Fantastic course, Anthony. I think maybe I've finally understood layers! Now I need to put everything you showed me into practice. Thank you so much.

As usual, a really clear explanation of the subject. You’re a star Anthony, many thsnks.

Brief, informative, clear logic & beautiful voice. If I can only select one video that I enjoyed most in the last 5 years, that is it. Thank you.

Hi Anthony. Today my wife gave me the exact same tablet. Nice that I found your video, I can set it up right away. Because this video is like all other videos of you clear and understandable.

Thanks very much for your video on how you have your tablet setup. Now I will go do mine.

You may already know this now but you can shrink the work area to a small section for moving diagonally across the tablet on the medium. You can put it in one of the corners. Then you can move from one corner to the opposite corner with the flick of a wrist. You still have the whole tablet to edit with but to use it like you would your mouse you can use the smaller section.

Thank you so much for sharing this video Anthony. I have been looking at getting a Wacom Tablet. I will be sure to look into getting this one.

Thank you for watching Albert!

I have a med. Wacom, maybe the smaller one would have been better... Your thoughts are usually right on the button... I bought a Tokina 100mm Macro after seeing your tutorial - that was a good move to have made... I always listen to your comments as they are aways relevant... Thanks

Thanks Anthony!

Anthony, great video and I always have enjoyed your teaching style...have learned a TON over the past couple of years - thank you! I have the same Wacom...took delivery this week in fact...have been getting up to speed...playing with various settings...question is around setting Brush Size as a programmable button. I know (on my PC) it's CTRL ] to increase and CTRL [ to decrease but I can't seem to get the Wacom to allow increase and decrease to size via scrolling around the toggle button...is there a command I'm missing? How did you program that toggle to BOTH increase and decrease?

Thanks for the explanation helpful as always. Would be good to see how you have it physically set up on your desk too. I've always struggled with where to put the tablet, to the side of my keyboard, underneath etc. I'm left handed but use the mouse in my right hand, therefore I have learnt the shortcut keys using my right hand. Obviously when using a pen though it is in my left hand meaning that I had to try to use shortcut keys on the opposite side of the keyboard, it all got very confusing so kinda gave up with the tablet. Setting up the hot keys in the tablet may well help a lot in this respect.

I am the same: left handed but use the mouse in my right hand. I keep the tablet to the left of the keyboard, with the buttons closest to the keyboard, which means you have to configure it as left handed in the control panel (otherwise the cursor moves the wrong way!). This works very well for me. I use three of the lower set of keys (of the four available - I prefer the medium sized tablet) for zoom, screen left, and screen right in Lightroom. Then in Lightroom a key press while visualising spots takes me to 100% at the top left of the image, another key press moves across the sky area (and automatically wraps round at the right edge to move down to the next part on the left), and the third key lets me reverse if I want to go back. This saves so much effort scrolling across skies manually to check for sensor dust spots. I usually use the mouse to clone out dust spots, simply because it is easier to keep it in the right place and click once, so I end up navigating across the image using the Wacom buttons with my left hand as I select and click on the dust spots with my right hand. I find this very efficient.

It would be very interesting if you could show how you manipulate fhe pen tool in the adobe photography suite, please Anthony?

you can do a large tablet and then constrain movement, just watched a video on how to do that. Very easy.

On this tablet, can you hold down the option and the command button as you've programmed it at the same time to activate brush size shortcut? I have a tablet that has a scroll wheel I use for brush size, but it is really slow, jumpy and cumbersome in Corel Painter but excellent in Photoshop. Maybe it's not cumbersome using the touch wheel on the Wacom (Mine is a cheaper brand)? I'm trying to avoid being forced to use the keyboard to adjust my brush size.

Have you used it with the object removal tool figured it would be easier to draw around and object to remove. Thanks

How can I use the full drawing portion on my tablet to control just the central portion of my desktop screen where I have to draw, for example: I would like my top left of tablet to point to the left top of this KZread video & the right top to the right top of the KZread video providing me the whole space to draw minute things in a small dimension rather than letting my tablet access the whole of my monitor screen, leaving a very less working space of the tablet( (only the central portion where I draw or as per example where the KZread video is running) as a useful portion for me. I want to use the whole working area of tablet to just control only a central portion of my monitor, nothing outside it, as if the tablet only has those dimensions of my screen to work on. Can someone help?

Sir what type of tablet us best for making vadios lectures for yoytubes

hello, do you know how I can configure my touch ring to use different functions ?, I have the wacom intuos pro small 2019, and I can not have different functions in the touch ring only once

Looks like Wacom silently removed that feature from the small sized tablet!

Hi Anthony, I have the same tablet in the 2020 version. I am trying to figure out how to hold the pencil comfortably and make adjustments with the buttons on the pencil. Are you using your index finger or thumb on the adjustment button on the pencil to make adjustments? And BTW, this has been a very helpful video for me! Thank you...

thx Anthony, I'm late to watch your tuto :-)) anyway in 2020 now, is this small Wacom different ? I mean the buttons ans their shortcuts ?

How do you turn off the annoying clicks the pen makes?

Nice video Anthony, I have an old Wacom Intuous 6" x 8" 2005 or '06 tablet. In Tablet Properties > Mapping there are options for Orientation, (Landscape or Portrait), Mode Pen & Mouse, Screen Area and Tablet area. I understand you wanting to minimize hand and wrist movement. For screen Area I have set Screen Area to [Monitor 1 ] which is a 38" ViewSonic VP3881. (Love it!) Like you, I don't want to have to 'chase' the cursor. (10.5 inches from corner to corner, on my tablet.) The tablet Area defaults to [Full ]. Click the [Portion... ] and you have three (in my case) ways to select i.e. map, the portion or area of the tablet you wish to use. I would venture a guess most all Wacom's have this feature. Give it a shot.

I have a question concerning Wacom tablets, is there a need to use one for the reasonable capable ameture? I primarily use Lightroom to process my images.

I don't even use mine for Lightroom. IMO, it's overkill. I only really use mine for Photoshop.

I can't get the wheel to work for the brush sizing. I use Corel PSP

Tony (and anyone else): Do you also use a trackpad with your Mac? If so, do you still use your Wacom tablet just as much as you would if you only had a keypad and not the trackpad?

I only use my tablet for Photoshop and when I do, I kind of use both the tablet and trackpad or mouse at the same time.

Anthony Morganti That's basically how I use mine too.

I have a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet and my problem has been using it with Lightroom. I find that when using my pen it is hard to move the sliders. I often have to try several times before it moves a slider. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I have this same problem on my system also. The only thing I do is hover over the slider you want, press the tip to the tablet, move the pen about a quarter to a half inch and that usually "unlocks" the slider for adjustment. I don't know if this is related to gpu performance or not.
