elements. Been driving me crazy until the nice man at Adobe sorted it out.
How can I solve the lag issue i have on windows 10. My wacom is wired.
This video was what convinced me to finally get a Wacom tablet. Best photoshop / lightroom channel on UA-cam.
Trippalhealicks same here. lol
What model did you buy??
Couldn't agree more!
You saved me this evening. Just bought mine and your tutorial was life saver. Wacom should pay you. Thank you!
Yeah 😂
Absolutely one of the best I've come across on YT. Clear, easy to follow without any problems as to where you are on both the computer and tablet. Thank you for making this whole setup less complicated.
Most complete and customizable tutorial on UA-cam, I really appreciate your guidance my friend
You're the first and only UA-camr I've subbed to that I've also clicked the bell icon for. Amazingly clear and detailed content. I feel like I'm in an upper-crust design college and you're my distinguished professor.
OMG this is so timely. I’ve been retouching photos and cutting paths for years with a mouse and just recently committed to using a tablet. I’ve been struggling particularly with paths. Thank you!!!
bloody hell. this guy really knows what he's doing.
@FiB yep, but its not just about the knowleadge, but how you percive it, and this kid is the best in that area, i learnt more in 2 month from him than in years from others.
@@LatkaKaufman hey dear could you suggest me 10/12inch wacom pen-tab for teaching purpose!!. I gonna place an order. Help me..
@@ashishkumarsoni4626 go with the Wacom New Intuos (Medium)
I was 5 minutes into this tutorial and I knew that this channel simply offers the best tutorials at the highest professional level. Awesome Unmesh. Keep going.
Thank you very much for this time saving super tutorial. Very great content.
I'll see what else you have so nice for me.
And of course I immediately subscribed to you.
Thank you SOOOO much. My wife bought me a Wacom tablet several years ago, and I have hardly used it. Now I have a clue on HOW to use this amazing tool.
In did however have 2 hours used to turn off Windows Ink and load the app correction in CC2019. Turns out I needed to unlock visibility for hidden folders. (Very Important!)
Another fantastic tutorial. Your tutorials are wonderfully detailed but so easy to follow. You also always provide more information than can be found on other tutorials covering the same topic. I have never seen anyone else point out about 'forced proportions' before and also the backup of preferences. Well done and thank you.
I was speechless when you explained changing keys for left handed people. You are amazingly sensitive to needs of people!!!
I just got my tablet today and so thankful I started with this tutorial first. Everything in it proactively saved my sanity - so many things but especially mapping the screen and tablet area. thank you!
This is like my wish came true, I am watching your tutorials every night before I go to sleep and yesterday I was thinking how cool it would be to see how you are using the tablet, since I’ve got one too and see your setup. Thank you for that, you’re amazing.
I've had a Wacom PT-640 tablet for a couple of years and never could figure how to set it up. Your video was an excellent getting started lesson. Thank you.
Hey, Unmesh! I should say that when I fist stumbled upon one of your videos, I've had a very little Photoshop experience. Today is the day that I bought my fist tablet, it's also Wacom, the one you use. I just wanna thank you from the deep of my soul for this journey, you're my best teacher ever!
I've been using a Wacom tablet for many years and never understood why I could not make the pen pressure sensitive in Photoshop. Thanks to the link you give at 1.24, I have finally managed to make it work. Hooray and thanks for that which has made such a difference for me.
This is the most clear photoshop and wacom setup tutorial i ever see. Thanks brother for making it easy to understand
Unmesh, I just got my Wacom Pro tablet today. Your video is gold! I even took notes! I never would have put together assigning tablet shortcuts with using the keyboard mapping tool -- and I've been using Photoshop (off and on) for nearly 25 years. I always learn something new from your tutorials. Thanks so much.
Thank you for letting us know how you manage to be that fast 💨 as always a most professional lesson. Always saves my day when a new video of yours is announced
Just ordered my tablet...thanks so much! (update) Got it, and have customized my tablet much like you have. This was SO helpful!
I have to say it...your videos are truly helpful! They always make me want to go back into my vault of photos and play with them. This is the one notification and subscription I actually look at when I see it pop up on my phone. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos.
Dude, what a charming personality you reflect, also giving quality details for the viewer's need. You just doing this in a perfect way. Please keep up the good work!
