DRAWING WITH TILT

As with pressure, the tablet recognizes when you tilt the pen or airbrush from vertical to inclined positions.

In some drawing applications, tilt can be used to control line shape and thickness. This is like working with

an airbrush where tilt can be used to make a line thin when the tool is vertical, or wide when the tool is

tilted. In other applications, you can adjust tilt to deﬁne brush characteristics such as width, color and

opacity.

To test tilt, draw a curve in a graphics application (such as Painter) that supports tilt. Be sure that the tilt

function in your application is active, then change the tilt of the pen as you draw to vary the shape and

thickness of the brush stroke.

To adjust how much you must tilt the pen to produce a desired tilt effect in your application, see

Customizing

Tilt Sensitivity.

Not all applications support tilt. To see a list of applications which currently support this feature, visit our

web site. See Product Inf

ormation.

As an example, with the Wacom PenTools Virtual Airbrush

Photoshop plug-in, tilting the pen results in an elongated

pattern. This simulates the effects of an airbrush spray that is

angled away from the paint surface.
