Review - Wacom Intuos Pro Tablet

The Wacom Intuos Pro Tablet is the latest tool from Wacom for creatives who work with digital media. Wacom was founded in 1983, and has held the majority of the market share for digitizers ever since. In fact, most creative professionals are deeply attached to, if not in love with, their Wacom Tablets. Educators have long utilized these tools to bridge the haptic world to the anesthetic touch-free palette of digital imaging software. The vast majority of tools in applications like Photoshop or Corel Painter are “tablet aware” and the moment you plug in a tablet, the tools respond to pressure, angle, erasure, and programmable hot keys. What does the newest Wacom Intuos Pro Tablet promise users? Read our review to find out!