Best Wacom tablet tutorial I have ever watched. Thank you.
I love your clear tutorials, making it seem so simple in this otherwise labyrinthian world of technology.
One of the best videos of your channel.
I don't have any pen pressure tablet but watching this video simply blow my mind.
Specially the animation that you have made with the words and custom color gradients.
after a long wait we were introduced with right professional tool..
By this professional tool list is complete...
Outstanding in clarity and usefulness! I've had my tablet for quite a while and have use it inconsistently but wanted to get back to using it more often. This helps a lot!! Thanks.
Thank you for walk through. Exactly the help I was looking for.
This is gold, really helped me set-up my Wacom. I am using Affinity Photo as opposed to PS but can adapt the instructions easily.
Im not even so interested in photoshop, but this guy's voice always makes me comeback
Paused at 0:30 I will definitely be getting the "screen protector" for mine. I just got mine in, I am glad that they had the little test samples in the package.
Umesh rocks! I've learned so much from him!
This is an insanely useful Photoshop video!! Thanks a lot for this!
Wow what an amazing video!!! You my friend are an editing God!!! I have had a Wacom tablet for years and now looking forward to customizing it based on your knowledge and methods! Thanks again, you are the MAN!!!👍🏼👍🏼
Your tutorials have inspired me to invest in a Wacom tablet, and this one will help me to get the best out of it. Thank you for the amazing content!
This was far easier to understand than the manual or Wacom's short setup video! It all makes sense now! Thanks!!!!
This was extremely helpful, Unmesh. So thorough I went out to buy my own tablet just to finish the tutorial. Thanks for helping me get started with this beast. Can't wait to dig into some editing! Yeeeee!!
Unmesh, you sir are a nestor in all things Photoshop. you are the one I trust the most on YT to get the info I need to excel.
I saw other commentors are asking for a tablet tutorial for Lightroom. I just want to second their request; it would be so beneficial, my friend!
Thank you so much! I've had a tablet for years but haven't really taken full advantage of it because I wasn't sure how. I found myself going back to my keyboard and mouse instead of using the tablet but now I will be using my tablet more
Just got one for Xmas 2022 and this is by far the best video on setup! Thanks for the detailed instructions as always.
You are an excellent instructor! love your tutorials.
I had issues with the mapping (of my Intuos Pro M, indeed), now I know that I have to use the full area of the tablet, because I'm on a 27" screen. And you're right, it allows to exercise without having to run :p Many thanks, Unmesh, that was a very useful tutorial. Keep creating!
I've just bought a Wacom tablet and this guide was super helpful. Many thanks!
This tutorial is golden, I was able to follow with PS2020 and a new Wacom Intuos - Thanks!
You are just amazing in so many ways! You are my virtual Go-To friend when it comes to editing and photoshop tips/techniques! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey I just bought my Wacom Intuos Art a week back! Been struggling but it a bit. What brilliant timing Unmesh! :D
this is definitely the best tutorial for Wacom, clear, intelligent and very useful. thanks
I was hoping for some time you would do a wacom vid and here it is! Yours is absolutely the best, most practical wacom instruction on UA-cam. If you have even more Wacom tips we'd love to see them. Thx
this is awesome and makes taking the step to using one far less overwhelming, thank you ;) just what I've been looking for.
Best lessons on UA-cam! Thanks :)
Best tutorial ever watched on setting up Wacom tablet
I absolutely love all his videos! Clear and precise! Thank you!
Excellent. Thank you very much. This was the tutorial I needed ! Very clear an useful. Congratulations.
Thank you for this video! It really helped me to see how my Wacom tablet could be integrated into my Photoshop workflow! Your videos are really useful, in-depth and fun to watch.
This is good stuff! I think this will definitely help with my Wacom flow of retouching
The best tutorial on how to set up a Wacom, I’ve come across on YT. Thanks for sharing!
Finally ordered one of these tablets. Figured I'd check out youtube for best setup. Once again man, your videos are so helpful. I never would have thought of doing the brush size with that bottom button on the pen. That is going to be super useful. And I was going to use the quick buttons for zooming. But your mention looks so much better.
Thank you so much Unmesh! Very useful and comprehensive!
