Navigation

Bamboo tablets are a great help for navigating your computer - whether you're moving your cursor across the screen, opening and closing files and folders, or working in common software applications. Bamboo tablets combine pen and multi-touch in one tablet, allowing you to alternate between the pen and gestures on the tablet surface.

Multi-touch makes it possible to use simple finger taps and hand gestures to navigate around your desktop and perform common tasks. Wacom introduces nine useful gestures that you can use with your tablet.

To navigate with the pen, just hover with the pen tip over the tablet surface. Each point on the tablet maps to a corresponding place on screen, making it easy to move your cursor. Tap the pen to select, and tap twice to open files. With a pen, you can perform any motion or command that you make with a mouse, and many more. Most tablet users will tell you that once you've got used to the pen, you'll never want to be without one.

Alternating between input devices can help reduce wrist strain caused by repetitive strain or RSI. A tablet provides an ergonomic alternative to traditional input devices, allowing you to work with your computer with minimal effort and from a relaxed position. A tablet assumes all the normal functions of a traditional computer mouse including basic navigation and selection, but provides vital ergonomic advantages as well.

Inking

Inking allows you to write digitally in your own handwriting, making it possible to take notes on your computer, sign your name, write an email to a friend, highlight important parts of a document, or even sketch out a diagram.

It's like writing on paper, but in a way that can be saved, edited, and shared as a digital file. Imagine having the potential to change the way you communicate by sending personal messages and fun drawings, annotating driving directions, or just brightening up someone's day with a little humour.

Even if you've never used a digital pen before, it's easy to understand why the pen is intuitive to use - it's just like writing with traditional pens, pencils, and markers. Additionally, you can navigate your computer with the Bamboo pen.

Bamboo models that include a pen make digital inking possible, but you should check your computer specifications to see whether your operating system and software support inking. Inking works best with Office 2007 and Microsoft® Windows Vista or Windows 7, which include a number of pen-friendly features.

Paint/Draw

Unleash your inner artist with Bamboo. Whether you are new to painting or an aspiring Picasso, Bamboo can get you started in the world of digital art. Bamboo has advanced pen technology for a natural pen on paper feel. Depending on your preference and inspiration, Bamboo can be a digital paintbrush, pencil, felt pen, airbrush, and much, much more.

For painting and drawing, Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch is the best Bamboo for you. Bundled with both Corel Painter Essentials (Bamboo Fun M only) and Adobe Photoshop Elements, Bamboo Fun is ready right out of the box to get your creative juices flowing. With its larger active area, Bamboo Fun M allows you to be more precise with your artwork and add fine details that your friends and family will enjoy.
