Nice, Wacom may be expensive but you definitely get what you pay for!

[@photoshopcafe]

My first Wacom still works

[@evakukuruzovic5641]

how do you use it to draw ? do you have to get an expensive app ?

[@JundCo]

@@evakukuruzovic5641 just get autodesk sketchbook, it's free and works very well for drawing.

[@fhf17]

@Trantor The Troll it depends on the Bluetooth module on your computer if it's older itll not be as responsive but if its more current or newer itll perform alot better.

[@brianricecreativeproductio702]

I tried out the Intuos Pro Medium from 2017, and while it's great, I ultimately decided it wasn't worth it to upgrade from the 2013 model that I also own. I was hoping that the bluetooth and the smaller footprint of the tablet would be worth it, but when I went back to the older one just to see how it felt after using the new one, I discovered there was NO drop off in the user experience for me. So I'll be returning it to stick with the 2013 model. I do however, recommend the newer one to anybody looking to get a drawing tablet!

[@CuteSeamus]

did you ever do the paper edition video... i can't seem to find it...

[@dwaterson100]

I appreciate your help with the new Wacom. I just purchased this and need a more beginner user tutorial. You mentioned you had many other Wacom tutorials, but cannot seem to find them.

[@mikebreazeale2563]

I like it. I do use a Wacom pro tablet and I also had one of those grey tablets like you showed at the beginning but mine was a little smaller. I look forward to seeing the next video on that bigger box. Thanks for sharing...

[@arturo_lugo]

Did you ever got around to opening that Intuos Pro Paper Edition Large? I was really looking forward to the size comparison vs. the Medium one and how it actually feels like to actually work with one (not sure if the size may become a nuisance. Thanks!!

[@michaelkirkeby7479]

Thanks for the review - is it the PTH-660-N model?

[@WestonMaggio]

Excellent review Colin!

[@photoshopcafe]

Weston Maggio thanks Wes

[@rocketn8]

Learnt nothing apart from some set up. Still don't fully understand it's capabilities

[@animals_are_alive]

it's a REVIEW not a TUTORIAL you mongoloid

[@UndeadCrabstick]

The sad thing about it is that when this version was announced, I already bought the 2014 one. But I got it on Amazon with, if I remember correctly, 20% discount so I don't have that many regrets. :D

[@upsidedown1671]

Pretty bad that you have to use a dongle/extension cable

[@gardenicat]

Woah, I liked so much the retro Wacom in the intro! My first one was a magnetic drawing board, but don't judge me, haha.:D

[@JamesLPhoto]

this is an unboxing, not a review

[@LarsvandeGoor]

So disappointed in the texture. Great tablet, very annoying surface. For a draftsman it will be fine, for a photographer editing his work, it's just awful. Wacom should give us a choice in texture when we buy it. Now I have to buy a new texture for a lot of money here in Europe ± 55 € And it's not even available yet. Thumbs down for the service

[@1milomir]

I agree, its a pain in the ass that we dont get to choose the texture which comes with the tablet. I guess Wacom is just money hungry $$$$$$$$$$

[@juanjocastellano2206]

Smooth texture has the same problem.

[@ananths5905]

really excited about this, even though i have no idea about digital art.

[@awildtomappeared5925]

nobody is capable of accurately using 1024 levels of sensitivity, never mind 8k, not to mention that no brush that ive heard of, changes size with any where near that precision, what matters is the pressure range, how light the tablet can detect and how hard, on my wacom intuos pen and touch (the older one) the range is pretty decent but it could be better. Any one know how this tablet compares with others such as mine or the new intuos?

[@maikkaune]

@photoshopCAFE Is there any difference between the initially released Intuos Pro M (2017) compared to the latest (2019). The model# PTH-660 is still the same. I could not find any infos about it. Thanks in advance!

[@ColeccionandoActivos]

Wacom Intuos Pro Paper Edition vs Wacom Intuos Pro Digital?., without sermons, which is better?

[@Your_Degenerate]

Does anyone know how the drivers are on Windows? I'm still using an Intuos 3 and even after going into services to tell it to reinitiate the driver on fail it still just has to be restarted a few times a day.

[@rogerwalton8160]

Great review - used wacom for years and this new one looks great; however I like the small tablet - has this been updated too?

[@photoshopcafe]

No the small hasn't. However, the large and medium are a lot smaller than before, the work areas are the same, but the footprint has been reduced quite a lot.

[@BUTIKIStudios]

anybody else here experienced their nib being nibbed thin on their first try? mine got eaten easily just like a paper eats a pencils lead

[@viceversa7339]

Are you the same PhotshopCafé I used to visit in the early 2000's I think? Website with textures, tutorials and stuff like that? If so, wow... Long time no see! :)) Great review, btw! Thinking of getting one of these, but probably the Paper edition. Is it worth the extra cashaloo?

