So easy, in fact, that this video tutorial can present a complete, step-by-step overview of the process in just under four minutes. For more information, including detailed, step-by-step instructions, take a look.

• I specifically looked for a Bamboo because I needed to replace my old Wacom Graphire3 on a Mac that runs 10.6.8. Per Wacom's site, this tablet is supposed to work on older operating systems, but the included CD was worthless to me. I was able to download the correct driver from Wacom's website, but this was irritating.
• Supports All Bamboo tablets, Graphire4, Graphire Bluetooth & Graphire3. Driver also supports to Cintiq 17SX, DTF-720, DTU-710, DTF-521 & DTF-510 pen displays.

Developed for macOS

Wacom tablets are a gift to the creative world: they are in-demand graphics tablets or pen tablets, generally used in the graphic design industry or by digital artists to draw by hand or capture images or graphics in digital form. The information is displayed on the monitor of a connected Mac or personal computer.

These tablets are made up of so many different models and essentially designed to allow someone to digitally doodle straight into the computer, among many tasks. They allow hand-drawn work to be digitized, with a few advantages over click-and-point navigation. The pen, for one, has a pressure-sensitive system to determine things like a line’s thickness or to efficiently capture handwritten notations.

Some Wacom tablet users, however, have encountered issues since updating to macOS High Sierra. Released back in September 2017, macOS 10.13 High Sierra caused problems with Wacom users who upgraded to it and eventually noticed that their tablets wouldn’t work.

In February this year, Wacom rolled out a software update that covered most of its newer-generation tablets, asserting that it has fixed issues and added improvements. The driver release, for instance, supports the Wacom Intuos pen tablet, accommodating new functions and making the device registration process easier. Learn more about this update here.

A couple of issues involving Wacom tablets and Sierra still exist, with complaints such as difficulty clicking on the device. In online forums, a couple of users using Wacom Bamboo CTH-470 find that the touch capability isn’t working across High Sierra as well as Mojave.

Some users have tried uninstalling potentially problematic drivers, reinstalling the Wacom drivers, and trying their luck with past versions, yet nothing much worked.

These issues could mean a thousand different things, but there’s no harm in ensuring that you’re installing the correct Wacom driver in your system. Follow these steps:

1. Make sure that your tablet is disconnected from the computer.
2. From the desktop, go to Go > Applications. There, look for the Wacom folder listed and open Wacom Tablet Utility. Click on the Remove
3. Restart your computer.
4. Download and install the latest driver here.
5. Restart your computer again.
6. Once the system is fully loaded once again, connect the tablet to your computer and see if everything’s working fine by now.

For the CTH-470 touch capability glitch, several users found success in reinstalling the last driver for the tablet and following these steps:

1. Go to Systems Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility.
2. Add Consumer Pen Driver, Pen Tablet Driver, Wacom Utility (choose from Apps folder > Wacom).
3. Afterwards, proceed to Applications > Wacom Tablet > Welcome Desktop Center > Backup Settings. Choose Reset Settings.
4. See if things are working well on your end now.

When faced with the double clicking issue, try these steps:

1. Go to Systems Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse/Trackpad.
2. Set Double Click Speed slider to Fast.
3. Check if changing this accessibility setting works.

These issues highlight the importance of regularly updating drivers and keeping your computer clean and optimized for top performance. Use tools like Tweakbit Mac Repair to scan your machine for all types of junk and clear valuable space by eliminating unnecessary apps and other space hogs.

We hope your Wacom-High Sierra issues get resolved with these simple techniques, and that those creative juices flow uninterrupted once again with your working tablet. Good luck and let us know which fixes actually made a difference for you!

Adobe® Illustrator® and Intuos Pro deliver clean, extendable graphics providing professional designers and illustrators with a better way to create.

Featuring a host of creative tools, Adobe Illustrator has long been a program of choice for designers and illustrators alike. Advanced software capabilities enable users to produce elaborate designs and illustrations that capture their creativity with greater ease.

With a number of features, like path editing, point alignment and precise positioning Adobe Illustrator allows users to work more efficiently with custom workspaces by taking advantage of the easy-to-use interface, featuring space saving and custom viewing options.

Taking Adobe Illustrator to a New Level

The Intuos Pro pen tablet offers today’s digital artists an ergonomic device that combines pressure-sensitive pen and multi-touch capabilities, delivering precision and control that’s optimized to work with Adobe Illustrator to speed workflow.

For professionals, the Intuos Pro delivers improved performance and customization with better resolution, sensitivity and pen-tilt recognition. The workspace offers broad strokes and fluid arm movements, while the multi-touch surface lets you zoom, scroll and position work using intuitive gestures, allowing for more realistic strokes.

The Intuos Pro offers customizable ExpressKeys™ that can be assigned to application-specific settings as well as a Radial Menu that works with Adobe Illustrator, putting your favorite shortcuts and menu options at your fingertips.

