[@wacom]

Great video! Thank you for the love

[@juliatrotti]

Thanks so much guys!

[@Setright230]

Wacom Julia Trotti great to see you guys take note that Juilia did this video to help us out there. As I’m on a veterans pension and this is a great idea for me to help my photography as ive got back into my photography for my rehab. So my old bamboo is out due to it was damaged while in a bag prob just to big. But I’m going to try saving up to get one. As I’d say the others at my clinic may find the use of one of these be great for things they do like drawing and other rehab stuff. Even just using there computers. I seem to be the go to guy for asking about stuff for some reason lol. So I guess when I can seeing it may cause some sales your way. Great to see you supporting an Australian Photographer and her Video. Cheers from 🇦🇺.

[@alexblank5674]

Awesome review! I see a lot of people reviewing this for digital art type work but I wanted to see how it was with real photo retouching like you use it with, so thanks for the info! I think this will be my next purchase! 🙂

[@starlashadow7913]

This helped me out so much! I have been wanting to get into the digital drawing world for a while now and have been looking for Wacom tablets that fit my taste. I think this is the one for me! Your video answered all my questions so thank you! ❤

[@pedrosalgadomedia]

I just got mine 2 days ago and I'm still getting used to it for editing photos. Still 10/10 would recommend.

[@ianlaurenson4729]

it would be good if you made a video showing how you use the tablet and your set up

[@juliatrotti]

I forgot to link it, but you can see me using the tablet in this editing video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZvPaIdshcx1ZrM so it shows how I retouch with it :)

[@patricialeonard9622]

real welder The Phlearn channel has an excellent video on how to set up and use the Wacom Tablet

[@Adriana.Gabriela]

That mouse comment is absolutely true. But as someone who isn't that professional (yet? 😁), and who doesn't have the money for a tablet at the moment, I do everything on the little touchpad by the laptop keyboard. It's a great alternative!

[@avinash2j]

Thank you, Julia. Your review is really helpful.

[@NateSceneTV]

Great in-depth review! Just got mine today

[@100ferose]

Thanks for sharing. I'm learning so much from your videos ☺️☺️

[@robthephotographer1]

Thank you for this video! I'm buying one today !! :)

[@julianabrito1677]

Excellent presentation! I bought a XP-Pen Deco 03 wireless drawing tablet a couple years ago. I got that over the wacom because it had a larger surface and was cheaper than the wacom intuos. It works fine in adobe illustrator and photoshop.

[@ForeverTJTigress]

I adore my tablet! It only took me a few hours to get the hang of it and made it so much easier for me to retouch. I would get really sick looking at the computer for so long and with the tablet my editing time was greatly reduced. I got a small one and kind of wish I went to the medium size but my budget didn’t allow it at the time

[@sg3-h7u]

the answered my question exactly! Didn't know if I needed the pro just to do photo editing in photoshop. Looks like the intuos will work just fine:))

[@yannicklagher]

This video really helped me deciding on which tablet I should buy! And it's this one! :) Thank you very much! It's a jungle out there so this was very helpful!

[@markjohnsonphotography]

Love using my tablet Wacom Intuos. Same one you use:)

[@lifeofwaley]

You're awesome Julia.. Great content as usual

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you!

[@kickoffgamer6838]

Recently , i bought this tablet . Its amazing !!!!

[@meisnameless]

Thanks! That video was very helpful! Are there any screen protectors you can recommend for it? (The medium size)

[@naimovfarhod]

Nice review, thank you! One question, any issues with bluetooth connection? Lags, connectivity issues?

[@nelsonm.5044]

My editing work is minimal on my photos, still I switched from mouse to a tablet last winter ...... I would not go back to mouse, like you said some mouvements are not natural with the mouse and you get more lrecision in your mouvements with the tablets

[@calypsopiter]

Very nice, quick and informative with regular vs pro comparison. And it's also very nice to watch and listen to you, it's calming :)

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you, glad you liked it!

[@marihuanpool]

Perfect!

[@juliancruz1927]

thanks for taking the time making this review. I have a question regarding the Bluetooth which is the main reason that I am deciding to get one like that. Do you need an extra adaptor USB to connect it? or is this connected via Bluetooth only similar to Bluetooth mac keyboard?

[@sandocisco]

I love watching your editing videos but I couldn't find one where you explained why one should use a tablet... until now. Now I have to find the money to get one hehe.

