The Intuos Pro Paper Edition Creative Pen Tablet from Wacom is a flexible graphical tablet that can be used to digitize your work, and by flexible, we don’t mean bendable. By itself, the Intuos Pro is a standard drawing tablet that connects to your system via USB or Bluetooth. It has eight customizable ExpressKeys and a Touch Ring to assist you with your workflow, and comes with the Wacom Pro Pen 2, which has 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity.
This Paper edition includes a Paper Clip, a Finetip Pen, and ten sheets of A5 paper, allowing you to sketch on paper and store your work without having to be online or connected to a computer. The Intuos Pro is compatible with the Wacom Pro Pen 2, and in “Paper Mode”, you can use either the Finetip Pen, a ballpoint pen, or even a pencil. To share your sketches right away, connect to your iOS or Android device using Bluetooth.

I have had this tablet for about 4 months and to be honest i havent used it a whole lot until recently. Sad to say it’s not worth the money and I wish I had found out sooner. I have changed the sensitivity setting multiple times but it still cant handle my palm touching it or getting close. but the biggest thing is that when I turn it on it will say its now connected but wont do anything. I literally have to restart my entire computer and then turn the tablet back on to have it recognize its own pen, let alone my touch. And that with the dang thing plugged into the computer. Super unsatisfied, going to see what my options are for returns but like I said, its been a few months. I literally dont use it because it is nothing but a hassle.

This is great for editing purposes, but unit seems to disconnect if you stop and rest for a bit. Needs to be updated so I do not need to restart my PC every time this happens.

Should have purchased this long ago! Initial setup (connecting and loading driver) easy. Adjusting to the touch and where and what things are takes a little time, now more than most tools and less than most. Overall it has decreased work time and increased accuracy in my work. I use it with Photoshop and Lightroom. Overall I absolutely love it. Glad I didn’t get the large size, would have had no room on my desk for it.

I have owned a Medium tablet for 4 – 5 years. It worked perfect except I wanted to save space. Really enjoy the smaller size.

I had an Intuos 4 Large that worked great, however it was far larger than necessary so I “upgraded” to the Intuos Pro Medium. I miss the Intuos 4 LED readouts next to the ExpressKeys simply because they became a peripheral guide for my fingers when working in darker conditions, I’m sure I’ll get used to not having them. My nibs used to last months. After the first few days with the Pro Pen 2 the nib had already worn down a sizable amount. Not sure if the nibs are softer now or the surface is rougher but something has changed. I imagine I’ll get used to this too and work lighter. I didn’t buy it for the bluetooth but thought it’d be a nice option when I wanted to use it with my MBP, nope. It works but it lags and is not really all that usable so its just always plugged in. Seems to be the same story with everyone else I’ve talked to about bluetooth as well. All in all, I can’t live without my Wacom tablet, and this thing works great for the most part. But I would still be perfectly happy with my old Intuos 4 as well, if only it wasn’t so a darned big.

Good for 3D, editing and color correction but small for drawing.

So I’ve owned 5 Wacom tablets over the last 10 yrs. the first three wore out because the cords developed shorts ( overuse lol) the last two I’ve owned were both intuos pro with wireless adaptors. For some reason after moving my first wireless intuos pro quit working. I’m just assuming that there must have been a trauma that occurred during the move because it wouldn’t charge or turn on afterward. I tried two other brands (visitablet and monoprice) and nothing comes close to Wacom. No matter how many I wear out I will always be a Wacom customer. I hope that I will learn to be a bit gentler with my tablets in the future (or Wacom will build them a bit sturdier), but Wacom is definitely worth the extra $$!

Intuos Pro M died within 2 months. Got the RMA label from Wacom to send the defective unit today and Wacom does not cover shipping.

Problems with Photoshop CC, apparently caused by latest update.

This clearly gives opportunity for incredible control of the brush tool in Photoshop. Does it take getting used to? Of course. And you’ll have to learn to turn on/off pen pressure controls in PS where you need to, but once you learn how to manage the controls, I think it’s great! BUT, …I will say that I’ve already had a glitch with it. One day it started acting like I was touching the surface and I wasn’t. I wanted to throw it through a wall, and couldn’t figure out the problem. However, I removed and replaced the tip in the stylus and it seems to be behaving now.

As a photographer for over 12 years I have used an Intuos 5 for many years. I love the touch feature for general browsing and the space on the small tablet is just right. I have a 27″ display and the small covers the space beautifully. I was anxious reading previous reviews but have not one complaint! Beyond happy with my purchase!

My editing process is definitely smoother, take some getting use to, but once you customize your settings you’ll be golden. Why I didn’t give five stars is because I feel like the pen points wear quickly. However, you do have extras in the base of the holder. Overall solid product and got it quick through B&H

The tablet is not actually small or tiny, as advertised, but exactly of the same size as the middle sized tablet. Just the touch sensitive area is located in the middle, and remaining part is virtually cropped, what is indicated by the glowing corners. Pretty sure, the hardware inside allows to make the size of the tiniest panel to be less sizable, much more portable, even bu sacrificing some buttons or non-essential features. But what the heck, it works, and it’s cheaper. Personally, even for professional high end retouching I never need middle or large tablet, ergonomically speaking. I wish Wacom in the future to make our life easier and much more enjoyable. I love a spontaneous usage of the panel and ability to take it with you everywhere, and use any tiny corner of the small kitchen table or a spot near the window, etc…

As a first time tablet user, I find the fastest way to learn is just remove your mouse, hide it, lock it away, and force yourself to do EVERYTHING with the tablet. After a week, you’ll think how you survived without a pen & tablet all these years.

Coming from a 2008 Intous tablet was pleasant. Attractive and nicely customizable.

I’ve been using a Wacom tablet for years and wanted to upgrade to get the bluetooth connection feature. Very happy I did so!

I’ve been using Wacom tablets for almost 20 years, and this is by far the best one I’ve used. A nice large workspace with hot keys, scroll wheel built in, and having the option to go wireless is incredibly handy. Their products have always let me work at the speed of thought, and each time I upgrade, it becomes better and better.

I am new with this type of devices, I only have a few days to use it and it is wonderful, I still have to adapt to its use. At the moment I see it great to edit photos in Photoshop.
