Love Your Tablet with Celia Henderson

Learn to Love Your Tablet: Set Up a Wacom & Master Photoshop Brush Pressure, Tilt, and Shortcuts FULL SESSION HERE: https://www.camversation.co.uk/produc... In this session, the presenter explains how using a pen and tablet can improve Photoshop brush control compared with a mouse, then walks through setting up a Wacom Intuos Pro Small, including choosing models, installing drivers, configuring pen pressure, customizing pen buttons and the eraser with keyboard shortcuts, mapping the tablet to a specific monitor with Force Proportions, and using touch gestures. They demonstrate configuring application-specific settings, express keys, the touch ring, and on-screen shortcuts for common brush tasks like resizing and toggling colors. In Photoshop, they show how pen pressure can control brush size and opacity via brush settings and toolbar toggles, how dodge and burn use exposure jitter with pressure, how pen tilt affects bristle and foliage brushes, how color dynamics can blend foreground and background colors based on pressure, and how smudge/blender brushes use strength jitter for subtle blending. 00:00 Welcome and Goals 01:10 Choosing the Right Tablet 03:26 Drivers and Setup Basics 05:37 Pen Pressure and Mapping 08:58 Live Wacom App Tour 13:15 Pen Buttons and Shortcuts 18:48 ExpressKeys and Touch Ring 21:50 On Screen Shortcuts 25:00 Photoshop Brush Pressure 32:53 Opacity and Transfer Control 35:47 Dodge and Burn with Pressure 38:27 Tilt and Bristle Brushes 41:45 Color Dynamics Magic 44:46 Smudge and Blender Brushes 49:06 Wrap Up and Key Takeaways
