Does anyone have any tips for desk setup? I find working on my Intuos just not comfortable, and I'm not certain if it's poor physical setup or if I'm just a luddite and it's psychosomatic. It feels like I'm hunched over the thing, having to press really hard, and generally become gollum.

Thanks all, I'll have a fiddle with it and see if I can improve it any. I've adjusted my desk and chair height, that might help some.

I have similar problems, working with an intuous. I recently started working with my keyboard next to the tablet instead of behind it, and that seems to help a lot - it means my shoulders are more square-on, and that makes it much more enjoyable.

I'm right-handed. Tablet sits to the right of the keyboard, pen with right hand, keyboard with left.

I've never heard of doing that, that's so clever! ...Now I want to get something like this and connect it up like that.

Mine's an intuos 4, it seems sturdy enough and I've had it ~8 years, before that was a graphire. But yeah, whatever suits your budget best.  It's worth looking up reviews of potential buys to see specs and avoid accidentally getting a dinosaur.

I got a giant Intuos for that reason and I think it's too big - it's really awkward to work around on my desk, reach past for the keyboard etc.

lllllllllllllllllll posted:Hello all-knowing thread. We want to give a wacom tablet to a child and are now looking for the right one. How old is the kid? Drawing software tends to get complex and can be pretty frustrating, it might end up putting them off as much as encouraging them.

What tablet does she have? IIRC, the s-pen is for the 'Note' series (I have one, it was cool till it had a magnet-related-accident!), so check compatibility. The good news is that the s-pen is awesome for drawing, and there's decent android drawing apps for only a few bucks.

How's GIMP for photo editing? It's freeware not-photoshop, but I've not used it enough to say if it's any good.

I've heard the kamvas has issues with parralax and drawing straight lines, any sign of that? I'm thinking of upgrading to one, but I'm really hesitant to go non-wacom without being able to actually try one before I buy.

squirrelzipper posted:Huh, maybe that's why they're discounting the 16" PRO by $200. Just got the Kamvas 16" Pro for $369 CAD with a free stand – helps that I had a $300 credit so the final tally for it was $74 CAD. I have a 10.5" iPad Pro that I've been using in sidecar and it's awesome but a little small now that I'm using it at a desk, still great for on the go. Will report rootkit 0wnage or just look for PRC shill posts on this account. A goon review of it would be really appreciated, I'm maybe looking at getting one soon. I've heard it can have parralax issues, have you noticed anything like that?

As are the PRC bagging team. (I mean, it's not as if any other electronics by any brand is less likely to be riddled with bugs and spyware, but still)

Right, soon I'm going to be getting a draw-on-screen tablet. My budget is about £300, maybe up to £400 if I really push it. I'm thinking probably either a Kamvas 13 pro, or a Kamvas 16 [not-pro]. Are there any other decent-looking tablets I should be looking into at that price range? 13" is my minimum size (  ), otherwise I'm open to anything.e: Or I could bid on a second-hand Cintiq 13. lofi fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Mar 5, 2020 |

I don't know that one, but there's a lot of very dodgy reviews out there, so I'd err on the side of caution.

I got a screen protector for my cintiq. I ordered the SUPER TOUGH NEO GLASS GORILLA BULLETPROOF RA and it is SUPER GLOSSY and I hate it. I'm torn between getting another in matte and just doing without.

I went through alllll this a month back, ended up getting a second-hand cintiq, and I'm really glad I did - I absolutely love the thing, and the money didn't go to wacom (because I fully agree their practices are bullshit).

I picked up a Razer Nostramo off ebay, and it's really nice alongside the tablet - having a mousewheel on it is really handy for zooming. Be aware that cheap gaming pads literally just mirror a chunk of the keyboard, so I don't think they'd work as well - the razer thingy has keys you can set to be whatever you want. I never really got comfortable with my intuos because I was hunched over it to draw but looking up to my screen. I upgraded to a cintiq recently and it's solved all that poo poo instantly. Things that didn't work included using a desk easel to angle it and changing seat/desk height.
