Setting up your graphics tablet the right way.</p> <p>While many devices come with a plug-and-play feature and seem to work as soon as you plug them in, for graphics tablets, that’s not the whole story.</p> <p>Truth be told, you might be able to use the pen, but the full functionality of your tablet isn’t unlocked until you install and configure the necessary software. Make sure to install all relevant drivers for your tablet, and if it comes with a software suite, explore all the options to optimize it to your liking.</p> <p>Your tablet might seem fully functional without any software, but trust me: If you don’t want to miss out on any features, installing the provided software is crucial.</p> <p>Over time, your preferences may evolve. If you feel that something could be improved, dive back into the software settings.

A smart approach is to reflect on your usual <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/digital-photo-editing-workflow-better-images-capture-output/" target="_blank" aria-label="photo-editing workflow (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">photo-editing workflow</a>.

Be sure to memorize any keyboard shortcuts that are relevant to you.</figcaption></figure></div> <p>Even when you have a graphics tablet at your disposal, the keyboard remains a crucial partner in crime, especially when you want to speed up your workflow with <a aria-label="quick keyboard shortcuts (opens in a new tab)" href="https://digital-photography-school.com/photoshop-shortcut-commands/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">quick keyboard shortcuts</a>. Make it a point to read through each and every shortcut offered by your <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/best-photo-editing-software/" target="_blank" aria-label="favorite editing program (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">favorite editing program</a>, write down the most useful ones, and ideally commit them to memory.</p> <p>You might be wondering: If you have a graphics tablet for photo editing that features a handful of programmable buttons, why are keyboard shortcuts necessary at all?</p> <p>Whether you work in the world of Lightroom, Photoshop, or other editing software, there’s such a rich array of features that it’s impossible to map all their functionality onto a few buttons. This is why it’s worth your while to program a few buttons, then spend time learning as many keyboard shortcuts as you can – particularly the ones that align with your usual editing workflow.</p> <p>Admittedly, using a stylus in one hand and tapping keyboard shortcuts with the other might seem a little odd to begin with. But go ahead and persevere; you’ll soon find that it’s not as daunting as it first appears.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="understand-the-magic-of-undo">4. Understand the magic of “undo”</h2> <p>Among all the keyboard shortcuts at your disposal, there’s one you likely lean on more than any other. That’s the “undo” function, which reverses your last action and can be accessed by hitting Ctrl+z (or Cmd+z)</p> <p>A pen enables you to make precise strokes, but just like sketching, not every stroke will turn out exactly as you want on the first go. There’s absolutely no harm in hitting “undo” repeatedly until you achieve the result you’re after. So get familiar with the Ctrl+z (or Cmd+z) and Ctrl+Alt+z (or Cmd+Alt+z) shortcuts.</p> <p>If it makes your life easier, you could even set up this function as a shortcut button on your tablet.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="customize-your-brush-settings">5. Customize your brush settings</h2> <p>When you bring a graphics tablet into your photo editing journey, you also unlock some nifty features in Photoshop that were previously off-limits.</p> <div class="pb-ads pb-ads-ruleset-ad pb-ads-all"><div data-fuse="21770308876"></div></div><p>The <a aria-label="brush settings (opens in a new tab)" href="https://digital-photography-school.com/5-things-to-know-about-photoshop-brushes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">brush settings</a> – and more specifically, the pen pressure settings – are arguably the most impactful of these. By activating these, you gain the ability to control the brush pressure simply by varying how hard you press down on the tablet.</p> <p>For instance, if you have the “Always Use Pressure for Size” option selected, your brush size will vary in accordance with the force you apply with the pen.</p> <p>If you’re using the opacity option, a light touch will result in a low-opacity brush stroke. Activate both settings, and the effects become compounded.</p> <p>Mastering the pressure settings is, in my opinion, one of the most powerful advantages of using a graphics tablet for photo editing. In fact, in isolation, these settings provide a compelling case for using a tablet if you’re still unsure. My advice? Get well-acquainted with these settings – they will shape your graphics tablet editing experience.</p> <div class="wp-block-image wp-image-187201 size-full is-style-with-caption"> <figure class="aligncenter"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-187201" style="width:1500px"><span class="space" style="width:1500px; padding-top:62.53%"></span><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1500" height="938" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-tablets-pressure-settings-1.jpg?resize=1500%2C938&ssl=1" alt="How to Use a Graphics Tablet to Edit Photos: 10 Powerful Tips" class="wp-image-187201" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-tablets-pressure-settings-1.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-tablets-pressure-settings-1.jpg?resize=300%2C188&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-tablets-pressure-settings-1.jpg?resize=600%2C375&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-tablets-pressure-settings-1.jpg?resize=768%2C480&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-tablets-pressure-settings-1.jpg?resize=717%2C448&ssl=1 717w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px"></span><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Taking control of the pressure settings is one of the most powerful aspects of using a graphics tablet for photo editing.</figcaption></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="try-tilting-brushes">6. Try tilting brushes</h2> <p>Don’t be surprised if you find yourself rarely using tilt-sensitive brushes for photo retouching. But, hey, they’re there, so why not get acquainted with them? You don’t want to accidentally stumble onto these tools and suspect a malfunction in your tablet.</p> <p>A charcoal pencil brush, for instance, reacts based on how you position your pen. All the lines you see below were crafted simply by altering the pen’s hold, all while keeping the pressure settings at zero:</p> <div class="wp-block-image wp-image-187200 size-full is-style-default"> <figure class="aligncenter"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-187200" style="width:1500px"><span class="space" style="width:1500px; padding-top:62.53%"></span><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1500" height="938" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-tilting-brushes-settings-1.jpg?resize=1500%2C938&ssl=1" alt="Using a graphics tablet unlocks features in Photoshop that are otherwise unavailable." class="wp-image-187200" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-tilting-brushes-settings-1.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-tilting-brushes-settings-1.jpg?resize=300%2C188&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-tilting-brushes-settings-1.jpg?resize=600%2C375&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-tilting-brushes-settings-1.jpg?resize=768%2C480&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-tilting-brushes-settings-1.jpg?resize=717%2C448&ssl=1 717w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px"></span></figure></div> <p>In other words, these tilt-sensitive brushes change their shape and texture based on your pen hold, mimicking how an artist varies their brush or pencil strokes. It’s a playful feature to experiment with. If you manage to incorporate it into your photo editing process, well, that’s quite a bonus!</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="explore-digital-art-tutorials">7. Explore digital art tutorials</h2> <p>Using a graphics tablet for retouching can feel both intuitive and bafflingly counterintuitive. If you have some art experience, you’ll likely find it easier to adapt. But if you’re like me – with zero art background – do yourself a favor and spend some time watching digital painting tutorials.</p> <p>The most beneficial types of tutorials to seek out include:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Drawing lines:</strong> These exercises are about mastering control over your stylus and familiarizing yourself with your tablet’s pressure sensitivity.

