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 been a long time fan of Wacom products. I love this small Intuos Pro. I edit photographs on my laptop in my family room and the small size works perfectly. Using a Wacom tablet is like flying in first class or, let’s say, on-line banking. Once you do it, you will never want to go back. There is a small learning curve but then, you are home free. Photograph manipulation with a mouse just doesn’t get it. That’s like slicing bread with a fork. The pen & tablet of the Wacom tablet is the best, natural, and fastest way to do it.

I use it primarily to edit photos in Lightroom. It is better than mouse for that purpose. However, it takes some time to learn and to adjust your mouse habits. Also, it might be a little too sensitive. This should be easy to adjust in the settings though.

I was hesitant to buy the Wacom Pro Medium but saw so many great videos I decided to buy one. It was very easy to set up. And, yes, it does take practice, but I love using the brush to edit my photos in Photoshop. I was constantly changing the opacity of my brush using the mouse, but with the Wacom pen, I don’t have to do that anymore. Also it is easier to do detail work. I only use the Wacom for Photoshop, my mouse for anything else. However, I am glad I bought it and will continue to improve my skill with it. Also, customer service is important to me and when I had a few questions about setting it up on my Mac with bluetooth, I did an online chat around 8pm at night to get it sorted out. I appreciate that customer support.

I had a small Wacom Intuos tablet years ago. This tablet is so much better! After reading many reviews including one that showed recommended tablet size based on monitor size/resolution, I bought the medium instead of the small, and the Pro version instead of the cheaper one for the extra sensitivity levels. (I have a 27 Imac). The medium tablet is a perfect size for drawing directly into Photoshop, without being too large for my desk. The pen is so smooth, it just glides which makes accurate drawing and corrections easy. The programmable express keys are a real time saver. I was getting carpal tunnel symptoms from drawing too many hours with paper and pencil. Since I switched to the tablet, I have no pain or numbness in my hand or elbow- an unexpected benefit. It was frustrating for the first five minutes, until I got the scrolling, etc set up to my preferences; now I wouldn’t be without it. For photo retouching I would have been satisfied with the cheaper tablet, but for drawing this is absolutely worth the extra cost. Highly recommended!

My only regret is not buying this earlier. My other friends who’re fashion photographers have been using it but I was nervous to take the plunge as I thought it’d be hard to get used to but now I can’t edit without it. I can’t believe I was using a trackpad this whole time. This allows you to be way more precise in Photoshop. My portrait retouches look way more professional now after only a week. I don’t draw so I can only speak to how it’s helped me in photoshop.

This is my first time with a Wacom Tablet. I have a IMAC 27 with 5k monitor. I’ve bee using the Mac trackpad for professional photo editing in Photoshop. I am still getting used to the switch to the Wacom tablet, especially two things: The touch control is sweet but a bit different than the track pad, especially having to remember to use three fingers to highlight multiple items and to move files/folders. The other thing that takes a while to get used to is the way the pen works. The pen position over the wacom tablet places the cursor over a relative position on the screen. (This is different than the touch feature which works the same as the mac trackpad). PROBLEM: the medium wacom tablet is so large that trying to use the pen to click on things on various parts of the screen often requires lifting my whole arm rather than just pivoting my wrist. I think the small Intous might be a better choice in this one regard. I now use my wacom to completely replace my mac track pad, except for a few things. With a little more practice I think the mac track pad will completely go away.

I’ve been using a Bamboo tablet for several years. I decided it was time to upgrade. I was concerned about what size the tablet would be, since it is called the Small, but it’s actually a little larger than my Bamboo was. It was a very fluid switch. The Intuos look very nice and is extensive comfortable.

Excellent product that greatly enhances my art business. No more trying to draw with my mouse. This tablet has been a game changer. Fast shipping and delivery, also.

Definitely worth the money. If u spend hours in photoshop this is a necessity. A traditional mouse make my hand cramp up after an hour or 2. This solves that issue

Not much to say, it’s a Wacom and if you are in need of a tablet you can go wrong with a Wacom. I bought this to carry and use with my MacBook Pro. It’s the smallest of the Intuos Pro line and meets all my needs.

Very nice tablet, I am new to using a tablet for editing/design so there is a bit of a learning curve, but once you play around with it and get the hang of it, it’s great. I do have some problems using the wifi adapter as it seems to drop connection, but using the USB cord it works fine.

I use this with my Adobe Suite (mostly Photoshop), coupled with my iMac. It has a long battery life when synced via bluetooth (my usual setup). Takes some practice to get used to pen/tablet editing, but I’ve found the learning curve is not too steep. Latest project has been to colorize and old black and white photo. Results were amazing. Wonderful product.

I can’t say enough good things about Wacom’s Intuos Pro tablets! I have used mine for years, just purchased a new smaller one for on the go retouching, and have recommended it to MANY friends. My MOM also uses one and loves it!

Everything you want in a tablet. I switched this smaller size at work from the large and it’s a much better fit for me. I primarily edit photos with edit and remove products from their background. The large just took up too much space.

Using for Lightroom & Perfect Photo software. Very ease to set-up.

I have been doing my work in Photoshop with a mouse or a tracker pad. It worked but was less accurate and didn’t have the pressure sensitive feature of the Wacom tablet. The pressure sensitivity is worth buying the tablet alone. The tablet has so many ways it can be customized allowing you to work the way you work. I am glad I made the purchase. It does have a steep learning curve as you adjust to working with the pen and tablet. Also, I was considering the large tablet but bought the medium instead and am very glad I did. The large would require a lot of desktop real estate.
