Features & Benefits

Easy to use. It's easy to use a pen tablet because every point on the tablet has a matching point on the screen. When you move your pen over the tablet, the cursor moves in precisely the same way on the screen. Where you touch your pen tip to the tablet is where you click.

Pressure sensitivity. With 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, you can control your software tools by changing how hard you press the pen tip on the tablet. Using pressure sensitivity, you can dynamically control things like exposure, brush size, opacity, and more.

Intuos3 Pen Tablet. The sloping, contoured palm rest provides comfort while you work. Adjust your cord position vertically or horizontally for greater workspace flexibility. The eight-foot cable allows you to kick back while you work.

ExpressKeys Strategically placed programmable ExpressKeys are "chordable" and can be used for mouse clicks, modifier keys, open/run applications, pop-up menus, and keyboard shortcuts.

Touch strips. Finger-sensitive Touch Strips allow you to quickly scroll, zoom, change brush size, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars made all the difference, January 3, 2007
This review is from: Wacom Intuos3 12X19 Pen Tablet (PTZ1231W) (Personal Computers)
If you are an artist with a skilled hand, this is a great tool. I can draw directly on it and the image appears on the screen. A smaller tablet works for most software applications, but the larger size is important to me because it allows me to trace my larger works as well as giving me the freedom to move around the page.
If most of your artwork is done with the clicking of amouse, then don't get a large pad. But get a pad. It is great to go between a mouse and a stylus since the stylus gives you more drawing options. But, as I said, if you are a drawing artist, you will love this tablet. If the price is holding you back - get over it. Be good to yourself. A mouse will never draw what your hand can.

This review is from: Wacom Intuos3 12X19 Pen Tablet (PTZ1231W) (Personal Computers)
As a previous owner of an 9 x 12 intuos2 tablet with a number of years of use, I ended up ordering the 12 x 19 Intuos3 on a whim. I'd read some reviews that said owns of the Intuos2 model really didn't need to upgrade. But I have to say I'm glad I did.

First thing you notice, is its massive size, it takes up quite a bit more space than my old 9 x 12, but mirrors my 20in iMac's exstended screen much better.
Second I immediately noticed an improved level of sensitivity, which allows for much more control and line quality.
Third Wacom has gotten rid of the strip of commands along the top of the main drawing area and replaced it with several programmable buttons and a scrolling pad on each side of the tablet. What I'm finding is I use these much more often than the old setup.

Unquestionably I've found this tablet to be an essential new addition to my digital toolkit.

I spent a long time reading reviews and researching before I bought. I do not regret it. I love this graphics pad. I am still learning all I can do with it. I did buy a used copy of PhotoShop 3 extended to enhance my fun. (My boyfriend thinks Elements is a baby program but it worked great for me!!!!) If you love to draw and you love to enhance other art work, this is the way to go. Yum, yum, yum! <3
