感谢主,这几天又再次让我看到另一道曙光!
我們的客戶常說"每個人都有其對筆刷的喜好"。有些藝術家喜好較軟的筆刷,有些畫家又偏好鉛筆這種質地較硬的材質。每一款Intuos4都附有四種不同的筆尖nibs (彈性, 用力, 柔軟與標準)來模擬你最喜愛畫筆的觸感 筆尖搭配墊板 墊板可提供自然與多樣化的創作環境。
上百萬的專業創作者是Intuos為業界最佳的數位板而依賴他來從事設計工作。Intuos4更是建構在這種高標準上;他不只是有美麗外觀的數位板,在他時尚的外表下更有高超的能力。配備了新的Wacom筆尖晶片,Intuos4提供了高達2,048階級的壓力感應能力。強化的感應能力代表的是更好與更準確的表現。藝術家們表示他們在使用Intuos4時,可以在Photoshop畫出更完美的線條。
增加壓力感應不是唯一的優勢。Intuos4數位筆也可以對角度與方向做感應傾斜直 到60度,以模擬真實繪圖。數位筆的感應高度也提升到10mm以便利游標控制。如果使用Intuos4美數筆更能享有360度旋轉感應的能力,畫出更自然 柔美的線條。其他的工作數據還包含了5,080lpi(lines per inch)的數位板解析度與200pps(points per second)的資料讀取速率。
對於數位內容創作者,數位板就是他們將構想落實的畫布。Intuos4"畫布"提供在現實生活中真實畫布所不能做到的事情。當在應用軟體繪圖時,啟動精準模式就可以在較小的區域使用大筆刷,這是在一般模式下所無法做到的精準繪圖能力。
Intuos4的強化控制功能也照顧到你的顯示器。對於使用多螢幕工作的使用者而言,Intuos4有非常方便的功能顯示切換只要一個按鍵就能在螢幕間切換。顯示器可以共同由數位板控制,或是單獨運作。除了兩台顯示器同時分享數位板的工作區域,也可以執行傳統1對1的數位板絕對座標控制模式。
"顯示切換"不是唯一的便利功能。左右開弓的使用設計數位板相對於顯示器的位置可以迅速地更換。這個貼心的功能可以讓快速鍵保持正確的使用方向,無論是左手或右手使用者。配合直立式的顯示器,Intuos4也可以改為直式操作,可完全配合使用需求而自由設定。
Intuos4使用的科技重點在於新一代的Wacom數位筆感應晶片,所以Intuos4的啟動壓力簡直到了輕如鴻毛的地步。現在Intuos4可 以模擬各種筆刷輕觸畫布就立刻顯現筆跡的狀況。透過數位板內容,你可以調整數位筆的壓力曲線以模擬較軟或較硬的筆刷,或是調整啟動壓力。
新的Wacom筆尖感應晶片研發過程中也考慮到如何讓數位筆更容易使用。壓力曲線調整到最能模擬真實筆觸的最佳狀況,2048階的壓力感應也給予畫筆筆刷大小與透明度最穩定的控制力。新的筆尖感應晶片也使得數位筆對壓力表現更快的反應。

我們了解到在傳統藝術創作中,藝術家常常利用傾斜畫筆來達製造特別的效果。因此我們也將傾斜感應功能加入Intuos數位筆。它可以感應畫筆傾斜的方向與角度達60度,可以在Adobe Photoshop、Corel Painter與其他支援傾斜畫筆的軟體中運用。
每英吋5080線條的數位板解析度將畫面表現的更細緻與完美
過去20年中,Wacom革命性地的建立數位板的產業,使得利用數位科技模擬傳統創作的希望成真。利用數位科技,創意專家們不只是工作更有效率,並且能探索更多創意的空間。
具備最新與改良功能的Intuos4是經過數年研發,與參考使用者意見與軟體夥伴如Abobe, Autodesk與Corel合作發展下的產品,注重質感、功能與更優表現的數位筆科技,並且致力增加工作流程的順暢。在這個單元中,我們會仔細地介紹 Intuos4如何帶給藝術工作者哪些優勢。
在Wacom專利之外 數位板科技, Intuos4數位板的設計附有許多方便的功能,讓你的工作流程更平順。
The Intuos4 ambidextrous design puts all the ExpressKeys and the Touch Ring on the side of your non-dominant hand so that you can have your most frequently used shortcuts and other convenient functions at your fingertips.
我們提供了眾多的功能,你會迫不及待地要設定Intuos4快速鍵:
我 們希望你確實掌握快速鍵的功能設定,所以我們將OLED快速鍵顯示器裝置於 M, L與XL尺寸的Intuos4。可以在不同應用軟體下各自定義快速鍵(在Wacom數位板內容設定),顯示器會讓您隨時掌握快速鍵功能。充分利用快速鍵, 你可以減少對電腦鍵盤的依賴,並提昇工作效率。
我們的軟體夥伴,將旋轉畫布功能加入他們的產品。我們用觸控環取代Intuos3的觸控列。並且更進一步將切換鍵置於觸控環中間,給予觸控環4種功能。縮放畫面、在某些軟體中旋轉畫面、與調整筆刷大小,或是透明度等。
