Wacom Intuos4 Graphics Tablet

The Wacom Intuos4 large tablet and pen is excellent for creative professionals.  The digital drawing pad has a generous 102.5 square inches of workspace.  It was designed with trained professionals in mind that are used to working from the elbow or shoulder.
The refined pen packaged with this digital drawing pad simulates a natural feel. It has 2048 points of pressure sensitivity and an amazing 60 degrees of tilt recognition allowing great accuracy.  Even a feather touch of one gram will register with this precision pen which gives it the natural feel of creating brush strokes or working with traditional markers and pens.  In precision mode, the pressure sensitivity dynamically changes the size of the pen stroke which in turn gives a more realistic response to the artist’s movements and gestures.
The tablet has many features.  One of nicest things about it is its ergonomics.  The pad is thin and just slightly sloped.  A palm rest makes for comfortable writing on any area of the digital drawing pad. The pen is also ergonomically designed to reduce stress.  It has a contoured barrel for easy grip, which reduces stress on your wrist as well.
One unique feature of this digital drawing pad is the finger sensitive touch ring.  This ring helps you navigate through drawings, programs etc…  The middle of the ring has a button that toggles in four positions that can be set for different functions.
The tablet also has ExpressKeys that you customize to your own liking for various functions in different programs.  Quite unique to this tablet is the illuminated display area which changes as you switch between different settings so that you know exactly which settings are active. Glancing over at the display is sure to save a great deal of time and take some of the guess work out of creating artwork.
Speaking of switching, the Wacom Inuos4 is designed for both left hand and right hand use.  What’s more is that there are numerous accessories that you can purchase for an even more personal feel.  For instance, there are different pen styles that emulate various pens (including an inking pen).  There is an airbrush accessory that feels and acts like a traditional airbrush.  These accessories all help creative professionals customize their digital drawing pad with implements they are used to creating with.
Another customizable feature of the Wacom Intuos4 is the fact that users select the software of their choice as part of the package.  After purchase, users go to the Wacom site and can download two of three programs listed:  Adobe Photoshop® Elements 7, Autodesk SketchBook Express® 2010 and Corel Painter™ Sketch Pad.  Users also can download Nik® Color Efex Pro™ WE6 and Wacom Brushes 3.0.
The details and customizable features of this digital drawing pad and pen make it an excellent choice for professionals.  The available accessories help artists keep a natural level of comfort as they create.  For photographers, the precision that the pen allows gives the professional results they expect.  The Wacom Intuos4 is an excellent choice for creative professionals!
