In this video we'll take a quick tour of the Wacom Control Panel so you know where everything is.

If you have never used a pen and tablet before, it may feel awkward at first. Don't worry, this video will take you through all of the difficulties and get you comfortable.

This lesson deals with the basic settings of the Grip Pen. You will learn how to change the laterality of the pen if you are left-handed.

This video looks at the different nibs provided in your pen holder, as well as the colored rings that you can use to identify pens if you have several of them.

In this tutorial you'll learn about the pressure sensitivity of the pen and how you can adjust its settings to suit the way you work in Photoshop.

In this video you'll see how to use the Wacom Control Panel to fine-tune the click threshold and adjust tilt sensitivity to work with the new Art Pen.

In this video you will see how to set the functions on the side switches individually. You'll see how these switches can be changed to work as a modifier keystroke, a hold key, or a multitude of other functions.

At the top of your pen is the eraser, which also has pressure sensitivity. In this video you'll see how this button maps directly to the Eraser tool in Photoshop. If you prefer you can also assign this button a custom function in the Wacom Control Panel.

Although it is constructed like a classic marker, the Art Pen is not only tilt- and pressure-sensitive, but also capable of rotation sensitivity. In this tutorial you'll learn how it works and how to use this feature in Photoshop.

In this lesson you'll get to know the Airbrush and see how you can adjust its settings in Photoshop. You'll also see why the Stylus and Touch Ring are particularly useful with the Airbrush.

In this lesson you'll get to know the Airbrush and see how you can adjust its settings in Photoshop. You'll also see why the Stylus and Touch Ring are particularly useful with the Airbrush.

In this video you'll learn about the other pens available for you to use with your tablet, including the Classic Pen, the Intuos4 Ink Pen, and the Ballpoint Pen.

In this lesson you'll learn how to set up mapping preferences and toggle between multiple monitors with your tablet. You can even set up the tablet to use only certain areas of the tablet or the monitor for mapping. You'll also see how the ExpressKeys can be adjusted to be perfect for either left-handed or right-handed use.

You'll learn the difference between the Pen and Mouse modes in this video, as well as how to switch between the two modes.

In this video you will see how to work with two monitors and jump between monitors. You will also learn how to adjust the brightness of the display (OLED).

In this video you'll see how the Control Panel settings can be assigned and arranged differently for different applications. We'll look at Photoshop and SketchBook Pro specifically.

The Wacom Tablet Utility allows you to back up or restore custom preferences and settings. These preferences can be saved and then reapplied on different machines by using the Restore button. This tutorial will walk you through the required steps.

This lesson explains why you might want to work with ExpressKeys and how to set them to suit your own particular workflow.

You can create specific ExpressKey setups for different applications, and in this video we'll look at defining ExpressKeys for Photoshop and SketchBook Pro.

ExpressKeys can also be combined to act as modifiers, providing more flexibility in the way they are assigned. You will learn how to do so in this video.

The functions of the Touch Ring can be adjusted individually for individual programs. In this lesson you will learn what features can be assigned to the Touch Ring and how you can customize it to take advantage of the latest features in Photoshop.

In this video you will learn more about the Radial menu and see how to add new functions to the menu in order to optimize your workflow. You'll also discover that you can create multiple levels of commands using submenus.

Our original photograph was shot as a RAW file, which means that we can correct it before opening it in Photoshop. We can also adjust the contrast to produce a better starting image, as you'll see in this video.

In this video you'll be introduced to Lightroom, the batch image editor of choice for the professional photographer.

Lightroom enables you to perform a set of operations on an image – correcting color, tone, highlights, and shadows – and then copy those adjustments to all the other photographs in the same set. It's a major time-saver, as you'll see in this video.

You often need to adjust different parts of an image on different ways; for example, an adjustment that makes the ground look perfect can produce a very washed-out sky. In this video, you'll see how a graduated filter enables you to solve this problem.

Sometimes you need to apply an effect to a very specific part of an image. As this video demonstrates, Lightroom allows you to paint in these effects using a brush and then to edit and adjust them afterwards.

This video looks at spot removal in Lightroom, which is a curious process that involves defining a circular area to be patched and then specifying the source location for the patch. The end results, though, are worth the trouble.

There's much more to Lightroom than we can possibly cover in this brief overview. This video provides a quick rundown of the other tools that are available to you.

In this video you'll get a brief introduction to Aperture.

In this video you'll see how to import pictures directly from your camera into Aperture and place them in the location you choose. By default, each new import is a separate project.

Aperture lets you make as many adjustments as you like to a single image, then apply exactly those adjustments to as many other images as you choose. This video shows you how.

In addition to making global adjustments, Aperture lets you work selectively. In this video you'll see how to choose an adjustment and then brush it either into or out of the image.

This video demonstrates how Aperture handles multiple versions of the same image. Each variation is stored only as metadata, not as an entirely new image.

Aperture, like iPhoto, can recognize faces and sort images according to where they were taken. This video looks at these and other clever features Aperture offers to help you work more efficiently.

The fun starts right away in this video, as we explore the artist's tools of Corel Painter.

In this video we'll use the Pencil brush to make a little sketch that will serve as a basis for the image we'll create in this course.

In this lesson we'll use the Oil brush to refine the painting further.

The Pastel brush is the ideal tool to work on the details of our painting and refine the background, as you'll see in this video.

In this video we'll add some style to our image, using the Blender to give it a nice painterly feeling.

As a finishing touch, we'll apply a glow effect to our painting in this video and call it done.

In this lesson we'll get started by opening a simple donut object. You'll learn how to move the object with the 3D tools and see the difference between moving the object and moving the camera.

You can create a new 3D object just by painting a 2D image – Photoshop uses the luminance information to build up a great landscape-like object! You'll see how it works in this video.

The Text tool and a path can both be used to create a repoussé object. In this video you'll see the various options to bevel the edges, inflate the surface, or change materials.

You can download thousands of 3D objects directly into Photoshop for free. The objects already have their materials, which of course can be changed easily, as you'll see in this video.

Materials matter! After learning the most important things about material textures, in this lesson you will see how to light an object, change the render settings, and render it!

In this video we'll dive right into ZBrush and its creative toolset, using sketch spheres to create a rough base model for our sculpture.

Before using polysculpting tools, we need to turn our sketch sphere model into a polygon mesh with the Unified Skin panel. This is a simple process, as you'll see in this video.

In this video we'll use ZBrush's Clay Tube polysculpting tool to add some detail to our sculpture.

In addition to its sculpting tools, ZBrush provides some powerful painting tools. In this video we'll use them to color the surface of our sculpture.

In this video we'll use polysculpting and polypainting simultaneously to create hair detail and conclude our sculpting project.
