Digital camera reviews of Wacom Cintiq 6D Art Pen - digitizer pen ( ZP-600 )
Digital camera Review: Addresses lots of issues but not quite there yet
Summary: 4 Stars
If you don't already own the regular Intuos 3 stylus, get it first. This adds lots of functionality, but it isn't the primary Wacom tool. That said, I've really been having a great time with this. Like anything involving a pen tablet there is a learning curve, but after you get it, its golden. Be warned, that although there is much added functionality with this pen it doesn't get the feel of a real marker (which is kind of what I was looking for with this). With practice and tweaking brush options in photoshop, Illustrator, and especially in Corel Painter you can come really close.
My other complaint is the lack of buttons that come on the regular Intuos 3 stylus. Some people don't like the buttons anyway, so you may not mind. Over all, it is a big step in the right direction, but needs a few more tweaks to get it all the way there. In the mean time I applaud Wacom for this, because they are as of yet the only company to come out with anything like it at all.
Digital camera Review: Does what is expected
Summary: 5 Stars
This digital brush gets automatically identified by Painter 11. It really behaves the way it claims and the software assigns a set of brushes that are rotation aware. This preset brushes are not that many. I probably need to learn how to make my own brushes rotation aware. I have 2 more wacom pens including an airbrush. The only issue I see with the sofware itself is that the calibration for one pen propagates to the rest of the pens. Since this 6D Art Pen Digitizer has a wider tip, I wish I could set up an independent calibration at least for this particular pen.Digital camera Review: Great for graphic artists..
Summary: 4 Stars
I've just bought a Wacom Intuos table and decided to get some accesories to work on different things, so I bought this pen thinking it would be really helpful for a non-experienced tablet artist.
Personally I think that it is a great accesory but if you are not experienced enough using tablets, pens, etc, it may not be your best shot. Anyway, once you start using it and speding some time using it and trying it in different ways, you will notice how good it is.
Digital camera Review: Nice Stylus
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used Wacom tablets for several years and love them. When the 6D Art Pen came available, I had to get it for my digital painting. Overall it's a great stylus and is more fluid then the Grip Pen stylus for digital painting.
The only real complaint I have is that the base to hold the stylus is the same as the Grip Pen. The problem lies with the fact that the 6D Art Pen is much wider and does not fit snug in the base, so it falls right over. It is annoying, but a minor complaint.
Digital camera Review: Only buy this for Painter
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this thinking that it sounded great, but what none of the product info tells you is that Photoshop doesn't really take advantage of the rotation like it should. There is no mechanism to keep a chisel shaped brush tip rotating at the same angle as the chisel shape of the pen. Seems almost pointless now. From what I have read, it works in Painter, just no luck for me.
