Tablets

Unless hes doing ----- digital art work theres no need for him to buy an intous, a bamboo is fine.

 

At first I thought you were speaking about the H1N1 tablets but then I realized.. Loll.. Sorry.. What Broken said because I haven't really had that much of an experience with a Tablet PC which I had for 3 weeks before giving it to my family.

 

The point is that at some stage he's going to want to upgrade from a Bamboo to an Intuos.

If you're buying a tablet, why not just save up that -little- bit longer to get something about £50 more expensive and far better at it's job?
That and you can get a Wacom Intuos 3 A5 for about the same price, if not cheaper than a Bamboo.

 

Aight well, as I said, later today I'll have a look at all of them.
I don't paying a little extra if it's gonna make a big difference.

I take it the Intuos 3 is fairly good quality?
On the site they seem to be... a lot.

Anyway, I'll see what happens.

Also, I'm assuming they come with a pen thingo or do you need to buy that separately?

Either way, if I find a Intuos cheaper or a little bit more expensive than the bamboo I'll definitely buy it.

 

I use both a intous and a bamboo, for graphic work an a6 bamboo is perfect, for matte paintings and high resolution work a intous is good. Unless hes doing that, then anything other than a bamboo is pointless and him upgrading is pointless and overkill.

 

Ok, thread can be closed.
Got a Bamboo Fun (bigger + mouse).
A5.

The Intous 3 was incredibly pricy, even with a discount.

Thanks for all your help guys.

Edit: If I move the pen too slowly when I start to draw a line it goes really thick, like it thinks the mouse is drawing, not the pen?
Is there a way to fix that?

 

Have you tried messing around with the pen settings?

 

Yeah, no dice.
Think it might be the drivers, I dl'd the latest ones from the website rather than the ones on the disc.

 

Got to the brushes tab in photoshop and adjust the shape settings from pen pressure to none.

 

I think you've missed the point, I'm using the pen, and unless I move it fast enough on the tablet, the computer thinks I'm using the mouse or something, and doesn't change the line strength with pressure.

 

Try contacting customer support?

 

Cintiq. All the way.

Joking.

If you're a novice on PS I'd just get the Bamboo right now, I used to have it, once you get better, I'd go for the intuos series, I have a Intous 4 right now, and it really does make a big difference from mouse to tablet
