Use Your Pen; Pen Tip And Eraser; Pen Buttons - Wacom Intuos S User Manual

Use your pen

Use your pen to interact with your device. This includes to drawing, writing, or moving items, and activating settings that you
assign to pen buttons.
Tips:
Hold the pen as you would normally hold a pen or pencil. Adjust your grip so that you can press any pen buttons easily with
your thumb (recommended) or index finger without accidentally pressing it.
To make it easier to access tools in applications like Adobe Photoshop, assign modifiers, such as Alt and Ctrl, to your pen
buttons so that you do not have to use your keyboard keys.

Pen tip and eraser

Draw or sign : Draw or sign with the pen tip directly on the device surface.
Pens are pressure-sensitive, so the harder you press, the thicker your lines and the denser the color.
Move the cursor
: Move the pen while holding it slightly above the device without touching the screen surface.
Double-click
: Quickly tap the screen twice in the same place with the pen tip.
Erase : Flip the pen to the side opposite the pen tip and move the eraser over the area you want to erase, just as you
would use the eraser on a pencil.
Note
: Some pens do not have an eraser.
Select an item
: Tap the screen once with the pen tip.
Move an item : Select the item with the pen tip, then slide the pen tip across the screen to move it.
