Author: Aaron Rutten - Published March 21, 2018 What is the Intuos? The is a tablet that plugs into your computer and allows you to control art and design software with a pen.

You can use the Intuos to create drawings, paintings, 3D sculpting, note taking, graphic design and more. The new Intuos was released in March 2018, and there are a few different options available. ​ Options There are three options available: Small (no Bluetooth), Small (with Bluetooth) and Medium (with Bluetooth). This is definitely a lot less confusing than the previous model, where they had the Intuos Comic, Draw, Art, Photo and 3D. That was just too many versions. The model I am reviewing is the Medium version with Bluetooth. Compatibility The new Intuos is compatible with Mac, and PC or Windows.

The minimum operating system is Windows 7, and Mac OSX 10.11. It cannot be paired via Bluetooth to an iPad or Android tablet.

The Intuos tablet connects via USB to your computer. It does not have a built in screen that shows you what you're drawing, you'll have to draw on the tablet and then look up at a separate monitor. It sounds difficult, but it's really not that hard. Just in case you're wondering, the connection used is your standard USB type A. It's not USB-C. The new Intuos is very easy to install, all you have to do is just plug it into your computer, go to Wacom's website and download the driver, install it, and then your tablet should be working. In order to be able to create with the tablet, you'll also need some.

If your tablet is not working and you need help, check out my, or contact Wacom for tech support. What's Different from Previous Generations?

The reason being (apologies if this is obvious) that the software is provided by separate companies (not Wacom) and therefore the license agreements are for one piece of software. It would be like buying Adobe Photoshop Elements for OS X and expecting Adobe to send you a Windows version when you get a new PC. I bought the Wacom Inutos Draw a few month ago and stumbled upon the box. Was a software bundle download and I went on the website.

Now let's dive a little bit deeper and let's talk about what's new with this tablet compared to previous generations. Colors The first thing you might notice are the color options. I have the black version, but that's not new, because the previous generation also had a black version. But there is also a Pistachio green version, and a Berry colored version. Pen The pen has been improved on the new Intuos.

There is now over 4,000 levels of pen pressure, which means that you can get really nice, smooth transitions between opacity and line width, and it feels a lot more natural to draw. In previous models, you only had 2,000 pressure levels, and if you go back to the generation before that, it was only around 1,000 levels. Dbx ddp digital dynamics processor manual. And just to put things in context, the more professional models only go up to around 8,000 pressure levels. Bluetooth (Wireless) Bluetooth is available on the 'Small Bluetooth' and Medium models only. Bluetooth is a wireless technology, so you can simply unplug the tablet from USB and you can use it wirelessly.

You can be sitting across the room while making artwork instead of tethered to a computer. There is a button at the top-center of the Intuos which you can use to pair the Bluetooth to your computer.

When you have it plugged in through USB, you don't have to worry about charging it, the USB connection powers the tablet. Bundled Software Another difference is the that comes with the Intuos. You have a few different options depending on the model that you get. Since I have the medium size, I can download three different pieces of software.

I can get ClipStudio Paint Pro, Corel Aftershot 3. • Small (without Bluetooth) - You can only download one of either Corel Painter Essentials 6 or Corel Aftershot. (ClipStudio Paint is not available for this version). • Small (with Bluetooth) - You can choose two out of the three options. • Medium (with Bluetooth) - You can download all 3 options. The software is available for Mac or Windows, but you can only choose one operating system. Choose wisely because once you make a choice, you are stuck with it.

Pen Tray Another difference is that there's a pen tray integrated with the Express Keys. So for example, you can set the pen in the tray and it won't roll away, unless of course the tablet is tilted. The pen can fall out of the tray, but for the most part, the tray will hold it in place. A more secure option would be to slide the pen into the sleeve that is attached to the top of the Intuos. Tablet Thickness Another difference is the thickness of the tablet. It's now much thinner, it's around 8.8 millimeters, which is about a similar thickness to a modern smartphone. The new Intuos is also much lighter than previous versions, but it's still very durable.
