9 Best tips for WACOM Tablet in PHOTOSHOP

[@Gottaculat]

The tracing tip is a really good tip. As a kid, I used to use tracing paper a lot to learn pencil control, and paint by numbers to learn brush control. It was a tip my grandpa showed me, and I listened, because the old guy could paint photo-real portraits in oils. He said that's how he developed his brush control. No matter how bad my drawings sucked, he always encouraged me, and would show me his early work, which was just as garbage. Definitely practice!

just got my citniq 1660 and immediately implemented all of these tips. You just saved me weeks/months/years of time figuring out some really useful basics. I'm already having a blast tooling around the canvas. Thank you so much!!!

[@shamanbeartwo3819]

When I saw a 4 year old video about Wacom and Photoshop, I wasn't sure it would be current. But these are some great tips starting with Cntl-Z!! And Save!! I like the tracing idea.

[@sombatone]

Very useful thanks, and with Goku at the end it's even more amazing...

[@JB12132]

THANK YOU! I have been getting so grumpy lol, trying to get the hard/soft brush size thing set up and all videos I have watched had old info and you come along with the ctrl/opt and no right click which is what everyone else has been harping on about and BOOM I'm there. Thank you and nice to get a real video and chat going on in it. :)

[@ReVoNDesign]

Thanks Jonathan! The tablet is really fun when knowing how to use it :-)

[@radharcanna]

This has all the important PS shortcuts in one place. I've been using Intuos for many years and just upgraded to a Pro, but wish I had known about this video before. Please do a video about the touch ring. Thanks a lot!

[@RusticRaver]

How do i make a back screen rather than the white one , since i wanna use it for teaching kindly assist how to change it

[@edufrancisco]

Do you have any tips on how to resolve this issue of disconnections and loss of pen detection on the graphics tablet surface, please? I work with the updated driver version of Wacom Intuos Pro PTH 460, Photoshop 2023, and macOS Ventura 13.4. I've already performed all the procedures for installing, reinstalling, cleaning, and updating the macOS, Photoshop, and Wacom systems. Nothing solves it.

[@ManjariMurthy]

Where can i find the color wheel option? Its shows rgb, lab and other sliders only. Can't find the color wheel like you have.

[@sonamahtani1014]

One of the most helpful videos I've seen yet on this topic. One question - did you have to buy photoshop seperately to the Wacom tablet or is it already installed on it?

[@ReVoNDesign]

Glad to hear that you found it helpful, thank you! Photoshop is a different program. You can purchase it separately or as a part of the Adobe CC set

[@pesoklukotlet]

thank a lot man

[@umeshkd]

Thanks!!!

[@martindelgado2486]

Gracias por los consejos! Saludos desde Perú :D

[@ReVoNDesign]

I understood "Gracias" and "Perú". Graag gedaan en groeten vanuit Holland ;-)

[@zweverweenmin6186]

Hello, I made a scan of one of my drawings but cant figure out how to draw on them? thanks in advance

[@ReVoNDesign]

You mean draw over them? You could import them, put a new layer on top of that and draw in that layer.

[@albert-537]

thank you , saved lots of time . lol at ART SCHOOL :')

[@shovi2934]

thanks!!

[@aaronkirby106]

Thank you for the informative video! I can't find the window you are working in in the first half of the video. I am in windows. Where can I find it? Thanks!

[@ReVoNDesign]

Hey Aaron. If you would press the windows key and type "Wacom" You will find the Wacom Desktop Center. Then go to My Devices and click on your device. :-)

[@aaronkirby106]

@@ReVoNDesign Thanks for the reply! All I get when I do that is a web search for "Wacom, Japanese company"

[@ReVoNDesign]

@@aaronkirby106 No worries, I am here to help. Too bad I don't work on windows. Is it installed properly? Maybe in "Configuration" or looked at the installed files.

[@aaronkirby106]

Thanks ReVoN. I appreciate the help! Maybe I'll just try to reinstall the drivers. I'll let you know how it goes.

[@fernandomiranda765]

i think i use to be able to pan and zoom with the wacom pencil now i cant, anyone knows why?

[@PatrickPellegrini]

Thank you

[@stevebailey8538]

Can a Mouse be used in combination with the pen on a Wacom Cintiq 22 drawing tablet

[@zyj3114]

may i know why i cant change my brush settings>shape dynamics>control? Unable to click anything under shape dynamic

[@miruz3519]

press b so your brush is active

[@AdiBacea]

do Wacom tablets have the full photoshop (just like on a a PC)?

[@KongoUwe]

hey man, i have the problem that the pen works faster as the line i want to draw. Do you know about that problem?

[@ReVoNDesign]

Hey there, yes I know what the issue is. Sorry to tell you, but that means that your computer/mac is too slow to keep up with your pace. Been there so I know how annoying it is. You could try to speed it up by cleaning your PC or get a new one. Working with the brush tool is a heavy process and takes a lot of your computer. You could try and find of there are settings you can change, but not sure about that.

[@av0wly]

You may just need to adjust the stabilizer to delay the speed.

[@ellecolquitt5244]

I am getting a dot at the end of my brush stroke, not every time but too often. What am I doing wrong, how can I correct this? Thanks, great video!

[@ReVoNDesign]

You mean an extra dot at the end of the brush (which you intend to make)? That might be due to an bug in your tablet. Resetting it could work. Delete the software and reinstall it.

[@ellecolquitt5244]

@@ReVoNDesign I found a fix for it - in Wacom Settings under Options, uncheck Tip Up Assist. Again thanks for your video, will check out more of them:)

[@ReVoNDesign]

Thank you for letting me know! It helps me as well to know how to fix certain problems, thanks voor de follow up. Enjoy your day ;-)

[@marcusellenby3923]

Great have you done one for Lightroom as well?

[@ReVoNDesign]

Hey Marcus, I don't use Lightroom that often. So because I don't master it I don't have a tutorial for that one. Thanks for your support and kind words :-)

[@aitordotco]

nice.

[@theyarewatching]

The best vid

[@vkiavian]

What Wacom tablet do you suggest for PhotoShop?

[@ReVoNDesign]

Hi Vivian! Depends on what you want and your budget. I have a the Intuos Pro size M and it does the job. With a bigger budget you could go for the Large and if you just won the lottery, by the Cintiq pro. That's just a thing of beauty!

[@vkiavian]

@@ReVoNDesign Thanks a lot !

[@beewell1600]

i have my second hand on keyboard, so my dclick is actually an eraser

[@Behindstage]

Practice practice practice and practice. Why does every Wacom user on YT draw manga characters. Be sure nice to see something different

[@NectarineSun]

you're pronouncing Wacom incorrectly and you're saying it soooo many times lol
