Wacom were kind enough to send me a new one so I could compare to my much older model I’ve been using. They come in a number of sizes, but I have always found the smaller size adequate for my needs, plus it’s also easy to travel with. It really does come everywhere with me. The model I am using for this post is the Intuos Pro ( ). The pen also responds to pressure, which can be linked with some functionality in Capture One Pro and as well as to other applications. The latest models also act like a large trackpad, so if you want a break from pen holding, you can simply activate the touch sensitivity and use it like you would use a laptop trackpad. It may take a short time to adjust, but once you have, you won’t regret it! So, apart from comfort, why else use a Wacom tablet? If you haven’t tried one before, my advice is to certainly give it a go. I do not even have a mouse anymore or feel the need to get one. Since then, I have never looked back and I use my Wacom all day every day for every single application. Whilst looking sleek, it was an ergonomical disaster and soon led to RSI in hand wrist and arm. At the time, I was creating cutting paths for about 7-8 hours per day, so maybe I’m being hard on the mouse, but something had to change. I began using a tablet after struggling with the worst mouse design of the century, the infamous Apple ‘Hockey Puck’ mouse. It is almost three years ago since I wrote on this blog about using a Wacom tablet with Capture One Pro ( Work faster by customizing your Wacom tablet in Capture One Pro 7), so I thought it was about time for an update!