Practice with your graphics tablet stylus</h2> <p>You’ve watched the tutorials. Great! Now, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty.</p> <p>Set up a blank canvas and work on those brush strokes using different pressure settings. This is the key to mastering your tablet quickly.</p> <p>Similarly, it’s essential that you practice blending values, especially if you plan to incorporate certain retouching techniques into your workflow. Practice relentlessly, both within and beyond the scope of retouching.</p> <p>Bottom line: Don’t stop at watching the tutorials. Practice fervently, and make it a point to revisit these exercises periodically. Regular practice is your golden ticket to becoming proficient with your tablet.</p> <div class="pb-ads pb-ads-ruleset-ad pb-ads-all"><div data-fuse="21770337363"></div></div><div class="wp-block-image wp-image-187198 size-full is-style-with-caption"> <figure class="aligncenter"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-187198" style="width:1500px"><span class="space" style="width:1500px; padding-top:66.67%"></span><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1500" height="1000" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-practice-more-1.jpg?resize=1500%2C1000&ssl=1" alt="Practice using a graphics tablet as often as possible." class="wp-image-187198" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-practice-more-1.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-practice-more-1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-practice-more-1.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-practice-more-1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-practice-more-1.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tips-for-using-graphics-practice-more-1.jpg?resize=717%2C478&ssl=1 717w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px"></span><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Don’t just follow the tutorials once.
