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.

and can be used in some
applications to control brush
orientation.

USING DUALTRACK
All Intuos2 tablets support the concurrent use of two Intuos2 tools on a tablet. This feature is called
DualTrack.
DualTrack will function according to how an application implements support for two input tools. In some
applications, two-handed input is used to rotate, size , and position an object b y controlling tw o handles on
the object simultaneously.
In applications that do not support positional data from two Intuos2 tools, the first tool placed on the tablet
will control the screen cursor and the second tool will function as a Button Box. If you are using a graphics
program, for example, you can set one of the 4D Mouse buttons to simulate the S
lines while drawing. If you place the 4D Mouse on the tablet’s active area while using the pen, the
4D Mouse will not control the screen cursor—only the buttons will function. If you press the 4D Mouse
button assigned to the S
HIFT function while drawing with the Intuos2 Pen, the line will be constrained as
long as the 4D Mouse button is pressed.
Note:

DualTrack is the default setting for the tablet. When STANDARD mode is selected in the TABLET
