Of course, you could purchase the Corel Painter Essentials software, but as an Intuos owner you don’t have to. If the installation interface does not prompt you directly to it, you can get your drivers here. Then, you will need a driver for your device so your tablet and your computer speak the same language. Obviously, you need to connect your tablet to your computer. Set up your device & install softwareįirst things first. All you need to know, is how to use it and how to get started with your Intuos. With this powerful top of the line software at your fingertips, you will be creating, if not miraculously conjuring, inspiring artwork.

If you belong to the lucky ones who recently received a new Wacom Intuos, you will also be able to unleash your creativity with Corel Painter Essentials. My tablet also came with a free 30-day trial to and you know I’ll be all over that! Very exciting.Once again it is recap time. It allows you to use touch gestures (replacing the neat zoom circle I had on my Bamboo tablet I bought seven years ago), but I find I accidentally rotate when I mean to zoom, so I’ll have to find a way to disable rotate! Lots to get used to, so for now I’ve been using the switch to turn the touch feature off. They’re different from what I was used to in Corel Painter Essentials 4 and I’m having a hard time finding either a list of the new shortcuts or a way to map the shortcuts I want. Speaking of which, I’m having trouble with the keyboard shortcuts. The Van Gogh is cool because it changes colors with each new stroke – looks like four colors is the limit, unless I can customize it further. (The included software is what makes the “Art” different from the “Draw”, “Comic”, and “Photo”.) Today I went through all the brushes to see which ones I will probably use. Soooooo I got a new Intuos tablet from Wacom (whoo hoo!) and the “Art” tablet comes with a sort-of-free download of Painter Essentials 5.
