  • Set Up Your Wacom Tablet for the Best Retouching Experience in Photoshop! Discover the most efficient pen and tablet settings to edit much faster with comfort and ease. We will also learn how to change some keyboard shortcuts to make it coordinate better with your tablet. Besides, we will dive into several essential tips and tricks that make efficient use of the tablet.
    We'll start by installing the right drivers for your Wacom and adjust some settings to make sure your device performs appropriately. Then, we will talk about whether you should keep your tablet wired or wireless and why. Then we'll move onto the Wacom Tablet Properties to set up the pen, express keys, mapping, along with setting up your keyboard. In the end, we have a significant lesson that I highly recommend learning.
    Hope this tutorial helps. Thank you so much for watching :)

    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!
