Welcome to Making The Most Of Your Wacom, a 10-part series of videos full of tips and tricks for how to maximize your productivity and creativity with your Wacom, hosted by Pablo Muñoz Gómez.

We’ll be covering everything from setting up and customizing your pens to creating custom radial menus to using your Wacom accessories to the fullest.
Here’s what this series is going to cover:
- Tip 1: Mapping touch to a separate monitor

In this video, Pablo Muñoz Gómez shares a tip for anyone who has watched the rest of his tips and now has a custom Wacom setup: backing up and restoring custom settings!
From Pablo: “There is no point spending all this time customizing your setup and all your radial menus if you don’t keep the configuration saved somewhere. I recently upgraded my computer and had to reinstall everything. Fortunately I backed up my Wacom preferences and settings so I just loaded my file and was back to work with no time wasted!”
