Working with application-specific settings
You may wish to customize a tool for use with a particular application. For example, you may want a firm
pen tip pressure setting in one application and a soft pressure setting in another. The A
PPLICATION
list
enables you to add an individual application to the list and then customize your tool settings for that
application.
•
When no application-specific settings have been created and a tool is selected from the T
OOL
list, the
A
PPLICATION
list displays the A
LL
icon containing tool settings that apply to all of your applications. In the
example below, no application-specific settings have been added for the Intuos3 mouse so the A
LL
icon
is displayed and the mouse will have the same settings in all applications.
•
When application-specific settings are added to the A
PPLICATION
list, the A
LL
icon changes to A
LL
O
THER
,
and an application icon is displayed for the newly added application(s). In the following example,
application-specific settings have been added for the pen for both Photoshop and Painter.
In the example above, if you select the A
LL
O
THER
icon and make changes to the tab settings, your
changes will apply to the P
EN
in all applications except Photoshop and Painter, which have their own
specific pen settings. If you select the icon for P
HOTOSHOP
and make changes to the tab settings, your
changes will apply only to the pen while you are using Photoshop. Likewise, if you select the P
AINTER
icon and make changes to the tab settings, those changes will only apply while you are using Painter.
When you create application-specific settings, you are creating a separate group of settings for the selected
tool and application. See the following sections for additional details:
