There is a little flexing, although I’m not too concerned by it. It’s nicely finished and feels good in your hands. Although, personally, I’ll be leaving this one at home, as I usually carry a couple of micro USB cables in my camera bag anyway. It also has a built-in cable wrap so that when you need to pack it up to go, it’s not just a tangled mess in your bag. This means it should stand up much longer to the rigors of daily life. Unlike most USB cables which are plastic coated, this one is silicone coated. On lifting the tablet, in various slots in the box underneath I saw a USB cable, the Wacom pen, and basic setup instructions & warranty information. So it was a novel experience to pull it out of the box and not see a cable dangling below. This is the first Wacom tablet I’ve used that has had any kind of wireless capability. The tablet I’m using is the Medium size Wacom Intuos with Bluetooth. On opening the box, I’m confronted with the tablet itself. A small tablet with long battery life is ideal for when I’m working away from home with the laptop.

The new Intuos tablets are smaller than the previous generation while keeping the same drawing area, and the Bluetooth models claim 60% longer life. Straightening awkward feathers on birds, and touching up a snake or lizard’s scales, there are countless retouching tasks with animals that you just don’t think about until you’ve tried it.Īnimals are something I’m starting to get back into photographing again recently, though, so my need for a good tablet has resurfaced. And that’s what made me perk up when I first saw the new Wacom Intuos announcement.
Getting every hair on a dog perfectly aligned and rid of the strays that seem to cling all over their body and fly all over the floor. Most of my retouching work in the past has actually been with animals, not humans. And retouching is where Wacom tablets really excel to help photographers speed up their workflow.
My needs have changed over time, and I don’t need to do as much retouching as I once did. I have to admit that I tend to not use a graphics tablet these days quite as often as I used to.
