Using The Airbrush - Wacom Intuos 3 User Manual

Using the Airbrush

The optional Intuos3 Airbrush works like the pen, but also includes a fingerwheel for an additional degree of
control. With proper software support, you can simulate realistic airbrushing. For example, tilting the
Airbrush can cause the spray pattern to elongate and feather out. Rolling the fingerwheel can adjust the
spray intensity, and pressure on the tip can control the brush size.
All other functions work similarly to the pen. For additional information, see
Important: When the Airbrush is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of
your Airbrush tip, do not store the Airbrush in a container where it will rest on its tip. Leaving an
Intuos3 tool on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing
devices.
Hold the Airbrush with your thumb and middle finger. The fingerwheel should be in a convenient location for
you to roll it with your index finger. Tilt the Airbrush to find a comfortable position that allows you to paint and
draw with pressure-sensitivity.
For Windows, the side switch is set for a R
default. For Macintosh, the switch is set for D
Roll the fingerwheel backwards to increase ink flow
or brush size, and forward to reduce it.
Your index finger should operate the wheel
independently of the pressure you apply to the tip.