[@photoshopcafe]

Yup, same PhotoshopCAFE for 18 years :)

[@yumia2623]

My uncles looking to get me one and I'm looking quite forward to it! The review really helps

[@PauliePizza]

hi i just got mine today I was wondering if the old nubs fit this new one ,i afraid to try,,also how do you know when to change nubs,, I had my other tablet for a couple of years and never changed my nub except if I wanted more friction, I am a hobbyist obviously,thanks for the video

[@christopherfarrell-artist3557]

OMG...that was my first tablet too ( the one with the serial port ) way back in the mid/late 90's - revolutionary at the time for my digital painting using ZSoft Pc Paintbrush.

[@whoyoum]

Thank you for great videos! Recently got Intuos Pro Medium. Great tool. Having this issue- every time I touch surface in brush mode this brush adjustment annoying window pops up. How can I stop this? Thank you.

[@alicewilliams4291]

Waiting for mine to come in right now ! I definitely like the look of this base for the pen a lot more than the prior Pro , it was constantly falling over because I used the thicker pen grip , and it was also easily knocked over by clumsy people like me . Definitely think this one will be much better .

[@photoshopcafe]

Its quite a heavy base, it won't fall over

[@1milomir]

Ordered today intuos pro prth 851, its so superior over the new failed product. Guys, who bought the 2017, if the tablet works, u can buy a surface protector and make it super super smooth, there is a Korean manufacturer or smtn. Name of product is Healing Shield, i saw somewhere they make these surface protectors also for the new intuos pro. CAUTION: Smooth surface texture sheet STILL eats nibs super fast, my friend tried it... its the same shit, just thrown money. So get the plastic protector for the new intuos pro, if the tablet aint all bumpy and half working xd

[@jeonjungkook4214]

would u say ur 851 wacom intuos 5 version is better than this new one?

[@ExtremelyOnlineGuy]

Great and calming just throwing things into the void too love it

[@taneltolsting2900]

You never did the video on intuous pro paper edition, which you promised in the end of the video. Any special reason?

[@xReflamed]

I've been using my first tablet, a Wacom Intuos4 Medium, for 5 years now. Really thinking about upgrading to this one; my Intuos4 is getting some serious scratching-damage haha. Great review!

[@artsydye]

I've got the tablet (with paper edition) and macbook pro ;0 what a coincidence! great review.

[@cartoondimensions]

Diego Spulveda he returned his macbook pro though lol

[@marieseltenrych]

Bluetooth is so good. Much better than wires.

[@pimpurcabbges7437]

Hi I have a dilemma So for the last 3 days I have been looking for my tablet pen all over my house. I have given up the search and have coped with the fact that I may have thrown it away accidentally. I am not sure if I can replace it without having to purchase the product again...I have looked on Amazon for replacements and I found some promising ones but I am not sure if it will be compatible with my tablet. I don’t want to lose money. If anyone can recommend me with the best replacement option, please let me know! Otherwise I will have to take my chances and buy the one I saw off amazon. The tablet is rlly good and I’ve been itching to draw some projects I have stored on my computer. Tablet model :PTH 660

[@acaaca9229]

Hi, I recently bought wacom intuos pro medium paper edition and it looks like it is bent along longer, front side. It have arch shape. is it normal ? Please help

[@An-vg1uz]

So how is it? Mine came yesterday, and it slightly bent on the center

[@robmr17]

I just liked because you threw with style the old Wacom hahaha Greetings!

[@nesyta1749]

How often do you have to change your pen tip?

[@gaza4543]

I'm sorry i love wacom but those alternate surfaces should be in the box. and at 40 quid each there a little expensive

[@pathetic2399]

They just wanna give people more reasons to spend more money

[@juanjocastellano2206]

Agreed

[@amberfalllikeswarriors7574]

My dad is getting me a wacom tablet (I am 10) and now I'm SO excited!

Please help what is better the wacom intuos pro 651 older version or the new 660 ?

[@msampson3d]

How long had you used it when you made this review? I've not heard great things about this model and you appear to have no issues. Why didn't you compare this to previous wacom tablets? Pretty disappointing video if you were looking for something more... informative.

[@knekker1]

He said in the video that he just took it out from the box, and updated the drivers, before doing the video review, so he basically has no clue whether this is a good product yet or not. I think we both can agree that he should have taken it for a spin for a week or two before doing the video, instead all we are doing here is basically looking at an exited kid who just opened his christmas present, instead of getting a critical mature review of this product can be of help to the viewers.

[@garotPL]

It's any idea in this year wacom show new version intuos tablets?

[@maggiekoseva5585]

I'm not really sure if Wacom intuos pro Medium or Wacom intuos pro large is better.. Can someone recommend me?

