    Saved me a lot of headache from Windows Ink conflicting with PS! The trick with the canvas is just great, and also it’s nice to get a confirmation that I chose a simple Wacom Intuos S was a good decision 🙂

  2. Michael Zortman

    Thank you for introducing me to this! I purchased the Wacom Intuos Pro small tablet. It will take a little getting used to, but can already see that it will make detailed editing much easier! I’m enjoying all of the tutorials!

    Another amazing video. A few years ago I’ve owned a Wacom tablet to edit. Just purchased the medium Wacom. This video was very helpful and I learned a thing or two 🙂 In the past my canvas would rotate and I never new why or how I accidentally rotated the canvas. Now I know how to rotate the canvas and it’s useful tips & tricks. The ah-ha moment for me was how to “reset view” back to the original orientation!!

    This was the missing link to Windows Ink! Problem solved! Thanks, Daniel!