[@DarshanPatel-yq9hi]

Hi Julia, thank you for the explanation. Just bought the same tablet to use it with Macbook pro running OS Catalina. I am having problem with the drag and drop in all applications when connected to this tablet. Please help

[@egos1438]

Hello! That was a really nice review, I enjoyed every moment of it! I have a question tho. I dont know if its better to buy Intuos M with bt or Intuos Pro S. There's no price difference , and I spend tons of hours on Illustrator, and want to start drawing too. Which one would you recommend?

[@QwertyAsdfgZxcvb1]

Thank you for this video, I was juggling between this and the pro for retouching photos. Seems like you don't need those extra features that comes with the pro when it comes to that use case, so I doubt I would need them either.

[@andymm9828]

Thanks for the tip of the mouse 🖱 resolved my lag issues

[@Paldentseringsherpa]

"""doinkkkkk!!!!! " loved it lmao !!!!

[@refugioflores2226]

still deciding between this or the pro small version

[@cresnabeel786]

Thanks for the video. I would like to know if we can use it while using Zoom? During Zoom meetings I need to write on the whiteboard and with the mouse, it's really hard to write. Would it be suitable or do you have any other options for writing? Thanks and best regards.

[@pierrotcvb2]

Excellent video, and cute accent!

[@valeriasotillo8327]

Do u have any issues with the wireless features? Some people says it lags. Im not sure wich one to buy

[@ThomasRuhlandPhotography]

Hi, I use this Wacom to edit on Lightroom. What is the short cut to increase or decrease he size of the brush? And also adjust the feathering? I don’t have a big keyboard with bracket keys. Thanks

[@neon8589]

NeonKraken So I have a question: I want to get a graphics tablet that I can use for osu! and digital art that’s under $150. For the most part, I’ve narrowed it down to the CTH-480 and this (CTL4100). So it seems like the easy decision would be to go with the CTH-480 because so many ranked players use it and there are so many great reviews about it. My only issue is this: it’s nine years old, whereas the newer Intuos (CTH-4100) just came out last year. Are there any advantages to the 4100 besides the fact that it is newer? Will the 480 be outdated soon? Is it still good for digital art? Thanks.

[@alexvinnikov2967]

thx Julia for feedback! but what kind of type-model of tablet have Y been using before? I.m thinking about to downgrade from my Intuos Pro PTH-850 L to Bamboo CTH-670 type or Intuos 690 - both are M-version (i.m industrial designer use it for sketches and renderings). Any advices will take into account and appreciate

[@brandoncordy733]

I just bought it and love it

[@wolfqueen4636]

I’m curious to know if the surface gets scratched up easily and if the nibs worn off fast? I bought the Wacom intuos pro but I’m seeing a lot of negative reviews of it so I’m thinking of having it exchange

[@dimitristsakiris820]

I just purchased the small bluetooth and i plugged it in to charge and test it and everything was ok i guess,when fully charged i switched the bluetooth on and it lags too much!I have nothing else connected,do you know how to solve this?Im on mac os.

[@natsim7310]

Are there any problems with your palm resting on the tablet/ palm rejection on the Wacom Intuos Medium?

[@paulaeyre1091]

Hi I have just come across you video on the Wacom Intuos which I found very useful. Have you done a video on how to programmed the tablet to photoshop. If so could you please point me in the right direction. Many thanks

[@markharris5771]

I'm not too much into lots of toys with a million buttons. However, I do have 'The One By Wacom', which I think is part of the Bamboo series, it only has two buttons on the pen and I love it! I always use it so such a point I bought a smaller unnamed one for my laptop when I’m travelling. I have my pen pressure sensitive so it’s a bit like a real pen the harder you press the the heavier the edit. For landscape photography they are almost essential. Like yourself I had to force myself to use it to get into the habit, and even though mine is hard wired the pen can impact on my mouse if not put away correctly. I've had my Wacom for about 4 years and I think they’ve just about halved in price here in the U.K. A superb bit of kit.

[@ccbphoto]

Will the Wacom One work with Lightroom and Photoshop?

[@sambanes3766]

Thanks for the ASMR :)

[@JasonLeVlogs]

oh thank you for this video. I just asked you in your other videos

[@davecavanaugh3300]

Any thoughts on the small version of the tablet?

