Wacom's new Graphire4 pen tablet costs less, does more and puts a little extra
fun into your job. It lets you edit photos the way people were intended to: by
writing with a pen on a tablet. You can jot notes with it too. This new model
includes a cordless, battery-free pen and mouse, a tablet and five software programs.
Using the natural control of the pen and the included software, it is easy
to enhance photos and to edit photos or create artwork.
Pen
The comfortable Graphire4 pen offers 512 levels of pressure sensitivity for
control, two programmable side-buttons for convenience and a pressure-sensitive
eraser for easy fixes. Pressure sensitivity makes it possible to control the
amount of a software tool's effect simply by varying how firmly the pen tip
is pressed to the tablet. Using a Graphire4 pen is easy because every point
on the tablet has a matching point on the screen. When the pen is moved over
the tablet the cursor moves in precisely the same way on the screen.
Mouse
The mouse is ball-free so tracking is always smooth and highly accurate with
up to four times the resolution of an optical mouse. It features a rubberized
grip for comfort and the scrolling fingerwheel also serves as a third programmable
button for convenience. Alternately using the pen and mouse reduces repetitive
motion.
Tablet
The tablet uses a USB connection for quick installation on both PCs and Macs.
Its transparent photo frame makes the tablet easy to personalize with photos
and artwork. The photo frame also contains a clever pen compartment that, along
with the pen stand, provides two convenient ways to keep the pen handy and secure.
The Graphire4 now features a scroll wheel right on the tablet and two programmable
ExpressKeys for navigation, mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts.
