Wacom Pen Tip Sensing
Pen tip sensing is a new feature that simplifies working with brushes when using a Wacom
tablet. When the pen tip is brought close to the tablet, Avid FX switches the brush type to the
last one used. Pen tip sensing becomes active when working in a Paint effect.
By default, the pen tip enables the Color brush and the back end of the pen enables the
Eraser. When working with an airbrush tip, the tip enables the Spray brush and the back end
of the pen enables the Eraser. This lets you paint and then turn over the pen to erase.
If you select a different brush type with the pen, that brush type becomes the new default
brush for that end of the pen. When Avid FX is restarted, the defaults are restored to the
Color brush and Eraser.
