With paper edition, you get an extra pen a clip for clipping your paper and a small storage pouch. Design and Build Quality source: wacom.com Now some of you may say it depends on your budget and how much money you are willing to spend – which is right. Also of note is that I observed no noticeable lag time between tablet and computer screen when it was connected via USB. The Bluetooth connection also seemed quite good, though I did notice a little bit of latency when using the paintbrush tool for extended periods of time.
The medium version sports a slightly smaller physical footprint than its predecessor and yet gains a larger active area. Depending on your desk size you could place it alongside your keyboard if you prefer not to use the ExpressKeys and touch ring. However, taking advantage of these time-saving features and shortcuts is far more productive. It’s also wireless, with Bluetooth 4.2 helping you to declutter your desktop and work from your sofa. Wacom Pro Pen 2But a good tablet is not all about specs. What sets the Intuos Pro apart from all the other tablets in the market is its quality. It had been a number of years since I’d used a tablet for photo editing, and I can confirm that the learning curve was certainly there. But after a bit of practice with the pen and tablet I found the process of retouching scanned negatives in Adobe Photoshop to be more precise, faster and less taxing on my wrist than it would have been if I were using a mouse. Put another way, the difference between retouching with the Wacom pen vs. the mouse is like hand-writing a note with a fine tipped Sharpie vs a paint roller. The eraser is precise as well. I found it to be particularly helpful when creating multi-layer image compositions. The Wacom Intuos Pro is a graphics tablet rather than a pen display, meaning you’ll need to hook it up to some kind of external display like a tablet or monitor. Once this is done – and the setup process is pretty intuitive and straightforward – you’ve got a highly effective drawing tablet on your hands, and one that comes at a great price.
Paper edition of the Wacom Intuos Pro is like a 2 in one device. It works like a normal Intuos Pro – but can also convert your paper drawing into digital files with the help of a special pen. The medium and large models come with a total of eight shortcut button which is divided into two groups of 4 button.The touch ring enables you to perform shortcuts like zoom, rotate, pan, scroll and most importantly change the size of the brush and eraser. To further customize the feel of the tablet – the Intuos Pro comes with different types of pen nibs with have their own grip levels.
Overall, the Wacom Intuos Pro is comfortable to work with and performs will with creative apps. It's also small and lightweight enough to use on the go. Battery life is also decent. There are a few niggles in the form of the slight lag and an unergonomic pen stand. We think most people will be happy with this Wacom tablet, but you may also want to consider newer alternatives such as the Xencelabs pen tablet bundle, which has a similar price point, but offers more in the box and performs very smoothly. Of course, Photoshop is not the only application the Intuous Pro is good for; I also used the tablet to work on images in Adobe Lightroom. And while it was useful for cloning and healing, I found it to be a little unwieldy when making adjustments to the slider. Ultimately I think I still prefer utilizing the mouse and the keyboard shortcuts that have been burned into my muscle memory for Lightroom work. Bottom lineThe Wacom Pro Pen 2 is incredibly responsive but feels slightly too sensitive with the default settings. Once set up, it does provide a very natural feel when drawing concept designs, texture painting and sculpting, and it performed well in Photoshop, Painter, Mari, Maya and ZBrush during testing, although that was after a few hours of getting used to it. With that said Wacom Intuos comes with the Pro Pen 2 which is Wacom’s most advanced stylus. It is arguably the best stylus in the market.
In case you do not want to use the touch feature – there is a button on the side of the tablet which lets you turn off the touch sensitivity. Stylus – Wacom Pro Pen 2 The Wacom Pro Pen 2’s stand stores additional nubs. The pen itself has two customizable buttons – flip it upside down and you can use it as an eraser. The tablet itself has rubber grip on the bottom to keep it in place, and its slim profile makes it easy to travel with or store away when space is limited. In use You may get a cheap tablet that costs half its price but after a couple of months, you would realize the drawing surface is getting scratched off and wearing apart. The Wacom Pro Pen 2 is comfortable to hold for long periods of time, and has impressive pressure sensitivityThere is very little noticeable lag, which can be a problem with cheaper tablets, and the pen is comfortable in your hand for long stints, providing superb pressure responsiveness and giving you innate control and precision for detailing. It enables you to perform various shortcuts such as zoom, rotate, pan and scroll. You can also use the touch in other applications or use the tablet as a big touchpad. The best thing about this tablet is the excellent ergonomics. Most notably, there's a new VESA mount that can be combined with its adjustable stand (or indeed any VESA-compatible arm or stand) to give you extra flexibility in positioning. For those who are left-handed – You can simply rotate the device by 180° and change the settings to the left-handed mode in the driver settings. A stylus is one of the most important parts of a drawing tablet. Some even consider it more important than the tablet itself.
