It’s easy to overlook the importance of the drawing tablet’s surface texture. The way you use the tablet and the quality of your drawing is directly impacted by this parameter. Wacom tablets have consistently been recognized for their precise surface texture. The Wacom Intuos is the same way. With the Intuos Pro, you may modify the form of your stroke by tilting the pen. However, it is only possible if both the brush and the application you’re using are capable of it. Intuos does not have this option. However, it’s interesting to try just to see if or not it assists you in your workflow. Likewise, Multi-touch on the Intuos Pro can be a nice feature, allowing you to browse, zoom, and pan with your fingers. Still, its utility is entirely up to you.

Electromagnetic radiation powers the Wacom Intuos tablet’s pen with no batteries or chargers. A practical and low-maintenance pen is what you get. Pen-to-software communication is instantaneous, thanks to the pen’s ergonomics and functionality identical to those of a standard pen. Compared to a standard computer mouse, it does not impose as much pressure on your wrist even after long hours of usage.

The most important considerations are their respective designs and sizes when choosing between these two Wacom tablets. If you’re looking for a device to help enhance your talents, you’ll want to pay attention to these factors. There is a noticeable difference in the amount of desk space taken up by the Wacom Intuos and Intuos Pro tablets. Despite this, the amount of active space in each is relatively similar. The Intuos Pro’s replacement nibs are stored in the pen stand’s spherical steel construction. When drawing on a tablet, you can use a conventional nib or a felt nib. These two pens don’t need charging, so they’re always ready to go. Wacom Intuos vs Pro: Quality and Reliability The vast degree of pressure responsiveness in the Pro Pen 2 is something I really appreciated, especially when it came to dodging, burning and light retouching. Press hard and the results are more pronounced, use a lighter touch and everything is more subtle. If you are particularly heavy-handed you can adjust the overall sensitivity of the pen. The difference between the Wacom pen and a mouse is like hand-writing a note with a fine-tipped Sharpie versus a paint roller Also of note is that I observed no noticeable lag time between tablet and computer screen when it was connected via USB. The Bluetooth connection also seemed quite good, though I did notice a little bit of latency when using the paintbrush tool for extended periods of time. You can only use Intuos’s stylus because it does not enable touch gestures or recognize your fingers as a pen input device.

The Wacom Pro Pen 2 is comfortable to hold for long periods of time, and has impressive pressure sensitivity The Wacom Intuos Pro tablet is thinner and lighter than its predecessor, so it occupies less real-estate on your desk. Despite this, the active area is larger thanks to a slimmer bezel and he surface plate can be swapped for a variety of different textures depending on your preferences. The Wacom Intuos Pro is designed to imitate a large piece of paper The textured surface of the Intuos Pro is scratch-resistant. To manage your pen when sketching, it offers a bit of resistance. The tablet’s texture also mimics the feel of paper. It’s one of those little extras that make sketching more enjoyable. It had been a number of years since I’d used a tablet for photo editing, and I can confirm that the learning curve was certainly there. But after a bit of practice with the pen and tablet I found the process of retouching scanned negatives in Adobe Photoshop to be more precise, faster and less taxing on my wrist than it would have been if I were using a mouse. Put another way, the difference between retouching with the Wacom pen vs. the mouse is like hand-writing a note with a fine tipped Sharpie vs a paint roller. The eraser is precise as well. I found it to be particularly helpful when creating multi-layer image compositions.Wacom software is licensed “AS IS” and with all faults.

And while it was useful for cloning and healing, I found it to be a little unwieldy when making adjustments to the slider. Ultimately I think I still prefer utilizing the mouse and the keyboard shortcuts that have been burned into my muscle memory for Lightroom work. Bottom line Although I still resorted to using the mouse now and then, those occasions grew less frequent over the two weeks I spent in testing the Intuos Pro Small. There is a learning curve for people who haven't used a graphics tablet before, and although I wouldn't say that I mastered its use, I was well on my way. Should I ever need to up my photography game, or simply want to invest money in a creative accessory for my laptop, I would give strong consideration to the Intuos Pro Small and its larger siblings. Pen resolution and pressure sensitivity are two-fold in the Wacom Intuos Pro over its non-Pro counterpart. Pen pressure can go up to 4096 on Wacom Intuos and up to 8192 on Intuos Pro. Your technique and skill level will determine how often you can use this feature, but having a more comprehensive range is excellent to have when you need it.