[@photoshopcafe]

Buy it here. Intuos Pro Medium (my fav size):amzn.to/2WwvoZi

[@nessi4668]

could you PLEASE tell me if you think the nibs wear down to fast or if you feel like the old tablet version is Better or anything like that? it would really help me out thanks

[@octopus1182]

Nessi-Music nibs wear down naturally, it's natural for all things, friction cause heat, and also causes the nib to wear down, if the nib doesn't wear down, the tablet would. There are already nibs in the pen holder. But there is something you can do to slow it down. Try using less pressure, and set the pen pressure sensitivity higher. Use different nibs, some work better then others But don't worry if you like your pressure or nib! There are always replacement ones!

Does anyonw know if this tablet would work fine in a laptop touch ?

[@edytagirgiel3168]

My newly bought Wacom Intuos Pro M has got express keys that don't work. It has been like that from the very beginning - I bought it 3 days ago. :) I contacted Wacom support, followed all their advice and the result: hardware problem. The drivers update for Windows 10 seems not to do anything. How can Wacom sell something that doesn't work straight from the box? I know many people are looking for the answer to the problem online with no result ;( I can use the pen and gestures, but no express keys - it's so dissappointing. It looks great, promises a lot, but it doesn't work!!!! ;(((((

[@jennafredde6212]

Hi! Thanks for the review- very helpful. Where did you get your desk? looking for a similar desk.

[@photoshopcafe]

Office Depot or office max. I forget now

[@PopcornSticker]

i actually got some major problems with the bluetooth connectivity. it de-connects after like 7 minutes of work, and is really laggy. it makes my laptop bug and glitch often.. and its weird cause all my drivers are up to date, and i have a pretty high performance laptop with i7 and 8gb of ram, ssd... anyone help?

[@yoga7788]

Excellent about to purchase my first tablet thank you

[@tanvirahmed6965]

if i have 500-600usd price range . Thn , Which one do you think is better? This one or the Huion GT-185 SD or xp-pen? I hear some of these cheaper brands have problems with the calibrations and pen stroke glitches. i planned to buy hunio gt 185sd or XP-Pen Artist 22E. now need your advice Which one do you think is better?. Thanks in advance.

[@Peter_Cetera]

I can´t find the unboxing of the large version...

[@stevenjames1138]

Hi. Good review! I'm a first time viewer to your channel. I'm not a professional artist, but I'm very interested in getting into digital drawing and graphics, at least as a hobby if nothing else. Anyway, I'm wondering how much different this experience is compared to buying the new Samsung Galaxy Book 12 with the new S-Pen. Of course, you know that the S-Pen uses Wacom technology and that the new S-Pen now has over 4,000 levels of pressure sensitivity. That's half of the Wacom Pro Pen 2, but I'm mainly curious about the difference between using an external drawing tablet versus drawing directly on the display. As I said, I'm not a professional artist. However, I still am interested in seeing which one offers a better drawing experience. (BTW, I already have a very good laptop, but it's not a touchscreen.)

[@johnp9722]

Hi. This is going to be my first time getting a graphics tablet. I'm using it for illustrations, drawing, digital painting, animations, comics, ect... now investing my time into the digital field, I can't decide on which what size of Wacom Intuos Pro to get! Medium or Large? Can the large be calibrated to have a smaller active drawing area? I have a 27'' monitor and soon going to upgrade to a 30''. I'm afraid that if I get the large, it'll be too tiring for my arm ... but I'm also worried the medium might be too snappy on a large 30'' monitor. I don't want to sacrifice the comfort of the medium for the natural feel of the large. Which should i get??? Also about the nibs... if I order the smooth surface, will the nibs last longer? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, :) Also, great review!

[@photoshopcafe]

Medium works really well and its a manageable size

[@agris_]

I recommend L for that size. I have one and it doesnt tire me at all. Just make sure to put small wireless keyboard on side so you dont lean over all the time. That may make back hurt

[@loesjeshema4427]

I got this for Christmas and am just learning how to use it. The videos will be very helpful. I plan to use it for digitizing embroidery (Embird program) as well as photo work. However, I use Corel Paint Shop Pro, not Photoshop. I hope it's compatible and I can convert what I learn from you teaching with Photoshop to me using Paint Shop.

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

you did a great job on this, thank you I will be purchasing one for my Gf that loves to draw, but I was not sure which pad to get with some many out there. I appreciate you taking the time to help people like me out with this.

[@TristArmstrong]

Thanks for the review and I feel impressed and inspired to get this myself one to enhance my art drawings.

[@janusg8680]

I have an older Wacom Intous 4 with the 'paperlike' surface. Nice surface but wearing down far too fast...cost a lot to buy new sheets. This surface will probably not wear down anytime soon...? How is the feel or contact when drawing...is it also somewhat paperlike or how..? Would be great for me to know more - I am about to buy a new tablet :) Thanks.

