USING THE OPTIONAL AIRBRUSH AND ART PEN
The optional Intuos4 Airbrush works like the Grip Pen, but also includes a fingerwheel for an additional degree of control. With proper software support, you can simulate realistic airbrushing. For example, tilting the Airbrush can cause the spray pattern to elongate and feather out. Rolling the fingerwheel adjusts the spray intensity, and pressure on the tip controls the brush size.
Hold the Airbrush with your thumb and middle finger. The fingerwheel should be in a convenient location for you to roll it with your index finger. Tilt the Airbrush to find a comfortable position that allows you to paint and draw with pressure sensitivity.

Important: When the Airbrush or Art Pen is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your tool, do not store it in a container where it will rest on its tip or eraser. Leaving an Intuos4 tool on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices.
