Tips for buying a graphics tablet
Buy a graphics tablet
When you talk to professional photographers, one of the things we discussed is that your life changed since you bought a graphics tablet. Some even say that there is a life before the graphics tablet that does not want to remember, and when they forget it or give a workshop was uncomfortable working, things are not going as smooth. Therefore, given the fall in prices, I decided to buy one to see how it changes my life at the computer.
Before you buy one, I have been consulting on numerous sites and several colleagues over the years to try not to be wrong model or spend more money than necessary, that the time is not for wasteful spending.
For the avoidance of doubt a graphics tablet is similar to the keyboard and mouse is used to move the cursor around the screen and command device. Its surface replicates the monitor, so when we move the sensitive pen a corner, the cursor is placed at that end. Is more useful than the mouse as we need not do all the movement to move from one place to another. This depends on the configuration.
What must be taken into account when choosing a graphics tablet
Wacom. This is the word that is repeated when you are looking or questions about the theme. Buy a Wacom and look no further. Do not waste time with any other brand. True, there are others on the market, but it seems that nobody wants to try them. The market is cornered by this brand. For example, pencils do not require batteries. If you want to look at other brands: Trust and Genius.
The problem is that Wacom has several models, which constantly change their names. Now they all have the name of the professional range, Intuos. So all we have clear is that to differentiate at first only have a reference price from 60 € of the new Intuos Creative Pen Tablet to 300 € the Intuos Pro, which comes with several programs, such as the basic version of Photoshop or a selection of the famous filters Color Efex Pro 4 Nik®.
There are three sizes, but what almost everyone agrees is that for photographers, the ideal size is a small tablet, or DinA6 DinA5. If we buy a bigger, we will have to move his arm much when you only need to move the wrist. They are also much cheaper.
The difference between the cheapest and the most expensive tablets are various, from programs that carry the pro version to sensitivity levels that go from 1024 to 2048 As photographers do not need as much accuracy as discussed in their courses Natalia Taffarel, even used the tablet recognizes that from a customer gave it, if not still so happy with the mouse lifetime.
The most important thing is to go by their management after proper configuration to achieve higher productivity. And remember it does not replace the mouse and keyboard, but can often work in tandem to make the best of each. The tablet has four configurable buttons and the stylus other two, plus an eraser.
Regarding the pen must not forget having two ends, one that serves to paint and mark the other end that functions as an eraser. To all who have spent our childhood and college life with a pen back to feel young with a tool so similar and different mouse. In addition, claims like me, lefties, and select can work with our good hand without any problems.