[@saleemrishah]

i adore you literately

[@vulakyr]

I'm working as a graphic designer making banners. Websites also logotypes but I use photoshop most of the time. I start having pain from too many clicks and I got tentonities and pain in the wrist. Do you think for the work that I'm I doing a tablet will help? Or its only for retouching and painting. I'm waiting for your opinion because I really have to decide if i will change my mouse or I will swicth up to tablet. Thank you!!

[@photovdotipsbydaddybond4634]

I used it for 3 years and now need to replace the inflated battery. How can I do it myself? Now covid 19 very crisis here in Thailand and I have no idea to go for the seviced. Thanks. ♥️

[@umartariq]

can i use this product draw something and share the drawing via ms teams or zoom ?

[@fractalelement857]

can i use it with zbrush nicely ? is it small for zbrush ? (digital sculpting purposes)

[@agritech2024]

Thank you🙏

[@yasminhassan7189]

So if I do get it, can I connect it to my phone to the intuos tablet, I don't need to use any wires?

[@Rajendrakpatelproduction]

Hey need help.. plz reply 😁. Ah I'm thinking to buy the small ver .. so should I go wth small or the med ?

[@tarekemara4175]

is the Bluetooth version available to be used by the cable? or only wirelessly?

[@AllIsWellaus]

Really good review. Cheers. For me, if you showed the tablet in action it would have been perfect.

[@Intense1994]

My Wacom Tablet Intuos Pro is totally the new one and I've bought it 3 years ago. I have no idea how to use it. How can I start use my tablet? I know that tablet is probably better than mouse. Julia, I love your channel and your personality 🙂 xoxo

[@JeffCreates]

Just start. As Julia said, plug it in and use it for everything. You just need to get used to it in your hand. After a while it'll be second nature.

[@kazc99]

Don’t forget downloading the drivers from wacom’s website if you’d like pen pressure in programs on your computer!

[@shazdraws]

Is this the Wacom intuos CTL-4100 or the CTL-6100??

[@TheMegbrunette]

I feel that my hand cramps up more with the pen than the mouse, I retouch 8hours a day 5 days a week. But I totally prefer the tablet for dodge and burn skin retouching!

[@mozzamhosein6476]

Hi, I am huge fan of your videos. I just got the Wacom tablet. Can you share your settings?

[@romainmaletphotographie]

HI thx a lot for your video, can you explain us the setting you use for your wacom tablet if you think it will be a good idea for a new video :-) i love your work photography and naturel retouching thx a lot

[@HAIFA620]

Can we use this tablet for writing? editing word, pdf?

[@Nitintheway]

can we use that as touchpad for scrolling webpages

[@TarekKoujah]

Great video, which size is the tablet?

[@raptorswire7212]

what about showing how it writes so we can see the latency?

[@hdvidclips]

About how far from your computer will this work... I'm a teacher and would love to be able to walk around the room using this!

[@emilvaldivia]

Pretty!

[@noneofyourbusiness1773]

does the pen have battery or like nibs .

[@Chocobear]

Interesting, because I can feel the small dots with my fingertips, but just barely.

[@Daniel-rj7bc]

Can you also use this without bluetooth? My pc doesn't have Bluetooth

[@LProds]

I have the same one and I have to plug it in cause it doesn't work with my computer. I guess it's too old because it works on my wife's laptop. But according to the specs it should work. Anyway it's definitely useful for retouching.

[@zbruch66]

very nice) thank you

[@amitsrivastava6508]

does it contain bluetooth receiver to connect to PC ??

[@creepywaffles4783]

I just got one today but I had to go to bed Shhhhhhh DONT tell my parents that I am up I was also very worried about the dots

[@TiffanyLouann]

Would I be able to use this for everyday drawing like Microsoft office paint style? I use Gimp (similar to photoshop but free) and i was gonna mainly use it for maybe making wallpapers (drawing stuff) or making little drawing things like that (if i make sense)

[@juliatrotti]

Yes definitely! One of my hobbies is drawing, so I use my tablet for that too :)

[@kumarshilimkar6697]

Hey hii i am kumar I am ui designer and graphics designer I want to purchase tab Which one should good for me as per my profession... Plzz suggest

[@leefnormie7121]

I’m late but ! Can it be connected with iPhone ??

[@angleu]

What's the link for this model?

