Configuring Adobe Photoshop CS2 for 1st Time Use

Before NuLOOQ navigator can be used with Adobe Photoshop CS2, you must first configure Adobe Photoshop CS2 and then restart CS2 for proper operation. To get started, first ensure that the NuLOOQ navigator driver has been installed on your system and your system has been restarted, if required.

Once up and running, start Adobe Photoshop CS2. After a first time install, you'll get a dialog box saying that you need to configure Adobe Photoshop CS2.

Click on OK and once in Photoshop, go to "Keyboard Shortcuts..." menu. This menu is available from the "Edit" menu item.

A dialog box appears with options on configuring shortcut keys for virtually any command in Photoshop.

Click on "File" menu command. This will expand all the "File" menu commands. Scroll down the list till you fine "NuLOOQ Plug-in...". Click under shortcut column next to "NuLOOQ Plug-in..." row and enter a shortcut command. Note, this shortcut command can be

anything, you'll not be typing this shortcut key at anytime, so make it as complicated as possible. This is required for our Photoshop plug-in and once configured, you'll never have to use it again.

Click on OK once complete and then exit out of Photoshop. You may now start Photoshop and start using NuLOOQ navigator. No other configuration changes are required from within the NuLOOQ navigator panel.

If you change your workspace or load a different workspace, you may need to reconfigure the shortcut key for NuLOOQ Plug-in.

NuLOOQ navigator components

The NuLOOQ navigator is composed of a number of moveable and touch sensitive parts:

● navring: The gray moveable ring encircling the device.

● tooltuner dial: The touch sensitive circular surface located on top. (Also referred to as tooltuner.)

● click triggerpoints: The 4 triggerpoints within the tooltuner dial groove. Triggerpoints labeled I, III and the circle

and square buttons are click triggerpoints.

● touch triggerpoint: The single button located in the center labeled triggerpoint II.

Placing the device on the desk

The NuLOOQ navigator is not a mouse, but rather works with your mouse, trackball or tablet and keyboard. If you use your mouse or tablet with the right hand, the NuLOOQ navigator should be placed on the left hand side. And vice versa if you use your mouse or tablet on the left hand side. Picture below is an example of how NuLOOQ navigator is used on the left hand and the mouse on the right hand.

Properly holding the NuLOOQ navigator

The NuLOOQ navigator is composed of a moveable ring, called the navring and also a touch sensitive surface located on top of the device called the tooltuner dial or tooltuner. The most practical way to hold the device is to gently place your thumb and middle or index finger on the gray ring and rest your arm on its side next to the navigator. This allows you to move the navring as well as the tooltuner dial with minimal hand movement. See picture below for an example of the left hand can be placed on the NuLOOQ navigator. We don't recommend placing your hand over the top the device as that

limits your access to the tooltuner dial and the built-in triggerpoints.

Using the navring

The navring is a gentle moveable gray ring encircling the device. This ring can be moved in all horizontal directions and twisted, as shown in animated image below. Keep in mind that the device is not intended to move. Only the navring slides, while the device is stationary.

In most applications, the navring is used to pan and zoom around documents and images. However in timeline based apps, such as video editing or audio applications, the navring can be configured to navigate the timeline, such as moving forward or backwards or adjusting resolution.

Using the tooltuner dial

The tooltuner dial is a flat touch-sensitive surface located on the top of your NuLOOQ navigator. To use the tooltuner dial, just gently glide your finger on the surface within the groove in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction as shown in the picture below.

The tooltuner dial is typically used to adjust brush size or text attributes in applications like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign. However the tooltuner dial can be configured for many uses, including adjusting volume or navigating timelines.

Using the triggerpoints

The surface of the tooltuner dial also contains five triggerpoints; 4 triggerpoints require a click to activate, while one is touch sensitive.

All 5 triggerpoints are fully programmable and configurable. Triggerpoint II is touch sensitive and doesn't require a click to activate. Just resting your finger on the surface of triggerpoint II will activate the button. The triggerpoints can be configured to execute shortcut commands or even act as a modifier key. The NuLOOQ navigator control panel can be used to configure the triggerpoints by application.

Please note that in applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign, to adjust the brush size or text attributes using tooltuner dial, a button needs to be configured to enable that mode. By default the button at the top (looks like a square) is configured to enable tooltuner dial to adjust brush size. In other applications, all 5 buttons are programmable.

Configuring NuLOOQ navigator

The NuLOOQ navigator control panel can be used to quickly configure NuLOOQ navigator for your custom needs. The control panel can be opened by either right clicking on navigator icon on system tray and opening panel or opening control panel window and then double clicking on NuLOOQ navigator icon.

Usage Recommendations

1. Rather than moving the mouse repeatedly to get to different areas of the image or picture, gently nudge the navring to move the image from section to section and keep the mouse stationary.

2. Use the mouse to drive into and out of your image. The image will automatically zoom into where the mouse cursor is located. Move your mouse to make adjustments to where you zoom.

3. Make small movements of the navring to get very precise control of your image navigation. Make large movements to move quickly across your image.

Things to Avoid

1. Using too much. The navring moves a very small amount and requires just a light force.

2. Tilting instead of sliding. Tilting the navring will result in no or little activity. Slide the navring parallel to the desk to get the best results.
