Customizing the Touch Ring

Customizing the Touch Ring (Intuos Pro)

To customize the Touch Ring, select the Touch Ring tab. Touch Ring functions can be modified to perform various zooming, scrolling, or custom keystroke operations. The ring can be toggled between four customizable modes by pressing the Center Button.

Use slider controls to set the rate at which zooming, scrolling or rotating occurs, or the speed at which keystroke events are sent to an application. The Show touch ring setting checkbox enables or disables display of the Touch Ring settings diagram.

Touch Ring functions can be defined for use with specific applications. See Using the Touch Ring for more information.

Tips:

  • To customize the Touch Ring for other actions, select the Keystroke... option and define a custom keystroke function. See Button functions for more information about the Keystroke... option. To learn which keystroke shortcuts are supported by a particular application, see the documentation that came with the application.
  • Choose Skip to set the Touch Ring Center Button to skip a function mode in the toggle sequence.
  • To zoom images at the current position of the screen cursor in Photoshop® CS3 (or later), open the Photoshop general preferences pane. Check the Zoom with Scroll Wheel option and click OK.
  • To set the brightness of the Touch Ring status LEDs and active area markers, click the Options... button at the bottom of the Wacom Control Panel. In the Options dialog, change the Brightness Adjustment setting as needed.

Important: Some applications can override and control the Touch Ring functions. For details, see Using integrated applications.
