Wacom Stylus

[milefile]

Does anyone here have or use a Wacom stylus or mouse? I'm considering asking for one for my birthday. It seems they start at around $70-90 and then jump to a few hundred dollars, based on pad size. If you use one, what do you think?

Wacom is an awesome company. I use a Graphire2 and it gives me no trouble.

Don't expect to copy pictures onto Photoshop, though, because resolutions are way off and when you draw it turns out much bigger. Even if you make the canvas the same size as the picture.

Do you mean tracing? I hadn't thought of that. But it would be cool. Are you saying it doesn't work?

I mostly want it for the pressure sensitivity and precision. Being able to vary the width and opacity of lines as you draw, etc.

Yep, tracing.

It depends on the model i guess... they all have different resoultions. For mine, it doesn't work.

Is your pad around 4"X5"? It seems to be the only one I would pay for, for now.

You mean resolution? I don't actually know, sorry.

If you mean size, it's about 8" tall x 7" wide.

The drawing area.

I want a Wacom Intuoso2 4"x5"...

 

[milefile]

Yeah. I think that's the one I'm looking at, too.

I'm gonna save up for it...I'll have enough soon.

Woah...

That one is too much. The one I was looking at is around $100.00.

That was the cause for my "woah." He's selling it for more than it's worth.
