How to setup and use a graphics tablet with Photoshop - Wacom Intuos Pro
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- I recently purchased a new Wacom Intuos medium tablet to replace my old graphics tablet. We also got a small-sized Wacom tablet so Ashleigh (a member of our team) could learn to retouch using a tablet and pen instead of her mouse.
I show you how to correctly set up the Wacom and how I use a graphics tablet with Photoshop. Ashleigh shows you her experiences during the initial setup and how she adjusted to all the functions whilst using her graphics tablet and pen on a retouching project.

Very good on the basics. Found much here I didn't get anywhere else. I'm ready to dive in!
Because you're left-handed, looking at your setup, for all us right-handed folks, is like looking in a mirror. Excellent!
Only wish I had gone for the medium instead of the large...
Thank you for this video. How come nobody talks about “force proportions “ but you sir ? You just saved my sanity here.
You are most welcome
Thank you for this Karl & team, my Wacom is being delivered today after your previous recommendation video. Just as a side note, I wanted to say thank you for the education course content, it’s been a real help, you’ve got a great team there 👍
There is a lot of clear cut no nonsense straightforward content that Karl is purveying on this UA-cam channel. I find myself clicking on his videos whenever I come across them. Have just subscribed. Wacom had a sale this spring so picked up the medium size Intuos Pro model, but have yet to use it as I have been busy with other projects. Maybe get round to it in the next few weeks
Thank you.
Switching to a tasblet is like moving to a new neighbourhood. You know how to drive but your not familiar with the streets. Would love to hear a reassessment from Ashleigh in three months.
Thanks for this great overview. So much more comprehensive than Wacom's quick start material. Highly informative without overwhelming.
Glad it was helpful!
I getting myself small pro tablet. Super excited to try it..
Awesome, ive been contemplating if this would be a useful purchase..the last couple years ive made needless purchases and now i tend to think more before i spend. Thank you!!
The button on the pen I have mapped as alt and right click, it makes things like selecting a source for cloning and healing and selecting color with the brush much more convenient and less disruptive. The right click gives fast access to brush properties. The lower four buttons is mapped to shift, control, alt and space and the upper to the circular menu, touch on/off that I never use, redo and undo. I use the ring for brush size constantly, I find it much easier to use the ring than the brackets on the keyboard.
I love the Wacom, but I have to say, I use it for EVERYTHING. And I don’t have a mouse anymore. The Wacom can do it all 👌🏻
Cool which wacom product your currently using & programs maya, zbrush photo etc..
I don't get how people don't use the buttons on the pen, they are awesome in my opinion.
I use ctrl+opt custom keystroke on the lower button to quickly change my brush size and hardness.
The other button i use for custom on screen controls (wheel that has my actions and keystrokes on it)
On a multi screen setup i use Display toggle button on my Intuos (the only one i use)
Thanks for the video its awesome
Very practical instructions for a begineer like me. Many thanks.
Yeah, I agree... when I first started, I took some time to get used to the stylus. But once we got over that, it's a god-sent for retouching.
Your videos are so clear and informative! Thanks for all of the details! I use the XP-Pen Artist 12 Pro with digital pen and photoshop program . It’s the best thing I ever did for photo editing. It’s seriously amazing. And way cheaper and more useful than the Wacom cintiq.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks Ash and thanks Karl, very helpful
Great video! Excellent explanation of pros/cons. Cheers, mate!
Glad it was helpful
About to pull the trigger on one! Never used a tablet before but I want one mainly for beauty photos retouching.
Great video Karl - really good usable content.
I often use buttons. "Export as" on LR and to create "merge layers" on PS..not to mention brush size that is much easier to adjust it with buttons. I think it is all about how you get used to it but "merge layers" button saves my life. All in all it is a good thing to have. One thing though, if you are left handed, as I am, the rotating wheel acts like you were right handed. It took me a while to figure out why the brush size was not working.
Ordering a small Wacom now! Thanks!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Just purchased a Wacom Intuos Pro after your video, looking at Ashleigh is it cold in your studio and office.
Your video confirms that I need to get cracking on using my Intuous Small.
I hope you like it.
Thank you so much, It was very useful.
good video..& overview on this
I bought the small tablet, like she has. I was REALLY bummed out to find out that I don't have the 4 modes for the scrolling ring button, like Karl was showing. I would have to move up to a larger size do you have this option. I would use that a lot.
Every model has 4 modes on that ring. You need to press it to get the other 3 functions. Did you read the manual? I doubt they took it out from the small. It was always there, even the older intuos 4 and 3 had those functions in the small tablet
Thank you!
I want to buy Intuos Pro S for my 4K monitor 32". Ashleigh use a Intuos Pro S on iMac 27" 5K?
