Wacom Intuos 4 Announced

wacomHey all,

I’m not much of a pen fan, but loads of photographers are. Wacom Intuos are the standard pen tablet for the majority of working graphics professionals… and for a reason. They’re really well made and will last you a long time. This is also a great time to buy into the series as I imagine you’ll start seeing a liquidation of still perfectly great Intuos 3’s go on clearance.

I’m thinking about picking one of these up once they become available, not because I want to draw on screen very much (though that will be nice for applying masks to pictures in PS), but because these are supposed to stave off carpal tunnel better than even the most ergonomic mouse. I spend more than a fair amount of time on a computer and any little bit will help. Plus the quick keys can be mapped to specific actions and other commands in PS speeding up your entire workflow… this coupled with my iPhone and Logitech MX1100 mouse will put pretty much every command I normally use off the keyboard and just a button push away.

Wacom Intuos 4 - Anyone needing a gift idea for me? ;)
