@Billmorganmedia-pixمنذ 6 سنوات Aaron, I've been watching on occasion for the past mmmm. five-or-so years. I'm a professional photographer (and reluctant videographer) out here id="hidden2" class="buttons"> in Connecticut, and just want to thank you for your creativity, knowledge, humor, and most of all - your generosity. Great teachers are few and far between, and Phlearn, in my humble opinion is one of the most worthy YouTube channels around. Keep up the great work, and one more thanks for showing me a few things about the Wacom tab (that I've been using for years) that either I never knew about, or thought of doing in different manner. All the best! ....وسعت 48

@leedonehower3112منذ 3 سنوات I got mine two months ago and it has been sitting on a shelf unused until I watched this video! All the button settings and my limited ability to memorize id="hidden3" class="buttons"> them gave me a brain freeze. You simplified the whole learning process: TURN ALL THE BUTTONS OFF and use the mouse & keyboard to change settings, tools, magnification, etc. All of that can be added back in later once you become used to working with the stylus. Result: I was able to colorize an old B/W image in half the time (perhaps even a quarter?) with the ability to get into tight spaces with the stylus vs trying to do so with a mouse. THANK YOU! ....وسعت 4

@michellewebster3611منذ 2 سنوات Thank you! I just got my first Wacom. The learning curve is small, so it will be no time before I am fully immersed. Shrinking down the live working space id="hidden4" class="buttons"> was huge. But. the brush and zoom shortcuts are game changers for me. You have changed my life! :) I appreciate you and this channel! ....وسعت 3

@steveboring5186منذ 2 سنوات I'm on my way today to buy a Wacom tablet all because of your Great video presentation. I noticed the comment right below me about you being one of id="hidden5" class="buttons"> the most worthy YouTube channels around, and I thoroughly believe that. You've made me a subscriber even though I don't use Photoshop. I'm starting a photography business with real estate now that I'm retired, because frankly, I'm bored to tears and could use the extra money. You prove to me that a tablet is the way to go for speeding up the process of working on the photographs for the client. Many thanks! ....وسعت

@osamaexkingمنذ 6 سنوات I can't thank you enough for this video, i have bought a Wacom tablet from Amazon many months ago, but i found it to be extremely difficult to learn, id="hidden7" class="buttons"> i didn't know that i can download a driver and adjust the setting so that i only use a small portion of it, i had to move my hand from one side of the tablet to the other just to click somewhere, it was so awkward, but now i learnt that this option exists, thanks so much. ....وسعت 10

@mhc2bمنذ 6 سنوات Thank you for this very informative tutorial. I have a medium tablet that I barely use simply because I'm not familiar with it. This video will certainly id="hidden11" class="buttons"> help me setting it up. I really like your "idea" of turning off everything else on the tablet, and simply using the keyboard in those areas.
However, I can certainly attest to a better way to make the mouse or track pad smoother with your dodging & burning: Simply use a much lower Flow. I set my Flow to no more than 3, 4, or 5%. This allows you to "build up" the ink density very slowly, which, in turn, allows you more control. That said, I can certainly see where mastering the tablet will allow even more control. ....وسعت 4

@johnsanders6307منذ 6 سنوات I’m left handed & I also don’t always have a large desk traveling so I occasionally need to use my Wacom in my lap. The buttons on the side work great for it. I use the scroll wheel for rotate & brush size, the other buttons for Brush, Clone, Healing tool & X (to switch colors). His settings are great but you can add to them✌ ....وسعت 10

@carlmcneill1139منذ 4 سنوات I just bought the medium the other day. I downloaded the drivers and got it registered. Now I just need to get it set up. This video was very useful. I id="hidden15" class="buttons"> can't wait to start using it. I've been learning how to blend exposures this year. I bought Lumenzia just for that. I noticed that most of the photographers on YouTube were using a tablet. The fact that you have pressure sensitivity makes the tablet very valuable as a tool. Dodging and burning should be a lot easier with this. ....وسعت

@cyberwasteمنذ 4 سنوات Fantastic tips. Just ordered my first Wacom tablet to help with photo editing. I would have liked to see more setup information about the shortcut buttons id="hidden17" class="buttons"> and wheel on the tablet rather than them simply being disabled because that's what you do. I've learned a lot from this video though and will explore the things I still have questions about once my tablet arrives this afternoon. ....وسعت 3

@

@edwnx0منذ 6 سنوات if you use multiple screens, i recommend setting a button on the tablet to change which screen is focused. this is especially useful if you have an Apple id="hidden21" class="buttons"> Magic Mouse that needs charging.
also, when dodging and burning with a mouse, set the flow to around 5%. lower the opacity if it's still too much. ....وسعت 62

@thomastuorto9929منذ 3 سنوات Great vid & I know you know , lower opacity & full flow, = more strokes over the same area = more pen pressure. But you get the point across.

I had a small bamboo tablet (I don't know what kind) that I got years ago but I never used it really. I don't know if it was buggy but it never worked right for me. Maybe I just never got it set up right. It was just too small for me to use anyway but this current one works great for me.
