, for a list of compatible applications.) The Graphire ships with MetaCreations’ $99 Painter Classic 1.0.2 and Wacom PenTools, a set of Photoshop-compatible plug-ins.Īlthough the pen is ideal for drawing, it can’t replace a mouse or trackball for most routine Mac work. The pressure-sensitive tip and eraser are compatible with a broad selection of graphics programs, including Adobe Photoshop and MicroFrontier’s Color It. Whether you’re creating a masterpiece from scratch or retouching a digital photo of your kids, the pen makes it a joy to manipulate almost any type of digital drawing tool. You can also use the control panel to adjust the pen’s tip or eraser sensitivity, and you can program the tablet to recognize only a portion of the 4-by-5-inch active area. Wacom’s control panel lets you program each end of the switch to perform a different function, including clicking, double-clicking, or entering simple keyboard sequences such as command-shift-S. The stylus sports a pressure-sensitive tip, an eraser, and a dual-action rocker switch in the middle. The Graphire’s smoothly tapered pen is comfortable to hold, and when you’re not using it, you can stow it in a handy removable receptacle at the top of the tablet.
