The Intuos4 pen responds to your hand movements, enabling you to create natural-looking pen and brush 
strokes.  Many graphics applications have drawing tools that respond to the pressure you place on the pen.  
The 

 tools in Microsoft Windows Vista and Office 2007 also respond to the pressure you place on 

the pen.

The tablet recognizes when you tilt the pen from vertical to inclined positions.  In some drawing applications, 
tilt can be used to control line shape and thickness.  This is like working with an airbrush where tilt can be 
used to make a line thin when the tool is vertical, or wide when the tool is tilted.  In other applications, you 
can adjust tilt to define brush characteristics such as width, color, and opacity.

To draw with pressure sensitivity, first 
select a pressure-sensitive tool from your 
application’s tool palette.  Then draw 
along the surface of the tablet while 
applying various amounts of pressure 
downward on the tip of the pen.  

Press hard for thick lines or dense color, 
and press gently for thin lines or softer 
color.

To adjust the tip feel, see 

Visit our web site for a list of applications 
that support pressure.  See 

To test tilt, draw a curve in a graphics 
application (such as Painter) that supports 
tilt.  Be sure the tilt function in your 
application is active, then change the tilt of 
the pen as you draw to vary the shape 
and thickness of the brush stroke.

As an example, when the brush shape 
dynamics in Adobe Photoshop have been 
configured for tilt operation, tilting the pen 
results in an elongated pattern.  
This simulates the effects of an airbrush 
spray that is angled away from the paint 
surface.

To adjust the amount of pen tilt required to 
produce a desired tilt effect in your 
application, see
