Setting up Wacom Intus Pro

[Peter Pokorny]

Hello!

I would like to know how to set up the Wacom Intus Pro Tablet and Pen best to work with Affinity Photo similarly to Photoshop. At the moment I have no idea how to bring a similar functionality as I have had in photoshop to affinity photo. E.g. right/double click/klick or context sensitive menus like brush settings. 

Could someone help me with this settings?

Mac or Windows? Which OS?

To set up the Wacom for Affinity Photo you will need to add Affinity Photo  to the Tablets preferences.
With the tablet connected to your computer, open System Preferences.
At the bottom of the window you will see your Wacom tablet icon, click on that to access the preferences.
There is a preloaded default called ‘All Other Apps’ this is used by the tablet for all no specified apps.

To add specific apps, in the row ’Tool:’ choose ‘Functions’ for setting up  the tablet & on-screen controls or Pen for setting up the pen.

Next click the ‘+’ button at the right end of the row ‘Application:’ to choose a specific app like APhoto to add.

After that the exact functions that you wish to bind to which tablet, pen or on-screen controls is entirely up to you.

thanks. what I haven't found yet is how to get brush settings to the pen.

Ah I see.
No I to have not found brush parameters that can be directly assigned to the Pen buttons.
What I have done on my pen is to set the forward button as Ctrl+Opt. Like this if I hold down the forward button while dragging Left/Right or Up/Down on the tablet I can control brush Size and Softness.
