00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,050
- Wacom has several options available,
2
00:00:02,050 --> 00:00:04,000
from the entry level Bamboo
3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,030
to the large HD screen Cintiq.
4
00:00:06,030 --> 00:00:07,060
For this series, I will be using
5
00:00:07,060 --> 00:00:09,070
a Wacom Intuous Touch Pro.
6
00:00:09,070 --> 00:00:11,020
This happens to be the medium size,
7
00:00:11,020 --> 00:00:14,000
and I find that this size works well for my use.
8
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,020
First, let's take a look at the different parts
9
00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:17,090
of the Wacom tablet.
10
00:00:17,090 --> 00:00:20,000
Depending on which tablet you're using,
11
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,040
you're going to either be using a wired
12
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,070
or a wireless and battery connection.
13
00:00:23,070 --> 00:00:26,060
You'll find these connections on the side of your tablet.
14
00:00:26,060 --> 00:00:28,020
Refer to your tablet instructions
15
00:00:28,020 --> 00:00:31,050
to connect your Wacom tablet to your computer.
16
00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:33,030
This is the surface of my tablet.
17
00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:34,080
Note that there are illuminated corners
18
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,050
indicating the active area of my tablet.
19
00:00:37,050 --> 00:00:40,000
On my Intuous Pro, it also has
20
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,070
a multi-touch surface that I can use
21
00:00:41,070 --> 00:00:46,000
with my hand or my pen, depending on my workflow.
22
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,070
On my tablet, my panel is set up on the left.
23
00:00:48,070 --> 00:00:50,050
Here we have a series of eight buttons
24
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:52,010
called ExpressKeys.
25
00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:55,000
Dividing the ExpressKeys is the Touch Ring.
26
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,060
These buttons give you quick access
27
00:00:56,060 --> 00:00:58,000
to different software shortcuts
28
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,070
and really extend the usefulness of your tablet
29
00:01:00,070 --> 00:01:03,010
besides just a drawing surface.
30
00:01:03,010 --> 00:01:04,020
I'll show you how to customize
31
00:01:04,020 --> 00:01:05,080
these different options in the chapter
32
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,090
Customizing Your Wacom Tablet.
33
00:01:07,090 --> 00:01:09,020
Join me in the next movie
34
00:01:09,020 --> 00:01:10,070
where we'll take a look at your Grip Pen
35
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:12,020
and how to change your nibs.
