“As a key player in the digital imaging industry, offering pen-based technology to photographers, we are pleased to support Travel Photographer of the Year 2008 again. Travel photographers in particular are always willing to embrace new developments in technology and experiment with creative concepts. In turn, the standard of travel photography continues to improve.” Guy Martin, sales manager UK, WACOM Europe GmbH

Founded in 1983, Wacom has established itself as the market leader for pen tablets and is a pioneer in the development of the pen as an input device for computers. The company’s aim is to make working with the computer more intuitive and natural, therefore making it easier to open a broader field of applications – Wacom pen tablets are supported in leading digital imaging software from vendors such as Adobe and Corel. The ethos behind this vision is to create the most harmonious environment possible for the user and his technical equipment.

Wacom's current product range is based on its patented electromagnetic technology (‘penabled’ technology), which is the key to cordless, battery-free and pressure sensitive computer input devices that have become standard equipment for a large section of the photographic and graphics design community, both professional and amateur. Ingenious technology, coupled with attention to design quality, functionality and ergonomic detail, are the major factors which have contributed to the company's considerable success in the European, North American and Asian pen tablets markets.

Slim, light and durable, the Cintiq 12WX enables you to work wherever you feel inspired. It fits into everyday laptop bags. So just choose your favourite working environment – all you need is a Mac or PC and power. And discover the broad variety of creative opportunities.

Intuos3 A5 Wide Pen Tablet

The innovative Intuos3 A5 Wide Pen Tablet offers you even more space for your creative ideas. It is ideal for optimising use of the entire working area in widescreen and dual-monitor environments.

Intuos3 optimises workflow, efficiency and productivity in creative applications. It will speed up the process in the "digital darkroom", because complex masking and knock-outs are done much faster and more intuitively. It offers you a highly accurate way of working due to the 5,080 dpi resolution and 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity of the Grip Pen. Working with pressure sensitive editing tools enables you to control size and opacity simply by pressing the pen harder or more softly on the tablet. In addition you can retouch intuitively by controlling the pen or create perfectly feathered masks.