Nice. Very informative. I wish I had found you when I was setting up my new wacom. I stumbled into your channel after getting a dose of useless and amateurish youtubers, like phlearn, photoshop cafe and piximperfect, horrible channels. Thanks for taking the time. I also love the accent...🙂
Thanks Freddie and welcome aboard and enjoy using the Wacom.
PixImperfect is a very good channel.
Karl how do i drag a layer up one level with the wacom pen2
Karl, do you notice a difference between wireless and wired connections on the Intuos Pro?
No I don't think so. I didn't notice it seemed a bit slow on responsiveness on a buggy version of photoshop though and them Adobe did an update and it seemed better.
Great content, but I have a question and it’s do you have to look at the monitor screen or the Wacom tablet surface. I’m curious to know how it works. Thank you
Hi you don't really look at the tablet you just paint while looking at the screen
Karl Taylor much appreciated
@@VisualEducationStudio And that's my problem with them. Microsoft systems that I 've used had you working directly on the screen.
@@davidmilisock5200 You don't look at a mouse when you are using it. ?
I need an advice from an expert like you, I already have a Wacom Cintiq 16 full HD, want to do professional retouching, should I switch to Wacom Intuos Pro M? The computer I am using is a 16 inch macbook
Thank you and look forward to sharing sincerely
A link to this old video just appeared again on Facebook, so on the off-chance that anyone is looking here, I have a question: I have used Wacom tablets for 20 years, but suddenly, the pen will not "grab" some buttons, such as sliders in Photoshop and Camera Raw, or the curves adjustment. It is the same for the Wacom setup panel itself-I have to tap and drag the pen repeatedly to get anything to move. What is happening here, and how do I correct this?
Does this work with photoshop elements?
I don't know why UA-camrs think they need background music on their tutorials. If what you are saying in the tutorial is worth saying, let us hear it without the distraction of background music.
I agree
Do your own videos and stop complaining. I find the background music to be relaxing depending on the music and the content.
it's a 101 rule with video editing. You must have something stimulating to keep people engaged. Same with the number of cuts per minute.
Very good video and explanations. A little annoying the music during Ashley's speech
Does it come with a USB-C cable to work with newer laptops? Wacom only lists "USB" on their page.
Yes they have the new USB C connector
I recently bought one of these tablets but frankly the only time I use it is when I have to do very detailed work, very very fine tuning of things. The rest of the time it just sits there. The hype is a bit overblown. Is it good to have the option? Yes but ....Not so necessary
Yes I'd say that's true, I only use mine when Burning and Dodging or painting in PS, it doesn't get used for anything else.
I got my Wacom Intuos pro today only.
I am trying to define photoshop based setting for my tablet. but it is not taking those settings. It is taking global settings. I am not able to configure the keys based on my preferences for photoshop.
How do I make it work! I have it connected to bluetooth but it won't draw please help im so angry
you can change the pen to a mouse which works better for me . Struggled for a few hours before I changed it
I'm hoping there will be a new game plus to this.
for some reason Wacom PTH860 is not available for download
Informational, thank you. It just seems like antiquated technology today.
How do you mean antiquated?
Had to install my old intuos on my colleagues macbook running Monterey, what a pain in the ass.... what the hell did Apple do in terms of prohibiting input?! Took me quite a while to get it to work. Needed to show hidden files an folders so i could drop some apps in the wacom folder which are hidden. I still notice some apps do not respond. Apple really bunked down on security now :(
Great video, an£ agree about keyboard buttons Versus the buttons in tablet. Never used them. should have talked about the radial and express menus these are very useful. If she says “burning and dodging” one more time! simple fact is to do that expertly and skillfuly on skin you need a fair amount of experience and to understand what texture actually is. And painting skill. The amount of times you hear beginners talking this and “frequency separation” is nuts. When it’ll to take a few years of visual experience to understand WHY frequency separation is so fake looking.
Thanks, but basically for what you are using it for, you do NOT need the Pro version. Like myself, The normal Intuos or cheaper tablets are just perfect and cheaper. Unless you are doing lot's of graphics or art drawings, the Pro is Over kill. I use one of the buttons set to "Option" so I can use it quickly with the stamp tool.
I bought the Wacom small , and after 20 min of using it , I put it back in the box , very annoying to use Tablette for the first time and I don't have the patient to get use to it at the moment .
Very good information but the music in Ashley's review is really annoying and distracting. Is it really necessary?
Awesome video, BUT, that background music is loud, annoying, and distracting
I'll tell our video editor your thoughts
Using apple in 2020. So sad
why does he talk like that?
Because you smell. :)
british
Nice video. :-) I just cringe every time I hear people mispronounce the word... The PROPER Pronunciation sounds like 'Walk 'em" without the L... or 'Walk um' with a silent L... NOT like Whack 'em or whackom or Waycom but like Walkum. :-) Call them, see how they answer the phone then you'll know :-) Cheers
Ah OK, I'm pretty sure everyone here in the UK is saying it incorrectly.
