Working with your Cintiq

     Page  25

Working with the tablet controls

To speed up your workflow in graphics or other applications, your Cintiq interactive pen display features 
ExpressKeys and Touch Strips.  While using the pen with your dominant hand, you can simultaneously 
use your other hand to operate the ExpressKeys or Touch Strip.  For example, by using the 
ExpressKeys you can quickly change your tool properties without lifting your hand from the Cintiq 
screen surface.

Touch Strip

ExpressKeys

Press the customizable ExpressKeys to perform frequently used 
functions or keystrokes.  By default, the keys emulate keyboard modifier 
keys.  In Photoshop, this provides quick access to the grabber hand and 
alternate tools.  See 

Using ExpressKeys

 on page 26.

ExpressKeys

Touch Strip

Slide your finger over the Touch Strip to zoom, scroll, or perform custom keystroke 
actions.  By default, the Touch Strips enable you to zoom in most graphics 
applications and to scroll in other applications.  You can also set them to issue 
custom keystrokes.  For example, you might set a Touch Strip function to change 
brush sizes when working in Photoshop.  See
