Honestly, I fell into that thinking, and still do occasionally.īut a regular keyboard and a quality mouse is all I use, now that I'm fairly expert and second nature, in "my" use of Lightroom. Some of us are eternally searching for the super, custom hardware, that will make the difference. I use those all the time so, no memorization necessary! Now, since I usually only use mouse and regular keyboard, I use the keyboard's spacebar, alt key control, shift, "O" button, and Ctrl+Z. One wrong press, and you're undoing, or changing something you didn't mean to do! you can change everything you can think of, but you need to memorize all the buttons! I used a G-13 gaming mini keyboard mainly to assign common combined key-presses like keys with shift or alt included.īut also, any thing you want, like taking away the side panels in Lr. It all sounds super, but those mouse buttons are small and close together. It asks you what key presses you want to use, then what button on the mouse you want to assign those key presses to. There is an included popup menu that is easy to use. Turns out, I just use it for that, and the high quality mouse wheel. That isn't my post, but I chose the Logitech G602.Īny upgraded mouse, especially gaming mice, are super accurate, and pinpoint precise. The only time I use pen is for digital painting/drawing where I want to emulate a tool and medium. Programmable for any application function and comes with plenty of pre-programmed settings for most popular programs to get you started, and it can script actions too, if I have actions I want to repeat. So my gaming mouse (Rocat Kone XTD) is completely customized for LR and PS, enables those profiles when I switch to either, switches back to my default when not using either. Per application function swithcing, so in LR I have the mouse programmed one way, in PS, another.profiles for each application, auto-swithces. Shift (a button) plus button action, completely assignable. Assign funtions to Scroll Wheel - increase brush size, increase brush hardness Programmable actions (as in shortcut equivalents) for buttons (like forward and backward history steps in PS/LR) Programmable variable mouse-tracking speed for 1-click finer motion/movement when retouching (300dpi), or faster when panning/reviewing(2000dpi) or anythine else I want in 2-5 steps. And got used to it.īut the day came, when I honestly realized for me, these tablets are not using the programing designed specifically for a mouse wheel, that's already integral to Lightroom. I even reassigned the screen size to a smaller piece of tablet real estate. I also totally understand how a tablet and a mouse are different in their coverage of the screen area. I understand you need to get rid of your mouse, in order to finally prefer the tablet, which I was willing to do. If the rocker switch on the pen were a wheel, that would help, but it's not exact, or steady precise!Īlso the mouse is steady and when still, is a semi stable platform to adjust the wheel with no need to hold absolutely still. If erasing is involved, A hand on the pen, one finger to resize, and a finger on ALT or assigned alt key on tablet. In gradient brush erase overlay mode etc.ģ.Resizing on the fly clone and heal brush.Īll these king of actions would take at least 2 hands to produce using the Intuos Pro.Ī hand on the pen, and one on the tablet, to resize. So, after purchasing and using the Pro model for every purpose a mouse would be used for a few weeks, I still couldn't find a way to easily replace the simplicity of the mouse wheel.įor: 1.) Simply clicking on an adjustment slider, then using the mouse wheel to adjust back and forth to the desired degree.Ģ.) Resizing on the fly, the erase and feather/ feature when "painting" and shaping an adjustment area. So, I figured the Intuos Pro model would fulfill this because it had more programmable buttons and the beguiling radial selector, which held great promise. Neither could I emulate the mouse wheel to move the adjustment sliders incrementally. There was no way I could emulate the ease of using the wheel on a mouse to immediately resize the adjustment brush and feather feature on the fly, while alternating between normal, and the erase key (alt). I started with a Pen and Touch small model. ![]() Yet, the use of a tablet by many pro photoshop and other computer media producers, made me want to learn to use one also. 1st off, I have used a high end, precision mouse for many years.
