Wacom Tech Tip

Just a reminder/tip.

Wacom has a built in sensitivity adjuster which can enhance the response you get from your programs.

It is found in the wacom properties. In the pen setting. Under 'tip feel'. With a scale of soft to firm (inb4: dick jokes).

If you are heavy handed and find that you generally have a tough time getting tapered ends. Move it more towards firm. It balances things out to make requiring more pressure the norm.

If you are light handed (like me) move more toward soft. You will require less pressure to get the maximum paint/effect out of your brush.

You may have to try each setting between 'normal' and firm or soft to see which preset works best.

if you're a nerd (<3). You can actually use the custom option to set it yourself.
I personally can't figure that shit out. But the presets work well enough for me.

I was reminded of this today when i was like 'i know how to need less pressure'.
It also turned out the last person i let doodle on my setup move it to firm so no wonder I was over living #thestruggle. Hopefully this helps relieve stress on my hands and I can achieve goals that were before made much more difficult than need be.

Best of luck.

NOTE: I'm currently only aware of this working on wacom tablets. I believe it works with all models but clearly you can CHECK YOUR OWN PROPERTIES to see. I also really don't care if 'well this sucks cause i'm only a traditional artist' then WHY ARE YOU COMMENTING???? You'd think that's common sense. But nope.
