Product Description
Intuos4 redefines the pen tablet category.
Ever asked yourself how characters, emotions and ideas come to life - whether through photography, illustration, 3D-design, animation or the fine arts? The answer is a pioneering innovation that redefines the pen tablet category: Intuos4 by Wacom. The pen tablet generation for photographers, illustrators, 3D-designers and fine artists who want to release their full creative potential.
With superior comfort features.
For those who work hardest.
The idea behind Intuos4 was to develop a tool that makes life easier for anyone who wants to deliver excellent, professional results. Slim and ergonomic, it offers a sloping palm rest and complete hand support for hours of comfortable use. Its ambidextrous, reversible tablet design puts the ExpressKeys™ in the correct position at all times - no matter whether you are right or left-handed. Forget about hand strain: the contoured Grip Pen minimises grip effort significantly. And the Bluetooth connectivity of the Intuos4 Wireless shifts comfort into a new dimension: enjoy a wireless work environment combined with comfortable USB-charging.
With excellent power features.
For excellent creative performance.
Creative professionals do not think about what they do - they just do it. Intuos4 makes their work more intuitive with several advanced features. Dynamic ExpressKey™ displays show the current, application-specific functions of each key. Scrolling, zooming and brush adjustments are completed at the touch of a finger thanks to the multi-functional Touch Ring. Fine, detailed work at pixel level can be performed in the new Grip Pen precision mode. New radial menus enable structured and fast access to shortcuts - with just a pen stroke.

Through added controls for the non-dominant hand that enhance both results and productivity. Through best-in-class integration with leading software applications from Adobe©, Autodesk© and Corel© for realistic, pressure-sensitive pen controls. Last but not least through the Wacom Tip Sensor, which captures the slightest nuance of pressure with outstanding precision and accuracy.

Having tried an Intuos3 (A4 size) and selling it nearly new on ebay I was reluctant to try a tablet again but prolonged use of Illustrator and Photoshop made me think again. So glad I did. The Intuos4 is incredible. (And I'm not normally moved to write reviews!) The beauty of the small version is that it can comfortably sit in front of a keyboard and the tablet area can be syncronised to the screen area - this makes for lightning fast, truly intuitive input.
I originally considered the medium version (but couldn't push the budget) which has LCD icons for the programme keys but you really don't need this extra as one touch of an express key and the settings appear on your screen. I have no intention of using a mouse again. (And should you find you can't live without it - this version is very portable - fitting in a laptop case.)
My only gripe is that these tablets are so new - replacement/alternative pens are only available through the US website - can't find UK stockists that sell them yet.

I looked at buying a digital tablet like buying a watch. You want it to last, be accurate, reliable and you don't mind paying a bit more for real quality.
My Wacom tablet was all of these things and more. By more I mean it was a beautifully designed object, ergonomically superb and I now prefer it to my mouse for everything, not just photoshop (the reason I bought it)
Now I'm not saying some of the other brands would have let me down but as an Architect I appreciate quality and specification as well as design.
In summing up, if you can afford the premium price you won't be disappointed and you will have acquired a precision instrument.
One more thing I had reservations about going for the small A6 size and in truth I would probably have bought the A5/A4 if I could have afforded it but I took advice from other reviewers (basically saying the A6 was more than adequate for using with a laptop and ergonomically required less effort) and they have been proved right. So unless you are using a big display screen I think you will be more than happy with the A6.

I had before Intuos3 A4 size, hard to work with, like the previous reviewer, but now buying the small size I find it easier to use it, and much comfortable than A4 size.
The size being smaller, I don't need to move the pen in big gestures, which means I can use it for hours. Now I know that I could set up the working area, but then I was just wasting space, this one is just right, and I use it 6-7 hours a day, the settings I choose is even for a smaller area of the tablet despite 27" iMac..
My only problem is when I use the clone stamp, is quiet hard to press exactly in the right spot, so I am using my mouse again, any advice???? please do.
A good choice finally, and I use it every day, worth every penny. By the way, you can buy a protective sheet from wacom website, just in case, you protect the tablet from scratches, mind you I am very careful with mine.
