How's the performance in Clip Studio on the iPad Pro? Are there any arbitrary limitations that aren't on the desktop version?

Neon Noodle posted:Sketchable is cool and good. There's also great app with infinite drawing canvas called Mischief ($15). I'll second this. I've been using CSP for about a year and a half and I absolutely love it, not to mention that it's a bargain compared to other similar options.

Dogwood Fleet posted:My Surface is pretty great, but the battery drains like crazy in hibernate. I had it in my bag for two days and it's dead now. If it's overnight I have maybe 20% battery power. Is this normal or should I talk to Microsoft? If it's actually entering Hibernate it shouldn't be draining the battery particularly fast... I couldn't find an official source on what the standby time actually is but there are some diagnostics/settings you can mess with to see if it improves anything. First, you can generate a report through the Command Prompt that will give you some detailed information about battery drain. Open the start menu and type "cmd" to bring up the Command Prompt option, then right click on it and choose "Run As Administrator". Once open type "powercfg /sleepstudy" to generate the report, this will save an HTML file to your c:\windows\system32 folder. It contains a bunch of information that will probably be of minimal use to you, but right at the top you can see an Android style battery usage chart, and beneath that you can see a list of state transitions. You should be able to confirm whether or not your system is actually entering Standby/Hibernate and how much battery power it's using during that time. As far as settings to tweak, if you right click the battery icon in the system tray (lower right, you may need to click the arrow if it isn't shown) and click "Power Options" you'll be taken to where you can modify the power and sleep settings for your device. Click "Change Plan Settings" under the "Selected Plan" header and you'll be greeted with options on when to sleep the system. You can tweak this if you wish but the Hibernate settings are a bit deeper. Click the "Change advanced power settings" link beneath the Display/Sleep options to open up yet another window, this one with a number of options. There's two to check: Under "Sleep > Hibernate After" you can change when the system goes into Hibernate (it might be pretty high by default); under "Power Buttons and Lid" you can modify what action the system should take when you single press the power button or flip the Type Cover onto the screen, respectively. Hope that helps.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Tell me goons, are all SP4s this bad, or is mine hosed? Because I decided to draw a few lines using a ruler to test out the jitter, and I could practically surf on those loving waves. The answer is.... maybe. The N-Trig digitizer used in the Surface Pro line tends to have a much more pronounced stair-step effect over other types of digitizer tech, however this an intentional(?) trade-off for more accurate per-pixel cursor tracking and decreased parallax. I did try the "ruler" test on my SP4 just now though, and while I feel like these types of tests don't accurately reflect real world usage, I did notice that my results weren't as pronounced as yours. I'd say if you notice your productivity dipping because of jittery lines or something that you might try RMA'ing it, but in my experience I don't really notice it too much, at least not enough that it negatively impacts my work.

Xun posted:uhhh my wacom tablet is doing this Late to the party but that is absolutely the battery and it is at risk of catching fire if it's that swollen. If you haven't done so already you should contact your local waste disposal facility to see if they're able to take it or can direct you to a place that can. Do not throw it away with other garbage as this could cause the battery to combust. In the meantime if you have the option you should store the device in a place away from other flammable objects.

lllllllllllllllllll posted:Thanks for the info, gmc9987, that's what I was looking for.550$ is a lot of money. Hm, I will give this some more thought. She already has a Android tablet and I just found out that there is a 27$ "S Pen" which is probably compatible with her Samsung Galaxy tablet from 2016. Getting this might be the cheapest way to have her draw digitally. Maybe I'll try that. Thanks all! lofi posted: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. Samsung actually uses the S-Pen moniker for the Galaxy Note, "Galaxy Tab A with S-Pen", Galaxy Tab S, and Galaxy Book lines of devices. They're technically intercompatible since they're all Wacom tech but some of the tablets don't have digitizers at all so.... yeah, check compatibility.

Macksy posted:Anyone know how the microsoft sufaces are for digital drawing and painting or any other brand equivalent? I need something that I can take around with me that can use photoshop/clip studio and other non tablet app programs. I'm just looking for something I can easily lug around with me that works with a stylus that is atleast as good as older model wacom pens, if not as good as the modern ones. As someone who's used several generations of Microsoft Surface (1st, 4th, and 7th) as well as several generations of their pen (Wacom, 2nd Gen N-Trig, and 3rd Gen N-Trig/MPP), the latest Surface Pro with the latest pen on up-to-date firmware is easily the best Surface drawing experience and some of the best all-in-one computing for the price. The line jitter that plagued earlier generations is almost completely gone now, and while I still have to turn on line stabilization from time to time I'm honestly surprised at just how much work I've been able to do without it, and how much improved the performance is in general over my Surface Pro 4. If you do decide to go with a Surface Pro I'd strongly recommend one of the Core i7 models. The Core i3 and i5 models have decent performance on paper, but they use passive cooling which suffers huge performance drops when the system heats up under load. The Surface Pro X also has performance issues related to its use of an ARM based CPU which, while much better this generation, still struggles to run most x86/x64 based illustration software. Alternatively, if you're not married to Windows you might look into the newest models of iPad. I've only spent a little time with them but the drawing experience is also extremely good for a non-Wacom product. Jacobus Spades fucked around with this message at 09:43 on Nov 7, 2020 |

sigma 6 posted:Why don't they have this for your right hand?!? I can't seem to find anywhere that has a right hand version or even anything similar for a right handed person. It's not really what you're describing, but for something that's similar in function to the Logitech I've been using one of these (the Pro v2) for a while to draw and it works pretty well with decent build quality. It's also ambidextrous.

Hamelekim posted:Hi, I think the main reason traditional media is recommended for beginners is that there's a direct correlation between your technique and the result. With digital work your tools can cause issues that lead to errant input like line jitter, cursor offset, unintended strokes, and palm rejection failure. This isn't such a big issue for an experienced artist but for a learner you may pick up bad habits trying to compensate, such as drawing quick, imprecise strokes instead of slow, deliberate ones. A reasonable compromise might be to dabble in both so you can bring proper technique to your digital work and recognize when the technology is making mistakes and not you.
