Is there anyone out there that can give me some guidance on how to work with my wacom tablet and PSE 4.0. I received the tablet as a gift, and I am looking forward to using it, I just don't know where to begin.

Thank you

congrats on the tablet!
I don't have exact directions but read the manual and try the software that came with the tablet.. most of all just play! Most of what I learned was by just experimenting, good luck!

I did that, but I thought you could use the PSE 4 to doodle as well?!

you sure can, I used it in PSE3 just fine.
Is there something specific you had trouble with, would be glad to help

DaniB~ what I really want to do is to be able to write in my handwriting on my scrapbook pages. I also doodle things that my daughter likes. I just don't know where to start. Thank you again danib

I have PSE3 so it may be a little different.
just pick a small round brush like a 9 or so from the brush tool drop down menu
then where it says ' more options' on the brush tool bar, make sure the spacing is set all the way to the left.

I always draw on a seperate layer since I goof up a lot

also zoom in where you want to doodle or journal

bottom left is one in my handwriting.. I think i like fonts way better though I have horrible handwriting

i use PSE3 and use my tablet often.

i just use it like i would use a piece of paper. you just have to play with it to get the hang of it.
