Airbrush Settings

The Intuos2 Airbrush is equipped with a drawing tip, a fingerwheel, a single side switch, and an eraser. Button functions are set in the same manner as with the Intuos2 Pen. Additionally, the fingerwheel sensitivity range can be customized to suit your preference.
MAXIMUM is the default setting, and requires you to move the wheel over its full range to achieve maximum effect.
INTERMEDIATE requires a medium amount of wheel movement to achieve maximum effect.
MINIMUM requires the least amount of wheel movement to achieve maximum effect.
In supporting applications, the fingerwheel can be used to control ink flow, brush size, opacity, or other variables. Reducing the fingerwheel range allows you to achieve the same effect with less finger movement. Move the wheel forward for less effect and move it back for more effect.

CUSTOMIZING TILT SENSITIVITY

To adjust the tilt sensitivity of your Intuos2 P en or Airbrush, select the TILT tab . Tilt sensitivity controls how far you have to tilt the tool to produce the maximum tilt effect in your application. You need to tilt the pen less at high sensitivity than at low sensitivity to get the full tilt value reported to your application. Like pressure-sensitivity, tilt can be assigned to control brush characteristics. Your tilt setting applies to both the tip and eraser of your pen or airbrush.
Drag the slider to increase or decrease pen tilt sensitivity. The default setting is LESS.
The tilt display graphically shows the reported tilt angle of your pen or airbrush.
Place your pen or airbrush vertically on the tablet, and tilt it from side to side and forward and backward. The graphic lever moves to indicate the amount and direction of tilt reported to the application.
Note: Tilt is direction-sensitive and can be used in some applications to control brush orientation.
Visit Wacom’s web site for a list of applications that currently support tilt.
