Why Do You Need a Wacom Tablet with Adobe CS4?

Quite simply, Adobe Creative Suite 4 and Wacom pen tablets and pen
displays are made for one another. Adobe has integrated many features
into CS4 that take advantage of Wacom's pressure-sensitive and
tilt-sensitive pen technology. These features vary between
applications, but options such as opacity, brush size and exposure can
be controlled by how hard you physically press down on the tablet or
display with the Wacom pen. Tilt sensitivity allows for directional
brushes and effects created by tilting the pen. With the pen's natural
control, precision and ease-of-use, Wacom products provide the most
intuitive way to unleash the creative power of CS4. The productivity
features of Wacom's professional products extend far beyond the pen.
The ExpressKeys™ and Touch Strips can be customized for one-touch
access to keyboard hot keys and modifiers used in CS4, giving Wacom
users powerful controls in both hands to accelerate their productivity
and workflows. Whether retouching a photo in Adobe Photoshop CS4,
completing a vector drawing in Adobe Illustrator CS4, constructing an
interactive document with Adobe InDesign® CS4, or creating a new
animated character in Adobe Flash® CS4 Professional, a Wacom pen offers
the premier level of control, comfort, and productivity that
professionals demand.
