Digital camera reviews of Wacom Intuos3 6 x 8-Inch Pen Tablet
Digital camera Review: Awesome product!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are into art and would either like to try digital art or illustrate your artwork digitally, this is a great tool! It's super easy to get used to(think using a mirror to put makeup on or shave)and the pressure sensitivity makes the pen feel so real, much better than a mouse. The programs packaged with it are really useful and give a wonderfull array of brush types, special effects, tools, etc.
The only complaint I have is that it's too easy to mistakely press the buttons on the pen, but if you disable them (you can rewrire any of the shortcut buttons for your own needs) it's no problem ;-)
I would especially recommend this to any person who has a serious hobby of art and wants to broaden their horizons by becoming fluent in digital art!(as well as professionals)
Digital camera Review: Awesome! Home run on this product
Summary: 5 Stars
I went down to local electronics chain to look for a tablet device. I design my own websites and am horrible at drawing. Figured on tracing outlines and sketches. I thought at first the $300 range was too much for this "toy", so got a Bamboo model to get a feel for it. Store said they will trade in if I change mind. Good.
Took it home, had fun. I don't use the mouse. Boring. Already have a laser mouse. Tablet too small, buttons hard to use. Liked the absolute positioning feature though. That was nice. It piqued my curiousity, stretched my mind a bit, made me think, "Hmm, how bout the bigger one?"
Went back to store, splurged on 6x8. (Sure, alright, "I can justify it with business expense", I thought to myself) Took it home. Woaaaahh. Cool. Much better size. 6x8 doesn't fall off your lap and small enough not to hog my lap or be bulky either. You have to try it to believe it. Much better control and it's like using my pencil or pen.
(Then I loaded the software )Customizing buttons for each application is sooo handy. Wow. I design printed circuit boards, and the buttons are a real kick for that. MS Paint actually becomes useful instead of a dorky box drawing tool!
My advice after using it today:
1) I like the felt nib and the springy plastic one. The rest..well..they insult the product.
2) Install the software! Get lastest drivers from site.
3) Buy this before you buy photoshop. Use the upgrade offers. Tablet pays for itself.
4) Set up the buttons using the tablet drive/software.
Open your programs one by one, select it in the software and customize your buttons for each program. MUCH more convenient and intuitive. IE and Opera fly. It's like having a touch screen except your screen doesn't get dirty.
5) Make one of the buttons an UNDO feature. Now you can redraw the same line until you get it right :) I'm a halfway decent sketcher because of it.
6) Make sure you set up one button for Popup menus for added functionality.
7) Tell your friends. They'll love you for it and you'll earn kudos for the great find :)
I haven't gotten into the Painting software yet. Have fun!
Digital camera Review: Beautiful aesthetic and it works just as beautifully.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an artist that primarily uses Photoshop and Painter. I've recently upgraded from my Graphire2 which I've had for 5 years before this secondhand. My little Graphire just wore out, and that says a lot about the quality of this product: it lasted a long time, even getting it second hand. The upgrade is even better. A sleeker more seamless design and it has a bit of tooth on the drawing area which makes the use feel more natural. No messy overlay, which I was constantly fiddling with on the Graphire. The touch pads on the Express Keys are a bit wonky, in that if you don't wait a few seconds, it will take you back up instead of down when you scroll (or vice versa), but all in all, it's not a big thing.
Digital camera Review: Best Cost and Benefit
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent pen tablet, with a beautiful design, good fuctioning, and a viable cost! Those 1024 levels of pressure-sensitivity really gives you all the flexibility to draw and paint! Be ready to put your dreams on the screen!Digital camera Review: Best tool I own.
Summary: 5 Stars
This product has been worth it's money more than nearly anything else I've bought for the price. I've had it for nearly four years, and it looks brand new. The buttons still feel like new, the tablet itself is still shiny and sleek, no scratches, stains or anything. The pen still works after all these years. I use it everyday in place of my mouse. I would not consider not having a pen tablet. The size is perfect for my 17" laptop. I might have even been fine with the smaller version. Great buy for any digital aficionado.