[@yairweill5202]

Is the iphone compatible via bt

[@Scirocco1982]

Haha. :) I got a Wacom Bamboo Fun&Touch and I'm just thinking of buying an Intuos. :D There's no such thing as a coincidence. :D

[@eaarskog]

Hi, Nice video and god information about Your New tablet. but I Wonder if we can use different programs with Wacom beside Photoshop. I use canons DPP 4. Does it work with that? :):)

[@JKTCreation]

Great video. Just wondering does the input lag when using bluetooth? as in as good as when using cable?

[@juliatrotti]

Thanks! I find that it only lags if I also have a bluetooth mouse connected at the same time. So when I go to use my tablet, I just turn off my mouse and it works without lag!

[@anothersoulintheuniverse]

That was the perfect ending!! Lol!!!

[@UbaidUllah-lb9kn]

Madam which t tablet is good for Photoshop

[@rudreshmd7983]

U r nice..ur explanation is also nice

[@juditszucs8439]

My fave part 6:29 😁😁😁 so adorable 💖

[@happydraws7779]

Can u connect it to an iphone

[@Jana-hq7xf]

Hi Julia, I am just starting with retouching and was wondering how you make sure or how do you know that your tablet/ computer screen has a high colour accuracy? I find that on my devices the colours look very different on each of them which makes it really hard to edit colours because I don't now which screen is true to the "real" colours... oh and thanks for all your explanation videos, they are very helpful😊

[@hafrankhauser2805]

I have the same question. Thank you for your time Julia

[@juliatrotti]

I would recommend to get something like a Spyder (or any brand) to calibrate your screen! That way you don't have to second guess yourself :)

[@Jana-hq7xf]

@@juliatrotti Oh okay thank you very much❤

[@vantastic]

Great video. Does the bt version also support hard wired?

[@juliatrotti]

Thanks and yes! You can use it with BT or USB :)

[@FindingMinwoo]

Just got a S version which is 4100wl !

[@MrJrusselltx]

Have you ever tried a track ball instead of a mouse? I find them less fatiguing than a mouse.

[@Ninja-po1yb]

@julia_trotti LOVE YOU JULIA TROTTI. youre an amazing photographer and love all your videos❤️❤️❤️❤️😘

[@frostoxxd8852]

Hey I have a question I have been curious to ask you. Can the Wacom tablet Bluetooth be connected to your (old)apple iPad?

[@juliatrotti]

No you can't connect it to iPad as you need to install the software to be able to use it on a computer, which isn't available in the app store.

[@Narsty_Boy]

Wacom, wacoff. Helpful video.

[@juanquispe3494]

Wacom tablet ASMR is my fetish.

[@MsLina-rv3ux]

Yo wtf

[@PrasenjeetKawale]

Can you use finger touch on this device? Basically for pinch zoom and scrolling

[@juliatrotti]

No, you can only use the pen on this one!

[@TC_Conner]

At about 1:20 in you mentioned something that I didn't quite understand. I think you said "aursie." What is "aursie?" Thanks for the info here Ms. Julia, it made me decide to upgrade to the same Wacom tablet you're using from an older usb connected Wacom I have now. Keep up the great work you're doing to help us become better photographers! (Also, thanks for lowering the volume of your background music, it's much better! And I'd be remiss not to mention, again, how much I love your accent!)

[@TC_Conner]

Thank you for the clarification.

[@alessiazampano2594]

Hi Julia, thank u loads for ur work on this channel. i rarely comment but ur sincereness makes me less shy for once :D Do you think the SMALL size of the tablet wouldn't be enough? Love from Italy xoxo

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! Yeah you can definitely make it work with a small tablet as well! I used to edit on a small sized one and it was fine for skin retouching :)

[@Jakiyyyyy]

Is Wacom Intuos works well in Photoshop such as making a selection?

[@juliatrotti]

Yep I pretty much only use my tablet for working in Photoshop!

[@vicenzo_laratom5857]

How use image path pen tool cutting keys use

[@danaedolly917]

Could You give us your opinion about polaroids ? And if you like polaroid pictures and cameras, could you make a video about the subject, please ?

[@juliatrotti]

Yes I would love to make a video about this! I've been using polaroid cameras for years, so it would be a fun topic :)

[@soonsie369]

Can you PLEASEEEEEE do a tutorial how to connect it to phone?