THANK YOU!!!! TON OF GREAT AND HELPFUL INFO!! SAVED ME SO MUCH TIME!!
At last an excellent practical tutorial for the Wacom tablet. I have been struggling for ages with the setup.
Thanks very much.
I say yes, but only if it comes with a pressure sensitive pen for the display. If it isn't pressure sensitive, a touch screen isn't that useful.
Absolutely brilliant, concise tutorial. Excellent
The most fantastic instructor is right here, folks. Thank you, sir! Keep it coming!
Absolutely fantastic tutorial! Thanks a million
I am exponentially grateful for this video!
I found out that after using the R key for picture rotation, and you wish to bring the image back to it's original position quickly, just press the escape key. Great tutorial. Thank you.
Excellent mate!!! Another fantastic tutorial. Thanks!!!
Awesome. Thank you. You're an amazing instructor.
Love your videos and style of presenting. Very well put together and so informative. Thank you!
Hello Unmesh Thank You so much for the last tip of this video..."The backup"
After the last update of Mac Navigator yesterday , I had to reinstall the Wacom Driver cause I couldn't connect
the tablet anymore. I was very Upset. Haha
Anyway that backup tip helps a lot for the last step !
Btw thanks for all these video you are featuring they make Photoshop way easier ;)
Philippe From Belgium
Thanks for this clear tutorial. Helped a lot!
Love the effort that you give in your explanations.. Super gratefull for your hard work, best wacom video so far !!
Who are the best guy in internet who explain the best way the things unbelievably. I hope you stay present ever in youtube. Congratulations for your channel
Wow thanks, your classes are so helpful and inspiring. Just bought myself a small tablet and learn to work with it. Best advice ever
Super helpful. I have a series of PS actions I use for my workflow (have to output multiple sizes and color spaces of the same image) and mapping them to the ExpressKeys was a great tip!
You are just amazing Unmesh! The only Photoshop-related channel I ever go to! Thank you
2:15: A great illustration of wired v. wireless lag for me was watching streaming video in VR. In a program like Hulu or Netflix, the program has this big, beautiful widescreen TV in a virtual space, but when you watch a movie with the headphones connected via Bluetooth, the words are always WAY out of sync with the lips of the characters onscreen! Plug in the headphones, however, and everything is spot on. It's a REALLY easy way to see the difference in latency!
After watching this I cant wait till Monday to get my Wacom now. Thank you sir.
For me You’re: My Best Teacher, thanks a lot for your video-lessons
I just watched the full video, I don't even have a wacom. He is so smooth i could't resist !!
This is absolutely 100% USEFUL. Thank you very much.
Excellent clarity thanks a million
Bill
Amazing tutorial, it helped me so much to get started. I had just to search a while for the 0 and the brackets, since they were not on my keyboard, but some googling did the trick!!! Thxxxxx
This video is so great, it helped me so much. I had many problems using my new tabled but now its a lot easier and more comfortable.
Thanks you so much!
Thank you so much!!! Working with tablet is so much more convenient now))))
Best tutorial for Wacom. Thank You!
This is an amazing presentation. Much appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you for very clear explanation of using wacom tablet . Very usefull
Just bought my wacom tablet medium...excited
Awesome video! I am definitely going to use some of these shortcuts at work. Thanks again!
Thank you for your easy to understand tutorial on setting up a Wacom tablet.
Your tutorial is, as usual, excellent. Thank you very much
i love you i love you i love you... you just helped me fix an issue I had occure to a software update and it was costing me soooo much retouching time. THANKS
Unmesh you are so good at covering things. Many thanks
Awesome video! You have no idea how much this has helped me with my setup. Thanks heaps :)
Awesome video,thanks for helping everyone with the setup. You have a great channel here and ive subscribed to it. Keep up the great work.
I did not expect the video to be that good; Thanks
One of the best and useful videos, which I saw before ever!! Pls, continue to provide one of the best content on youtube!
Great Tutorial! Thank you . I use Adobe Photoshop with a couple of XP-PEN Deco tablets - a Deco MINI7 in the laptop bag and a Deco 03 wireless tablet on the desk, both are from when "Deco" was the pro line and "Star" was the amateur. You can get them used for cheap and they will last forever. it's great for photo retouching!
you are a star....the best teacher for PS and LR on YT
