Have you tried rooting it? My ex-husband's galaxy was slow as hell, so he rooted it and it sped it waaay up. Also, check the other programs I mentioned earlier. There are probably plenty of video reviews.

Yeah I had a look at that clover program and the google play store description was just atrocious, rating wasn't that great either. It is rooted but since it's a chinese tablet it doesn't get the same developer attention as samsungs et al. e: I am running the latest available ROM though.. I think the hardware is just a bit underpowered to drive a 2048x1536 LCD. ee; is there a thread for posting random scribblings? reni89 fucked around with this message at May 14, 2013 around 21:22 |

The Daily Drawing's thread in creative convention. Yeah they have a theme but that's not strictly what is allowed. Go for it.

Anyone have much experience with the 13HD? Frenden has boxed it back up in favour of the cheaper Yiynova 19" cintiq alternative. Not sure what to think right now really. There'll be bit of time before they come back in stock in England anyway.

http://tech.woot.com/offers/wacom-b...en-touch-tablet Just saw this pop up on woot if anyone was looking for an inexpensive starter tablet. $50 with a 1 yr wacom warranty. I'm not sure how much I trust Wacom refurbs (no experience with them) but it seems like a good deal.

Just picked up a tablet to start doodling (Monoprice 10x6.25). I tried to use photoshop and illustrator to just draw some basic line art, but there was a considerable lag between the cursor/pen and what was drawn. I'm trying to figure out if it's the tablet, my hardware, or the software I'm trying to use that's causing the lag. Also, any recommendations for edit: After messing with it a bit more, it's probably my slow-rear end laptop. Trying to draw with my mouse has the same lag.

If you're using Windows 7, disable all the Windows 7 tablet stuff.

Disabling the tablet stuff didn't seem to make much of a difference. The lag isn't terrible, but it's noticeable. Is a 1:1 ratio of pen stroke to what appears on the screen possible? I have zero familiarity with tablets/digital art, so I may just be setting my expectations too high. Anyway, thanks for the advice. I'm putting together a considerably more powerful desktop build, so maybe I'll get better results then.

Photoshop is really resource-hungry, so I'm not surprised you're getting lag on a laptop. You could try the trial version of Paint Tool SAI and see if you get better results http://painttool-sai.en.softonic.com/

It may be fun to doodle on some times, or sketch down an idea or something.

Mentioned this in the 3d thread but didn't get much of a response: I am interested in the best slate/tablet or highend laptop for sculpting zbrush on the go and am struggling with the issue of portability vs. power. Wanted to know who here sculpts and/or paints on a mobile computer and what do they recommend? Are PC slates good enough to use zbrush / photoshop without too much lag at medium to high resolution? The samsung slates seem really nice but I am very tempted to just go ahead and get nice Asus highend laptop with a monoprice tablet vs. the samsung. Alternatively, maybe get the laptop for 3d and find a decent android tablet for life drawing stuff etc. What do you guys think? Is the wacom digitizer really THAT important anymore?

^^ I'm using the Microsoft Surface Pro to do my work on. Just painted the illustration below using Photoshop with a canvas size of 3500px @ 300dpi. When the Surface was released it lacked WinTab support, but that's no longer an issue. Wacom updated the drivers and it's essentially a mobile solution to the Cintiq. One thing it lacks is the pen tilt support that something like an intuos4 and above would have. I personally never utilized that feature, so I can't comment how much of a loss that is.

Yeah I'm thinking of using it primarily for sketches and thumbnails, nothing that would be at all final art. Although looking at that painting the Surface Pro seems like it does a great job. Don't have that kind of $ though...would probably get the new 13" cintiq if I did.

My husband had a galaxy note for work and it was useless for even doing tiny doodles on until he rooted it. Also, check out the ipad 4. It looks like it's about $100 more, but procreate and adobe ideas are great to work with, imo. You might also be better at internet shopping than I am and be able to find it cheaper. I didn't know anything about the surface pro when I bought my ipad so didn't have any clue why the newest ipad was cheaper than the previous model was. Edit: If you get an ipad, don't waste your money on the artrage app. I love artrage for pc, but the app kind of sucks, no matter how proud they are of it. It's also the only drawing app I've had that lags. Edit 2: Looks like they are planning on coming out with a surface pro 2, so maybe the surface pro 1 will drop in price soon. Just a fyi thing, since the article popped up when I went to search prices on the surface pro. Amazon's price on them is higher than they originally were.
