INTRODUCTION Chapter 1 Graphics Tablet Introduction 1.1 General Introduction The Hanvon Graphics Tablet allows you to create graphics on a computer using a cordless and battery-free pen. It is very easy to use. You don’t need to be an experienced graphic artist to use it. This USB graphics tablet supports a variety of professional painting and photo editing software including Painter, Photoshop, Ulead Photolmpact, Flash, Dabbler, Maya, PaintShop and more. 1.
INTRODUCTION 1.3 Quick-Start Tutorial Note: Some series of graphics tablets have no pen slot and do not support touch keys and strip.
INTRODUCTION Holding the pen Hold the pen as usual. z The pen will take effect when it comes within 7mm above the tablet. z While using the pen, be sure that your thumb or index finger can easily control the button on the pen, which acts as the right-click key of a mouse. Positioning Moving the pen in the active area of the tablet will control the cursor’s position on the computer screen.
INTRODUCTION The pen and tablet use the Absolute Coordination method. This means the active area of the tablet represents the entire computer screen. Moving the pen on the tablet creates a corresponding movement of the cursor on the screen. Single Click One slight touch of the pen on the tablet has the same effect as a single left-click of the mouse. Double Click Two immediate clicks on the tablet have the same effect as a double left-click of the mouse.
INTRODUCTION Double Click Technique When the cursor is positioned, press the tablet twice immediately with the pen tip, making sure that you do not move the pen tip. The response for the double click can be slow for beginners. You can solve this problem by adjusting the double click speed from the normal setting of the tablet. Dragging Select a target by pressing the pen down on it, and do not release the pen till you have moved the target to the new position you want.
INTRODUCTION Pressure Sensitive Painting In applicable software, you can use the pressure sensitivity of the pen to control the painting brushwork for different effects such as direction, stroke width, color and thickness. The software that supports pressure sensitivity includes Adobe Photoshop, Painter, Flash, Ulead PhotoImpact, Art Dabbler etc. Touch key and Touch Strip Touch keys are programmable for modifier keys, keyboard shortcuts, mouse clicks, open/run applications, and pop-up menus.
