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 :)

Which tablet do you use?

@grahamlapwood263 4 года назад

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.

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.

You're the first and only RU-vidr 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!!!

Most complete and customizable tutorial on RU-vid, I really appreciate your guidance my friend

@patriciasawas1090 5 лет назад

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.

@C4D4U 3 года назад

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.

@a3an.k 5 лет назад

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.

@itsthetinysistersshow327 5 лет назад

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.

@diba4645 5 лет назад

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

@AndrewBrandt531 10 месяцев назад

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.

@strandboy23 8 месяцев назад

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!

@roberttrupp3947 5 лет назад

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!)

@anlsagn7176 3 года назад

@Basirovsergey 2 года назад

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!

@ceciliainnes2586 3 года назад

@JFW5358 Год назад

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.

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

@michaeldileo8815 4 года назад

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!

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!

@marianosilva1261 4 года назад

Love the effort that you give in your explanations.. Super gratefull for your hard work, best wacom video so far !!

@Pcbdude82 4 года назад

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.

@MGrose407 5 лет назад

At last an excellent practical tutorial for the Wacom tablet. I have been struggling for ages with the setup. Thanks very much.

@MentosCubing 4 года назад

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.

@kevintimmons446 3 года назад

@paulsmile9548 3 года назад

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 amazing and I love everything that you produce You make it very simple to follow and you convinced me to buy a Wacom tablet pro medium. I’ve been creating wrist discomfort from all of the mouse work. I’ve been doing on my editing, and I cannot wait to speed up my workflow and efficiency with this tablet! The shortcuts that you suggested make total sense for my style of editing so thank you thank you thank you !!!!

@shirleyhallman8239 4 года назад

Thanks for this. Very helpful. I have a old Wacom Bamboo so don't have the ability to customize per application, but the last tip of backing up preferences might work for that. I can set preferences per application, save it with name of that application, then load it when I'm using that application.
