There is a lot in the pro kit.
So my question is what Tips (as in the pressure tips do you use)?
Also to you use the plugins that come with it?
And lastly, Do you adjust sensitivity settings?

I use the regular tips, but when I'm painting I prefer the grey one with the little spring.

I don't use any plugins. Can't remember if my Intuos 4 came with any.

Yes, you need to adjust the sensitivity settings.

I will second what Alveric already stated.

My main purpose of the tablet is photo retouching versus graphic design. With that in mind, I don't use the whole surface area. The area that I mostly work in is maybe 4" by 4".

There are many things that can be customized but will mostly depend on your preferences.

I got some useful information from watching the video's that Phlearn had put out. Here is a link to the first one: https://www.youtube.co​m/watch?v=1wkwpntvyU4 (external link)

It takes some getting used to. My normal hand motion was not comfortable at first doing some horizontal movement but with practice it has gotten easier.
