News a Safe Harbor blog Wacom Pen Input Livens Adobe Creative Suite 4 0 Posted by Safe Harbor Staff October 7, 2008 If you enjoy this post, please share it! Wacom® today announced support for Adobe® Creative Suite® 4, officially launched yesterday, providing significant workflow advantages and numerous ways for users working with a Wacom pen tablet or interactive pen display to naturally express their creative ideas and enhance productivity. Adobe’s creative professional software applications work exceptionally well with Wacom’s natural pen input solutions. Whether retouching a photo in Adobe Photoshop® CS4, completing a drawing in Adobe Illustrator® CS4, constructing an interactive document with Adobe InDesign® CS4, or creating a new animated character in Adobe Flash® CS4 Professional, a Wacom pen offers the control and interactivity that professionals demand. In addition to its obvious artistic capabilities, the Wacom pen offers ergonomic and navigational benefits to the CS4 user. For example, the pen provides an intuitive control for operating sliders when editing a sound segment in Adobe Soundbooth® CS4. And because the pen is positioned in the hand in a natural manner and provides exceptional freedom of movement many professionals report that this type of input, especially when used with creative applications, offers superior physical comfort. For Web designers who work in Dreamweaver® CS4 and move between multiple applications such as Photoshop or Illustrator, the pen delivers precise control throughout all of the applications in Adobe’s Creative Suite 4. "Adobe and Wacom have worked closely together to provide customers with a natural, results-focused computing experience," said David Macy, Senior Product Manager for Illustrator at Adobe. "While some applications within CS4, specifically Photoshop and Illustrator, are certainly more pen-centric than others, we also recognize pen input as a valuable tool for other applications within the CS4 family and we will continue to work closely with Wacom to develop new and exciting features." Productivity Benefits for both Hands Wacom’s Intuos®3 pen tablets and Cintiq® interactive pen displays feature customizable ExpressKeys™ and Touch Strips for quick access to keyboard shortcuts and modifiers. These non-dominant hand features greatly enhance productivity by fully utilizing the users hand that is not controlling the pen. Since the customized settings can be application specific, CS4 users can create and save unique personalized settings for each individual application. For example, a new feature within Photoshop CS4 is dynamic brush resizing. Holding down the Ctrl + Opt keys while clicking down and dragging left or right dynamically adjusts the brush size. This command could easily be attributed to an ExpressKey for fast, simple access to brush resizing. Collaborating in CS4 with Adobe ConnectNow Adobe ConnectNow is a new online resource in CS4 and especially interesting to those working with a Wacom pen. This service enables users (colleagues, clients, etc.) to remotely share screens and collaborate in real time. With this whiteboard functionality, users can draw or annotate directly on an image, easily communicate changes and share their ideas or concepts with others. "Adobe CS4 opens up a wealth of creative opportunities to Wacom’s current and future customer base," said Scott Rawlings, Vice President of Marketing for Wacom Technology Corp. "ConnectNow being a prime example, Adobe clearly embraces the extended idea and power of the pen. Not only is it great for art, photo retouching and image compositing, but it’s also easy and natural for collaboration and review, even when working remotely. With the cumulative impact of pen-specific features in CS4, there is no better time to experience the benefits of Wacom pen input when working with these creative applications."
