![]() ![]() I still have a lot to learn with swipes and other gestures, but for now I’m off to a flying start. Going entirely to the tablet takes a little time and practise, but just like learning a language it’s a skill I’d like to get some more fluency in. Will my mouse be gone foreover? I’m not sure. The new drivers installed perfectly and after a reboot, my Intuos was recognised, and the (still somewhat limited, but vastly improved) control panel was in System Settings.Įverything about this install was intuitive, other than for changing the nibs on the stylus, which Wacom had helpfully done a video of. ![]() I’d had mixed results backporting previously, like when I had to backport the Atheros ethernet drivers into my ASUS N76. Not even a hesistant jitter from the cursor to indicate it knew of the Intuos, and the Intuos knew of it.Īfter some reading on the Ubuntu forums, I happened across instructions for downloading, compiling and installing the latest version of the Wacom drivers, from the Linux Wacom project. So, after unpacking and installing the Intuos under Windows, I booted into Ubuntu and set to work. The good folk at BCC had warned me that I would have to use this difficult thing called the ‘command line’ when I made initial enquiries this was where I pulled out the photo of my “other” Nexus 4 running Ubuntu Touch and demonstrated this was probably within my capability! Installation under Ubuntu was a little more tricky. Getting it installed under Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander In both cases I had to reboot, but the software installed easily and immediately I was able to use it. The tablet installed beautifully under both Windows 8, my home machine, and my work laptop running Win 7 Professional. The other complication was that I had a Masters’ assignment due my wonderful work colleague T played Dad and ‘kept it safe’ for me for the week or so until the assignment was finished then my toy got released! Thanks, T □ Installation under Windows It’s just as well that it arrived after 2014, otherwise I wouldn’t have packed for conf! My tablet of choice is the Wacom Intuos Pro. The lovely folks at BCC Computers in Geelong put one on backorder (apparently they’re really popular, they kept chasing for me, which was great) and within a couple of weeks I had the device in my hot little hands. Tablets like Huion, Wacom Bamboo, Wacom Art, etc simply do not have the proper functions to grow with your skills. The Bamboo range wasn’t function enough for what I wanted, so opted for the mid-range Intuos Pro model, the PTH-651. In determining which model to buy, Wacom was really the only choice – they are the undisputed market leader in this space. As a hobbyist graphic designer and photographer, it was an area I was keen to develop skills in. Go to the Inkspace Home Page, and your saved drawing will be there.As a present to myself for getting a high distinction while studying my IT Masters, I decided to get a reasonable graphics tablet. Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable or work wirelessly using a Bluetooth. Interact with your device by using the Pro Pen 2, or by touching the device surface directly to design and edit artwork, photos, and videos. The drawing WILL NOT appear onscreen before the button is pressed. Your Wacom Intuos Pro S gives you many different ways to express yourself creatively and to work the way you want. To finish a drawing, press the button with the blue cross, to save the picture. If the cross does not turn blue, check that the Inkspace app is on, and that the pen sensitivity settings are properly calibrated.Ħ. This means the Inkspace app is registering your drawing. Once you touch the pen to the surface of the paper, the green cross will turn blue. Look for the green cross on the circular button to indicate that the Tablet has switched to Paper Pro mode.ĥ. DO NOT use on the wacom surface without paper, or you will severely damage the tablet.Ĥ. When the pen is uncapped, you will be able to use the Inkspace app to draw with the pen. NOTE: Make sure that the piece of paper is only as large as the tablet surface, or not all of your drawing will transfer over.ģ. ![]() Clip a piece of paper to the paper clipper, over the surface of the Wacom Tablet. Attach the Paper Clipper to the Wacom Tablet carefully.Ģ. ![]() Install Inkspace from Wacom's website here, and follow onscreen directions before setting up the Paper Pro.ġ.