Getting the Most Out of Adobe Illustrator with Intuos Pro

Of the many tools that are available in Adobe Illustrator, there are a handful that are specifically optimized for Intuos Pro. Tools that offer brush-like functionality, including Paintbrush, Blob Brush and the Eraser as well as specialty tools such as the Symbol Sprayer and Liquify take advantage of pen-pressure, tilt and in some cases even rotation. When paired with the Intuos Pro, these tools allow designers and artists to bring freeform shapes and stylized looks to life.

How to Set Up Your Pen for Illustrator

First, open the Wacom Tablet Properties (on a Mac, go to the Apple menu, select ‘system preferences,’ then choose ‘Wacom Tablet’. On a PC, click ‘start menu,’ then select ‘all programs,’ then ‘Wacom Tablet,’ then ‘Wacom Tablet Properties’). Next, select the tablet you want to customize; in this case, Intuos Pro.

Select the “tool” you want to set up. In this case, the Grip Pen. In the application row, add Illustrator as an application that you would like to customize. To do so, make sure Illustrator is open and running in the background, then click the “plus” sign to the right of the application row, select Illustrator and click “OK.” With Illustrator added to the application row, you are now ready to customize your Grip Pen.

Many designers and illustrators use the “hand tool” more than any other, so we’ll set up the side switch on the pen to perform this function. With the Grip Pen and Adobe Illustrator selected in their respective row within the Wacom Tablet Properties, a diagram of the pen appears.

Next to the pen, select the dropdown menu for the lower end of the side switch, closest to the pen tip, and change the function to “keystroke.” Now tap the space bar as though you were working in Illustrator. You will notice the word “Space” in the Keys field. Click “OK.” At this point, you can name the function something descriptive, such as “Hand Tool”. Repeat the steps to set up the back portion of the side switch in the same way.

How to Set Up ExpressKeys for Illustrator

Beyond advanced pen support, the benefit to using Intuos Pro in Illustrator is the ease with which you can access Illustrator’s menu-driven interface with tablet functions, including ExpressKeys and Radial Menus.

ExpressKeys are physical buttons that can be mapped to functions in the applications that you prefer. You can use these to perform almost any task, such as applying keystrokes, navigation functions or launching apps.

To customize ExpressKeys for use with Illustrator, start by selecting Functions in the tool row of the Wacom Tablet Properties. (ExpressKeys are found within Functions.) Next, repeat the steps for adding Illustrator as an application that you wish to customize, as noted above for the Grip Pen. Once Illustrator is added to the application row, you are now ready to customize your ExpressKeys.

With the Functions selected in the tool row, ensure that the ExpressKeys tab is selected and a diagram of the ExpressKeys on your tablet are visible. Make sure that you have the Adobe Illustrator icon selected in the application row. Now you are ready to customize your ExpressKeys.

Similar to setting up the side switch of the Grip Pen, click on the dropdown menu next to any ExpressKey and select a preferred function, such as keystroke. Similar to the Grip Pen example, you can assign any keystroke—or series of keystrokes—that you prefer to an ExpressKey. Alternatively, you can assign specialty functions such as modifiers or Radial Menu, which is discussed in the next section. Set up your ExpressKeys around your specific workflow, assigning them to your most commonly used keyboard shortcuts and functions.

How to Set Up the Radial Menu for Illustrator

Another powerful function of the Intuos Pro tablet is Radial Menu. Like ExpressKeys, the Radial Menu makes commonly used keyboard shortcuts and functions quickly accessible. Radial Menu is in essence an extension of ExpressKeys. Whereas ExpressKeys are physical buttons, the Radial Menu is an on-screen equivalent: Eight functions assigned to “slices” arranged in a radial fashion on-screen can be performed with the tap of your pen to the tablet.

To set up a Radial Menu for Illustrator, start first by assigning an ExpressKey or the side switch on the Grip Pen to Radial Menu. Next, select Functions in the tool row. Now tap the Radial Menu tab to find a diagram of the Radial Menu. Make sure that you have the Adobe Illustrator icon selected in the application row. Now you are ready to customize your Radial Menu.

A default Radial Menu offers some general functions, however you can maximize its potential by assigning functions that are part of your everyday workflow. To do so, tap on any “slice” and select a function from the Function dropdown menu. This step should look familiar as it is nearly identical to those used in setting up the side switch on the Grip Pen and ExpressKeys on the tablet.

Select a keystroke or specialty function for each of the slices. To see your Radial Menu in action when you are finished, return to Illustrator and press the ExpressKey or side switch button that you assigned to Radial Menu. In place of your cursor on the screen appears your custom Radial Menu. To perform the functions that you assigned to the Radial Menu, simply tap the appropriate slice. From there, your function is applied and the Radial Menu disappears.

Intuos Pro is the tablet of choice for professional designers and Illustrators around the world. When it comes to creating stand-out, award-winning designs and illustrations, artists depend on a device that can work seamlessly with leading design programs like Adobe Illustrator. The Intuos Pro pen tablet and Adobe Illustrator provides an all-in-one solution that equips today’s artists with the performance, control and creative tools that they demand.
