hi there
thanks for joining me. I'm digital artist Aaron Rutten. in this video
I'll be reviewing the new Wacom Intuos Pro
Wacom's done some rebranding so there used to be the Intuos and the Intuos 2,
Intuos 3, 4 and even 5.
These were all progressively better models of basically the same tablet
but now Wacom has rebranded and decided just to call this the Intuos Pro
and to call the Bamboo tablet the Intuos. the Wacom Intuos Pro
is the professional version of the Intuos. the main features are:
it comes with a pen like all tablets. the pen has an eraser
the tablet has some really cool express keys. there's four on the top and four on
the bottom that you can use for some different commands. you could program these to
do just about anything
there is a nice Radial Dial here which you can use to zoom in and zoom out
of your artwork when you're painting. and best of all,
this is touchpad capable so I can just use my finger to navigate
my mouse cursor and zoom and pan my page
also the Intuos Pro comes with a wireless
accessory standard. so if you want to make this wireless
it's really easy to do. you don't have to buy the upgrade. as far as the specs
on this tablet, it has 2048 pressure levels for the tip and the eraser
when you're drawing you can push down harder or lighter and you'll get a different
amount of opacity
or pen pressure. I'll show you that in Corel Painter in a minute
there's also pen tilt. so depending on how you tilt the pen,
it can recognize the angle of your pen. next, the LPI resolution
describes the amount sensitivity that the tablet has
so when you're drawing, if it has more resolution and more sensors you can draw finer lines
so rather than try to really explain this to you in a technical way
I'll just draw and show you
this is the pressure sensitivity here in Corel Painter. so if I push down light,
I get a thin line
and if I push down hard, I get a thick line. And I can get anything in between
so this is the levels of pressure sensitivity
for the pen. and of course there is an eraser which also has pressure sensitivity
you just flip the pen over
and you can erase
flip it back over and you can draw again
without having to switch tools. and the coolest feature of all
is the touch pad feature. so you'll have to have the touchpad
feature enabled in Corel Painter. which is under the general menu of Edit > Preferences
and you have to check this enable multitouch device option
and now if I use two fingers here
I can zoom in and zoom out if I push
up and down or side to side with two fingers
I can pan my canvas around. so I can really zoom in here
and really get to any part of this I want
and rotate it all around.
it's really cool feature. The Intuos Pro has all these different
express keys that can be used for different things
I have this particular bottom express key set to Undo. So you can see
I can do Undos by pressing it
we can really set it to do just about anything
overall, this tablet is really nice looking
it's very then it's not too heavy
it still manages to fit a laptop bag
even though it's the medium size. they also make this in small and large
the small I think is about 4x6 inches and the large is
pretty close to 9x12 inches
the Medium is about 8x6 inches approximately. and again it
can be Wireless or you can plug in through USB. works
The touch works really well and can save you from having to use your laptop's trackpad
I think that's really nice
so I definitely recommend this tablet for professional artists
you can get these tablets from Wacom's website
Wacom.com
