Have you just received a new Wacom tablet, set it up, and are scratching your head over how to start making your work come alive on your computer?
Fear not! Read this tutorial through, and you'll begin learning the ropes real quick to making your thoughts come alive!

This tutorial does not contain information specific to the Intuos 4 or Bamboo tablets [as I myself have not personally used them yet,] but the information supplied here is still applicable to those tablets. While the "Setup" guide is more targeted to the Intuos 3, think about how those recommended configurations can be applied to the Intuos 4 layout!

thanks bunches for this tutorial

I feel a bit of an idiot for asking this but here goes: is Photoshop included with Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch? I'm prettry sure it does but I'm not sure how to set up the software, maybe I missed a step. Better check the box contents again... And I can't ask anyone in the family for help since they don't deal with computers.

I think it does! Go check out wacoms official page, the search for the tablets and there you should find it.
Actually, since I feel kind today, I'll do that for you:

There! I'm planning on buying a tablet, so I did allot of investigation and comparassion of products, so if you have a tight budget, I recomend Bamboo, they have good quality and are really affordable, but if you can really pay for something expensive, go get an intuos, but if really have allot of money go get a cintiq xD
I'm getting a Bamboo capture

Have a nice day.

Thank you. Mind you, I need to exchange my Pen and Touch due to certain reasons. I think I should have got the Bamboo Fun in the first place though, that has better art applications anyway.

Hey, very good tutorial!
But I was wondering one thing... well, how much difference does a good tablet actually make?
At the moment I am using a very, very, old Wacom Volito I got from my dad, and he suggested that getting a better tablet might help me create the art I have in mind. Since, however it works a lot better than using the mouse, it still doesn't feel good or natural to me...
If this DOES matter, what would you suggest? I am not quite rich or something (duh, I am only a teen, I don't even work yet...), so I probably could never get the money for a Cintiq... but I am thinking about a Bamboo, and eventually a Intuos3/4 (4 is the newest, if I remember correctly...)

But does it make a lot of difference to have a good tablet? I'd love to hear your opinion on this, especially since even a "cheap" Wacom Bamboo is rather expensive for someone with my amount of money. (tough I don't have to pay electricity, bills that sort of stuff... yay!

)
