Bamboo Touch with Illustrator CS4

Just fired up Illustrator with my new $70 Bamboo Touch. Wow. Completely changed my navigational workflow. Ama-za-zing. Would have paid double. btw near the end, keyboard = touchpad, sorry! Right hand on the mouse, left hand on the touchpad = navigation + tool usage without having to remember keyboard shortcuts or look at the keyboard for weird keyboard combos - huzzah! :D

Thanks For The Video! I Just Ordered A Bamboo Pen And Touch, I Bought It For £75 Which is About $120. Hopefully Will Arrive Soon. =D. Could You Please Do A Small Video Showing The "Bamboo Dock" As Im Not 100% What It Is. Thanks

@MitchAndBrunie I have no idea what a Bamboo Dock is. But I do know what a Bamboo Duck is. But that's for me to know and you to QUACK!

hey, how about that super-easy - hold down the space bar and you can move ur canvas with the mouse; hold down the alt key and scroll for zooming. that should be even faster:P

[leopardsoup]

@tommykn0cker Yeah, that sounds great - using two hands to do something one hand can do. Genius. Productivity is for losers!!

hmm i think its quicker to use the shortcut keys on the keyboard to toggle between tools,

just buying the touch version of the bamboo is pointless, get it with the pen, thats the point of the tablet

Why would you get a touch without the pen? lol. You pretty much paid 70$ to zoom easier lol.

Did you do anything special for the touch gestures to work with Illustrator CS4? I bought the Pen and Touch based on this video, but the mouse gestures don't work for me. Is that because I'm on a PC? (Win7 Home x64), or is there something I need to do with the tablet or Illustrator CS4 to get the touch gestures to register?
