Photoshop Tutorial: Using a Drawing Pad -HD-

[M13allack]

can I use the pen to make selections ?

[sonicXmanic]

i just got the same thing today. It wont let me install the Bamboo Dock :(

Did u have that problem? 

[ThePanduhStudioz]

@sonicXmanic Yea, if you get these error thingies it's most propably because your service pack is outdated (I had win xp SP2 and it needed SP3) or you just have a shitty cd drive. Just update your windows and it should be fine. *I just realised that the comment is 1 month old*

Do you have to pay for Photoshop on the tab??

[kylorix]

@EzZHD yes...^^

[srall4234]

I have been using a tablet to Draw and It always goes fatter Even when using Low Pressure How will I Fix this? I am using a wacom Intuos 4 Tablet. Any ideas? I have the correct Drivers installed and the Same settings on Photoshop as you

[MagicofManga]

Which version of photoshop do you use? Can I also take Photoshop Elements 8? Please answer fast:)

ive bought the same exact thing about a month ago and i kick ass :D

This is sorta confusing im new to this and want one really bad, when you said the pen becomes the mouse, how does it know when to draw and when to just move around and click?

[RiverCityGraphix]

@partymidnight By hovering over the drawing pad you are able to move the mouse. When you actually touch the pen to the drawing pad it acts as a click or drag.

[ReneexBlue]

Wow. This helped me so much :) I just started drawing in Photoshop and only found out about these today. Thank you so much!

[Ahamster1]

hey i need help! my bamboo tablet is able to be calibrated to the entire screen of my desktop. However after opening photoshop the tablet is only relegated to the top right hand corner. Is there anyway to make it able to touch the entire screen while using photoshop? thankyou

[marklethanarkle]

[ChibiNCake]

[kordaling]

[senseiwez]

Thanks for this tutorial

[MrVadxv]

Thanks for the tutorial, this was useful.

[chellex89]

one question, i notice that some people when they draw they have a like a pointer that shows up when do you a sketch or how ever you draw. because when i use a brush or pencil too, i cant see the pointer or dot. i think its like a small pen shape pointer when you draw on a canvas. i hope i dont sound confusing

[MrGalactoseify]

@chellex89 try pressing capslock while in the photoshop,... this might help you see the cursor or pointer of the brush or pen..

[vinny619boy]

Jut got the tablet, and installed it. So you basically use it on any pogram? like paint and photoshop? And btw, it's hard for me to draw on it, really difficult atm, will it become easier by practice?

[lamyari]

for some reason i can't do the pen pressure part .. lol no matter how hard or light i press its still the same ><

[Anihihi]

Thanks, that was helpful xD I'm more familiar with Paint Tool SAI because Photoshop looks scary to me xD But this helped to clear some things up xD Have I already thanked you ? xD

[1StrangeDisease]

Are you using the pen to move the cursor around? I have never used a tablet before, so I'm pretty clueless on how to use it...

[RiverCityGraphix]

@1StrangeDisease Yes, basically. The pen becomes your mouse and allows you to draw much more effectively.

[Musky34]

What Photoshop do u use?

[lizlongwell]

I posted this question in another video, but I think here it is where I should ask, if I were to buy a drawing pad, which one do you recommend? I have a very small budget (<$100) and I am clueless about what I need to look for.

[RiverCityGraphix]

@lizlongwell It really depends what you will be using it for and how much. I would suggest looking at the Wacom website to see what you think you will need based on the features it lists.

[5KindsOfToast]

@lizlongwell wacom bamboo 70$

[shadowsniper1009]

i want the cintiq21 because its a tablet with the screen right one it ill probaly get it for my birthday but thats in 4 months :(