[@marieseltenrych]

Thanks Colin. That is so cute. I love brand new. Yummy for artists. How big is the medium size. It looks bigger than my previous one 15x10" And the burning question, price?

[@markharris5771]

I have the most basic One by Wacom, but I'm not a total skinflint, I got the larger size. It took me a long time to discipline myself to use it, and if my iMac's mouse batteries didn't need charging so often if I used it for editing, I still wouldn't be using the pad. Now I've got used to it I love it, and wonder why others don't use them. I am thinking of upgrading, but wonder if I really need all the bells and whistles and how long would it take me to retrain myself to incorporate them into my workflow.

[@Zarkos26]

nice review man ! first good one on this device :)

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks!

[@Allesea159]

Hi! I was wondering wether you tried the older model of the intuos pro as well? and which you prefer: this new model or the previous model? I'm planning to replace my old bamboo fun tablet for an intuos pro, you see.. and the older model is 100€ cheaper, so I was wondering wether it would be worth buying the newer model over the cheaper previous model. Thanks in advance!

[@Diwasho]

Any reason to get the previous model of Intuos Pro over this new one? My Intuos 5 seems to be slowly dying so I may have to seek a replacement soon, and I know for certain that all of my tablet's accessories will be compatible with the first model of Intuos Pro, but I'm not so sure if this new one will support things like the Classic Pen and Grip Pen.

[@MaddieMaddocks]

Hi there! I just upgraded from an Intuos Art to Pro. I work mainly in adobe illustrator & indesign in surface design, as in the completed files are either in those two apps, but I do use photoshop too, like most creatives. Can u give me a tip on what tutorial videos in your library I should watch?

[@rajitmaya]

Thanks a lot Bro...I was really puzzled for last couple of days with this Touch On.............thanks a lot again for Showing the Button at the side of Tablet..

Does this come with free software or do I have to pay for photoshop?

[@gustavklint3157]

Hi, I'm planning to purchase one but not sure if I should go for the small or medium. It kinda feels like the small one should suffice. Noticed that you set the area to just the upper corner. Since I have no experience, it's hard to know. Thanks for sharing!

[@627mojo]

Been using wacom since artz2. Surface on this is not as good as old. I am scratching it up too fast. I have been drawing a long time. Tips wear too fast. $40 to replace surface is a rip off.

[@DesignPixelmaster]

mehh, i dont like the new design, i still miss on the new versions the litle display along of the buttons like on my intuos4 where you can see what button is assigned for what... i cannot remember it beause i change it mostly... so yeah... and looks cool to btw :P

just wondering, which windows laptop works best with this wacom tablet( WACOM intuos pro PTH 660)?

[@giancarlotinoco3124]

i´d give it 3 stars, nibs wear very fast, it randomly ignores some photoshop commands and it DOES have delay.

[@babatundemorgan8358]

Nice. Am using a wacom tablet for about a year now. When am using the brush tool in photoshop it panning the entire document or page as if you are using the hand tool, can someone help me how i can solve this situation.

[@PedroRodrigues-fh1ku]

Great ! finally a video of someone actually using it. the size is kind of misleading if you don't see it being used. Do you think it would work fine with a 21' monitor?

Hi! buddy, I just bought the latest new Wacom large tablet 2017do you know how can I install the latest newer Wacom Driver using OSX 10.9.5?

Wacom tablets can work with any type of laptop, just maybe the drivers might work on perhaps Windows 7 and then not on Windows 10. Wacom usually updates their drivers a lot so I hope this helped :'>w

[@danilocoelho9915]

Is there any preset gesture for the touch that can be use as a move toll? Like the hand on Photoshop or Premiere?

[@DBLCreations]

I have a Wacom intuos pro large. But the generation before this one. I'm concerned about two things: I'm not sure if i should get the large or medium. And second: I'm a bit concerned about the fact that on the macro key's there is no indication which shortcut is applied to it. On my Wacom, i have little led displays which shows what shortcut is applied to it. So i'm not sure if i should buy one. I really like the fact that it has touch and that it has more pressure levels though. So i'm a bit in doubt to be honest :-) Great review btw!

[@photoshopcafe]

If you tap the button, it will show the keyboard assignment on the screen

[@XatolosWired]

Does anyone know if this tablet with work with USB 2? Or do I need to have a USB-C? (my computer is getting old and doesn't have USB-C) I do also have a USB 3 port.

[@photoshopcafe]

The USB C is only to plug into the tablet end. The cable works on USB 2 or 3

[@barryh74]

Just wish this review was not so biased. No mention at all on the surface texture that comes as standard.
