Tablets
To get the full benefit or experience while using SketchBook Pro, one must realize that
the software was developed with pressure sensitive tablets in mind. Therefore, one of
the best tips for using SketchBook Pro is to get a tablet. The most effective maker of
these tablets is most probably Wacom. To get the maximum possible use and exper-
ience with SketchBook Pro, it is recommended that you purchase the best tablet you
can afford. The Wacom tablets allow you to set shortcuts on the pen and tablet but-
tons. Some of the functions that can be set include right-click, the
Alt
key (Windows),
command
(Mac), scroll, and zoom. There is also a SketchBook Pro app that can be
used on android tablets and iPad. For these, you can purchase a pressure sensitive
pen or stylus.
