4D Launch a USB Graphics Tablet with RISC OS Driver

4D are pleased to announce the release of a USB Graphics Tablet driver for RISC OS.

Use the graphics tablet to digitally sketch, draw or paint. Using the pressure sensitive stylus, you can draw darker or thicker lines just like a real pencil, brush or marker. Compatible with PhotoDesk!

The quality Wacom tablet makes creating fun. Easily sketch, draw and paint on your computer with the ease of a pen. Even beginners can bring their work to the next level quickly and effortlessly. Opening a whole world of possibilities. You have a full range of art supplies all in one tool. Use the pen to sketch or draw. Then turn your pen into a virtual brush. Or a store full of colours. Or markers, pencils, paper, glue, you get the idea. What you need, when you need it. It is designed for both right and left hand use. The tablet moves the mouse pointer so you can switch tasks and carry on using the tablet – no need to reach for your mouse the moment you stop drawing e.g. to select a different brush!

Whatever your artistic ambitions, this tablet can take you there.
