Drawing or making any work art through a computer is a very
tough job, especially for beginners. Using the mouse in forming
shapes, changing thickness, changing colors, erasing and
switching from one command to the other is lot of work and needs
more time. To decrease the time consumed and to eliminate
unnecessary efforts, a tool was invented, the digitizing or
graphics tablet. A graphics tablet is defined as an input
device, which consists of an electronic tablet and a cursor or a
stylus pen that enables you to enter drawings and sketches into
a computer.
One of the leading makers of graphics tablet is the Wacom. Wacom
has invented different tablets for different users who use
different programs. Wacom has already introduced their latest
technology, the Wacom Intuos3.
The Wacom Intuos3 consists of a tablet, a pen and a five-button
mouse.
The USB-based tablet is a flat screen where you make your
drawing using a stylus pen. It represents the screen of the
computer. Every point on the tablet has a corresponding point on
the computer.
The Intuos3 Grip pen is used to control your drawing. It is
pressure-sensitive and has 1,024 levels of tip and eraser
pressure sensitivity for an easy control. It is a cordless and
battery-free pen with programmable DuoSwitch for comfort and
productivity. It includes three nib styles; standard nib, stroke
nib and felt nib.
The Intous3 five-button mouse is a cordless and battery-free
mouse. It is ball-free and optics-free for a smooth and accurate
tracking. The purpose of this mouse is to prevent user from
repetitive motion. It can be used as a replacement for the pen
if the user gets tired of using it.
Wacom Intuos3 contains eight chordable express keys and two
finger-sensitive touch strips. This can be used for scrolling,
zooming or can be programmed to perform custom functions. It
also includes software like Adobe Photoshop Elements 2, Corel
Painter Essentials 2, nik Color Efex Pro 2 and Wacom Brushes 2
for more choice of brushes. Driver software for intuitive
interface, customizable pressure curves, tablet and device
settings, pop-up menu and flexible mapping options are also
included.
The best thing about Intuos3 is that it is ergonomically
designed. The tablet is designed with sloping, contoured
palm-rest and an acrylic overlay. A mouse was provided so that
the user is prevented from injuries caused by repetitive motion.
It has enhanced electronics that doubles the resolution to 5,080
lpi. It has an 8 ft. cable so you can work freely. There are
three available sizes for you to choose from; 4x5, 6x8 and 9x12.
