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 purchased a Wacom Bamboo4 years ago and just found it difficult to use. A few years later I found myself doing a lot of editing in Photoshop and the mouse just wasn’t cutting the mustard. There is no finesse with a mouse. I picked up the Bamboo and realized the tablet is the future for serious editing. I forced myself to use it for a week and it clicked. Next step, get the pro version. I love the Intuos Pro. All the shortcuts at my fingertips and the pen is so much more responsive. I went with the small based on recommendation from an All Star pro retoucher. Glad I did, it’s the perfect size. Setting up the pen and the tablet was far easier than the reviews here indicate. It took me 10 minutes to initially set it up. I’ve changed the settings since and may make a few more changes until I get exactly what I want. No problem, it only takes a minute to open the dashboard and switch. The wireless function is nice also. Get one!

After picking up the pen I haven’t picked up the mouse again. Love using the pen touch tablet !! It’s perfect fit for my work space.

I previously owned one of Wacom’s Bamboo models with half the sensitivity as this Intuos Pro. This is a phenomenal tool for the photographer interested in fine detail retouching and creating beautiful photographs. Consider the small Intuos Pro if you’re a photographer. The larger tablets are better suited to the needs of graphic designers.

I use the pen in Photoshop. It is buggy in that some Photoshop shortcuts don’t work (specifically the cntrl+alt right click to increase/decrease the brush size). Tried uninstall/reinstall, updating drivers, playing with settings to no avail. Had to search the internet for workaround requiring adding a text file to the ‘settings” folder to get it to work, but is still unreliable. Also, in Lightroom, the pen tool does not behave when using sliders. No workaround for this one.

Even if I was just upgrading my last 5-year-old Intuos 4, this tablet is a smaller footprint with a bigger actual work area, and seems to be more responsive to and compatible with the last updates of Windows 10. And thats all I could ask for — plus it has a nice smooth work area with no surface seams. Love it. Even the better-designed pen holder is a plus.

As a advanced hobbyist photographer who uses Lightroom and PS, I sought a tool to improve my post processing. The Wacom tablet enables me to more efficiently and accurately do the things I wanted to do. Having used a mouse for all my previous work, it took time to transition to a pen. Don’t give up! After watching numerous videos on set-up and use, and despite claims by many in these videos, it take practice (a lot of trial and error) to master the pen and tablet. As my skills improved, my work improved as well. My overarching comment is it’s worth the time and effort to realize the potential that the tablet offers for photo editing and creative enhancement.

Friend had older version told me I needed one but I didn’t believe him. I finally got the intuos pro medium and it makes not only 3d sculpting much easier it actually makes it possible to sketch. One thing I would say is go as big as you can afford the medium works for my 21in monitor but the small would deffinatly be way to small.

This tablet is the perfect compliment to photoshop. The wireless capability is wonderful, allowing me to put the tablet exactly where I want it for ergonomics. I used this with a 27″ iMac Pro. For those who may think this tablet is too small for a screen that size, I can assure you it works perfectly! Not once have I had an issue with the size and I actually love the portability being able to use it with my laptop on the go.

I have had Wacom tablets from adb to serial com to USB… My niggles have never been with the quality of Wacom tablets but their lack of legacy support. Could I have used my intuos 2 tablet… yeah, but the lack of software support on Wacom’s side dooms them to a bleak future.

Those of you who are familiar with tablets will appreciate the exquisite technology incorporated into this input device. The tablet, with two thousand levels of pressure sensitivity, performs flawlessly and is, in this writer’s opinion, an indispensable tool for image editing.

I am not new to Mac but this Wacom gave a a full day of trying to figure out how to install the drivers, it took many many attempts to get it right, I have many downloaded apps for the web in my Mac and none gave me such a hard time to get it right

The Intuos Pro is a pleasure to use with Lightroom and Photoshop. It only took several days to get comfortable with and after about a week my efficiency was on par with the mouse. I expect I will soon be much more efficient with the tablet. Brush work is definitely more intuitive with the dynamic flow and shape capabilities. I love the tablet but am not thrilled with the wireless kit. It shuts off when running wirelessly.

I have been using Wacom pen tablets for over 15 years…so dependable and user friendly. This model is definitely not up to Wacom standards of the previous models. It loses its connection and I must disconnect it to get it back on course; this happens at least once daily. This never happened with the dependable older models. Very disappointing.

I use this for photo editing and photo manipulations. I love that I can set it up for my left hand and just flip it around. I have yet to use it wirelessly, but I know that it will be handy as I am sometimes working at a very small desk.

We purchased this product for one of our CAD Designers to use on her Workstation. She has enjoyed it since we plugged it in. The functionality is smooth and so is the integration. We have also used one of these Tablets for White Boarding in Microsoft Lync with great success. The users are able to make annotations on worksheets while speaking to a customer anywhere in the world.
