1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,160
after winning talk about the principles
of pen input what we mean by that
2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,189
well the easiest way to understand how a
pen works is to draw some comparison to
3
00:00:08,189 --> 00:00:12,940
a mouse so let me put the spin down for
a moment and let's grab this pen stand
4
00:00:12,940 --> 00:00:16,699
and treated like a mouse so let's say
for example you wanted to move your
5
00:00:16,699 --> 00:00:21,340
cursor into the upper left hand corner
of your display with a mouse what you
6
00:00:21,340 --> 00:00:25,650
might do is screwed it a little bit to
get that Khurshid ago exactly where I
7
00:00:25,650 --> 00:00:29,539
wanted to go well when you're using a
pen it works a little bit differently
8
00:00:29,539 --> 00:00:33,710
than how it works in what we call
absolute mode meaning wherever I put my
9
00:00:33,710 --> 00:00:37,910
pen tip on the tablet is exactly where
my cursor is going to appear on the
10
00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:42,620
screen so for example if I were to hover
my pen above the tablet by about a
11
00:00:42,620 --> 00:00:47,450
quarter interests oh my cursor begins to
move now as I move my pent up into the
12
00:00:47,450 --> 00:00:52,070
upper left hand corner of the tablet so
too is my cursor going to appear in the
13
00:00:52,070 --> 00:00:56,649
upper left-hand corner of my display
similarly if I would have picked my
14
00:00:56,649 --> 00:01:00,579
pent-up place it in the lower right-hand
corner of the tablet my cursor
15
00:01:00,579 --> 00:01:04,809
immediately jumps to that lower right
hand corner of my display this is that
16
00:01:04,809 --> 00:01:08,770
absolute mode that I was talking about
the active area on your tablet
17
00:01:08,770 --> 00:01:13,850
essentially maps proportionally to your
display so when you're using a pen it's
18
00:01:13,850 --> 00:01:18,869
not so much a learning experience as it
is a on learning experience what you
19
00:01:18,869 --> 00:01:22,939
want to do is you don't want to use your
pen like you do a mouse you want to
20
00:01:22,939 --> 00:01:26,170
think of it more like a pencil and using
it on a piece of paper
21
00:01:26,170 --> 00:01:30,869
simply put your pen on the tablet where
you want your cursor to appear alright
22
00:01:30,869 --> 00:01:35,100
so with a simple understanding kind of
this relative vs absolute mode I want to
23
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:39,420
show you some fundamentals as to how you
would hold the pen and i know that kinda
24
00:01:39,420 --> 00:01:43,869
sounds funny but if you've never used a
pent out before you wanna hold the pen
25
00:01:43,869 --> 00:01:48,640
just like you would a ballpoint pen you
wanna take the pen right in between your
26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,790
index finger and your thumb perhaps this
is a better view
27
00:01:51,790 --> 00:01:56,969
holding the pan with the button on the
side by in between your index finger in
28
00:01:56,969 --> 00:02:01,409
your thumb you want to rest your hand on
the tablet and you want to keep your
29
00:02:01,409 --> 00:02:05,490
cursor or skinny the pen tip above the
tablet by about a quarter of an inch
30
00:02:05,490 --> 00:02:10,989
when you do so your cursor will a big
will begin to move I'm not touching my
31
00:02:10,989 --> 00:02:11,840
pen to the top
32
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,080
rather I'm hovering above it now when I
want you navigate to the area that I
33
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,099
wanna get to you I'm still hovering my
pen above the tablet it's not until I
34
00:02:20,099 --> 00:02:24,599
want to select something or start
painting or drawing by then touch my pen
35
00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:28,750
tip to the tablet so what do we do this
let me let me minimize Photoshop for a
36
00:02:28,750 --> 00:02:32,310
moment let's just take a look at our
desktop and minimize a few of these
37
00:02:32,310 --> 00:02:36,690
other things here you'll notice for
example I have this this driver
38
00:02:36,690 --> 00:02:41,810
installer called walking around my
desktop if I wanted to selected I would
39
00:02:41,810 --> 00:02:45,890
move my pen when hovering at about a
quarter of an inch above the tablet when
40
00:02:45,890 --> 00:02:50,760
I get my cursor above the Wacom tablet
icon I would tap on it to selected if I
41
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:56,079
wanted to move that icon or folder or
drive as a maybe I'm going to tap hold
42
00:02:56,079 --> 00:02:59,910
my pen to the tablet and then dragged
across to the point at which I want to
43
00:02:59,910 --> 00:03:03,510
release it and then I'm going to pick up
my pen so again if you want to select
44
00:03:03,510 --> 00:03:08,940
something you tap hole down move your
pet across the tablet and pick up to
45
00:03:08,940 --> 00:03:13,700
release a really easy way to think about
this pen tip is to think about it like a
46
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:18,450
left mouse button so again for Prickett
once you're selecting something if you
47
00:03:18,450 --> 00:03:23,329
were to you click and hold down that
Biden you're holding onto it and if you
48
00:03:23,329 --> 00:03:26,709
want to release it you would release
your finger from that mouse but that is
49
00:03:26,709 --> 00:03:31,299
the same way that you're going to use or
treat the pen tip so if I want to open
50
00:03:31,299 --> 00:03:37,319
that folder I would selected or I would
double tap on it then open it up so
51
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:41,540
again if you think about the pen tip
like a left mouse button is gonna come
52
00:03:41,540 --> 00:03:47,440
natural to you alright so let's kind of
review some of those principles of pen
53
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,470
input if you well the pen is similar to
a mouse in it you can move your cursor
54
00:03:51,470 --> 00:03:54,780
on the screen with it but it works a
little bit differently it works in
55
00:03:54,780 --> 00:04:01,359
absolute mode vs relative mode so place
your pen on the tablet cover above it
56
00:04:01,359 --> 00:04:04,579
about a quarter of an inch and that's
where your cursor will appear on your
57
00:04:04,579 --> 00:04:09,569
screen to navigate with that you simply
move your pen across the tablet hovering
58
00:04:09,569 --> 00:04:13,400
I should say to you get to the point at
which you want to select something and
59
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,479
then you would tap on it to selected or
you would double tap on whatever your
60
00:04:17,479 --> 00:04:23,060
opening to open it or you would tap
holder pen to the tablet and dragging
61
00:04:23,060 --> 00:04:25,040
the element or object around
62
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,590
to move it so very similar to a mouse in
a you can move your cursor around but
63
00:04:30,590 --> 00:04:34,700
again just simply getting over the habit
of that pickup and scooting function is
64
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:38,960
really the learning curve and once you
get used to using the pen like a plan
65
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,740
it's gonna be really natural for you
