Editorial Review: Product Description: Wacom Graphire 6x8 Graphics Tablet - A graphics tablet gives you the ability to be more creative on your computer, and with much more precision than a mouse. Using a pressure sensitive pen, you can more easily and more naturally enhance photos, draw, paint, jot notes, write your signature, and more. It works with any program your mouse does, but Wacom will start you off on the right foot by giving you a free copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 3, Color Efex Pro 2 GE, and Corel Painter Essentials 2. Graphire Pen with Eraser 512 levels of pressure sensitivity for natural brush control Patented cordless, battery-free technology for a natural feel and superior performance 2 programmable side buttons for efficiency right at your fingertips Pressure-sensitive eraser for easy fixes Graphire Cordless Mouse Cordless, battery-free technology Scrolling finger wheel - also functions as a 3rd programmable button Optical Technology Connects to a PC or Mac via USB Color - Silver Amazon.com Product Description: Whether you're an artist, graphic designer, or business person, the Wacom Graphire4 6x8 USB Tablet can make your life a lot easier and more productive. Using the Graphire4's unique pressure-sensitive, wireless pen and tablet, you can mark up Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF documents with your hand-written comments, edit and enhance your digital photos, quickly create original digital art work, add hand-written notes to your PowerPoint presentations, hand write your email messages, and much more. Not only will the Graphire4 help your productivity soar, it will also reduce the problems associated with repetitive stress problems and bring a level of performance to your work that is not possible with a typical keyboard and mouse.
The Graphire digital pen and tablet have long been essential for graphic designers and artists. With the help of Corel Painter Essential 2, which is included with the Graphire4, the Wacom pen can give you the control you need to create just about any type of graphics you want. You simply draw your design against the tablet just as you would with a canvas or piece of blank paper. And if photography is your art of choice, the included Adobe Photoshop Elements 3, along with the included nik Color Efex Pro2 GE filter collection, will let you quickly edit and enhance your digital photos for stunning professional results. And Macintosh users can use the Graphire pen to enjoy all the digital-inking capabilities of Apple Inkwell.
Microsoft Office OneNote is specially designed for note taking. With the Graphire4, OneNote lets you capture information in several ways. For instance, you can move the cursor to any place on the screen and start writing. You can also add handwritten diagrams and pictures. If you're working with the English language version of Microsoft XP, you can also write directly in a Word document, Explorer search bar, or email, and with the help of Microsoft's handwriting recognition capabilities, your writing will be converted to text just as if you were using the keyboard. And if you've ever been in the position of reviewing documents, you know how inefficient it can be to print out your document, mark it up, then forward your comments. With Graphire4, you can convert any of your documents to Adobe PDF, digitally sign it, and mark up the documents using your pen and tablet just as you would with pen. You simply select the "pen tool" from your PDF toolbar and add your comments and revisions. When you're done, you just forward the document via email, saving several time-consuming steps.
Advanced Tools that Know Few Boundaries At the heart of the Graphire4 is a wireless, battery-free digital pen that offers 512 levels of pressure sensitivity for maximum control, two programmable side-buttons for convenience, and a pressure-sensitive eraser for easy fixes. Pressure sensitivity makes it possible to control the amount of a software tool's effect simply by varying how firmly the pen tip is pressed to the tablet, just as you would with a mechanical pen or pencil. Using a Graphire4 pen is easy because every point on the tablet has a matching point on the screen. When the pen is moved over the tablet, the cursor moves in precisely the same way on the screen. The Graphire4 tablet uses a USB connection for quick installation on both PCs and Macs. At a compact 4x5-inches, it offers a large enough area to do your work but is portable enough to be carried wherever you need to go. A transparent photo frame surrounding the work area makes the tablet easy to personalize with photos and artwork. The photo frame also contains a clever pen compartment that, along with the pen stand, provides two convenient ways to keep the pen handy and secure. The Graphire4 also features a scroll wheel right on the tablet and two programmable ExpressKeys for navigation, mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts. With a sleek silver design, the Graphire 4 will nicely complement your work station. (Note: The Graphire4 6x8 USB Tablet is also available in white and metallic blue.) The cordless, battery-free mouse offers smooth and highly accurate tracking with up to four times the resolution of an optical mouse. It features a rubberized grip for comfort, and the scrolling fingerwheel also serves as a third programmable button for convenience. By alternately using the pen and mouse, you can significantly reduce the repetitive motion that contributes to stress injuries. A rechargeable lithium polymer tablet battery provides up to 25 hours between charges, and a universal power adapter permits simultaneous tablet charging and comfortable use ExpressKeys. The Graphire4 also profits from years of research into how people use pens and tablets. Everything from the elegant shape and feel of the pen -- with its tapered waist and finger flare -- to the exact texture of the drawing surface, is designed to minimize strain and maximize comfort.
What's in the Box Graphire4 6x8 pen tablet, pen, pen stand, mouse, 2 CD-ROMs, Wacom tablet driver software, user manual, and bundled software (Adobe Photoshop Elements 3, Corel Painter Essentials 2, and nik Color Efex Pro 2 GE) Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Cheap chinese wires frayed and brokeI bought this for my daughter a bit over a year ago. I researched tablets and found a huge range of prices. I bought one of these pricier ones, hoping it would last. It didn't. Just days after the warranty expired the USB wire developed an intermittent short at the point where it goes into the tablet body. There SHOULD be a plug there so I can replace the cable, but no - it's hard-wired in. Poor design, poor quality. For almost $200 I was hoping to get something a little ... Read More Rating:  - Great for textures, and zBrush workI'm a student at the AI right now and do a lot of texture work in Photoshop for my 3d models, and started using the wacom for zBrush 3(a 3d modeling/painting tool) just recently. My first few hiccups made me a little weary. I plugged in the tablet after installing the drivers and the pressure tip didn't work, and neither did the eraser tip(worked like any other mouse pointer). I called up Wacom tech support and after a very short hold got in touch with a man who sounded like one of my ... Read More Rating: - A Tool Can Change Your LifeI've had this for months now, and I use it every single day. It completely changed my life as an artist. I now work almost exclusively in Photoshop and love it! It's a little bit like how I thought an Etch-a-Sketch should be when I was a kid. Seriously, though, there's a world of difference between trying to use a graphics program with a mouse and the tablet, even for non-drawing tools. And it's not just for art. The tablet makes surfing the web much faster as well because you can ... Read More Rating: - Wonderful! What an upgrade in Art!This product is amazing. I upgraded from the 4x5 to this 6x8 and I'm amazed at the difference. I'm finding myself enjoying it so much. My art has improved so much since I have been able to use the Tablet in Photoshop. This product allows you to draw pretty much like you would on a piece of paper. It does take some time to adjust to, but once you have it's well worth it. I am watching as my skill increases every week. Unlike older tablets, you can use pen pressure, as well ... Read More Rating: - EssentialI would have a real rough time doing what I need to do (illustrate, animate) with just a mouse. It works great, I can't think of how it could work better. I considered the larger size, but that would require a lot more arm-moving...and I'm too darn lazy for that. |
