Wacom Intuos3 Widescreen Tablet 6 X 11 Inch
Wacom Intuos3 Widescreen Tablet 6 X 11 Inch * Tablet * Pen * Pen Stand * Extra Pen Nibs * Driver and Software CD * Quick Start Guide The Tablet The tablet has a set of four buttons and a touch sensitive āscroll stripā on each side of the tablet which brings the total to 8 buttons and 2 scroll strips. The standard functions of these buttons are Control, Alt, Shift and Space. These settings can be changed later using the software. The most important part of the tablet is of course the huge surface area in the middle. The difference between this tablet and the one that I described earlier, is that with this tablet the position of the cursor is calculated by the tablet surface instead of the point of the pen. This allows for much greater accuracy. Another cool feature of the tablet is that it delivers power to the pen and mouse. I donāt really know how they do it, but when you get the pen or mouse close enough to the surface of the tablet they get activated automatically. This is really handy because it means that you donāt have to put a battery in the pen which conserves a lot of weight and therefore improves the comfort while holding the pen. Also found on the tablet, is a small light indicator. It lights up blue when it is powered but switches to green when the pen or mouse are activated. The Pen The pen has two pressure sensitive buttons. The front of the pen is equal to your mouseās left button. When you tap it on the surface of the tablet you āclickā the button and things get activated. The front tip also allows you to make really thin lines in Photoshop when pressed lightly. When you press harder though, the line gets thicker. That way you can make really fine details in your work or make really big strokes if you for example want to fill a large area with a color. On the back of the pen there is the eraser. This button does exactly the same thing as the front button, but with the opposite effect, in that it deletes your artwork. Again you can do some really fine erasing or delete big portions all at once by pressing the eraser harder on the tabletās surface. There are also two normal buttons on the pen. In default setup, one is programmed as the right mouse button and the other is programmed for double clicking. A cool feature of the pen is that you can exchange the nibs to give it a different āfeelingā. For example, there is a nib with higher friction and a softer nib that gives a somewhat of brush like feeling. There are also some spare normal nibs. Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
