For those of you who use non-Cintiq tablets, how do you handle the stabilizer functions in all the various drawing programs? I've been straight up disabling it most of the time due to one of my close friends who told me that it really came down to just practising your line stability by yourself over time, but a ton of other friends rely on it heavily and although their lines aren't as crystal sharp as the first friend's, I've noticed they've been getting much cleaner line art than I have recently. I mean honestly at this point I feel like I'm committed to the long haul of just improving without it, but I was just wondering since it seems to be a really divisive subject.

Xabi posted:I didn't see any recommendations in the first post of the thread, so I'll ask here instead: Which Wacom tablet do you recommend for Lightroom/Photoshop work? Intuos Pro all the way or can you get by just as well with a regular Intuos (the ol' Bamboo)? I think I prefer the small size btw, but please let me know if that's a stupid idea. I got friends who do honest to god very detailed illustrations off a bamboo fun so if youre just looking to get it for photo manipulation and like the cheap price go for it

Arthil posted:So I decided that I'll just go with the Intuos Small for my first tablet, a lot of people really hammered in that I should go with a Wacom product for my needs and really other than the one or two recommendations here no one's been able to actually backup getting a Huion H610. I mean if you're going to let that one anecdote about how the Huions seem to have issues connecting depending on when you connect it to use Photoshop, that poo poo happens all the time with Wacom tablets too, it's not something that only happens on Huions. If the Intuos Small is the absolute limit to your budget, you might as well just spring for the Huion H610 since it has a vastly larger active area.

Prolonged Priapism posted:The Intous has 36% the active area of the H610. And keep in mind that unless your monitor is some strange resolution that has the same aspect ratio as the active area of the tablet, you won't be using the whole tablet surface 1:1 - parts of it are automatically dead zones. You should be using the force proportions option on tablets anyways so this isn't really a concern tbqh

echinopsis posted:Huh? Why More accurately maps your movements on a tablet onto the screen, obviously. Sure it may seem pretty hypocritical to suggest effectively deadzoning a portion of your tablet right after talking about how small tablets are bad, but in that regard the larger tablet will still have more surface area regardless.

also disable legacy compatibility on wacoms so that you can actually use all 2048 degrees of sensitivity which is turned on by default (meaning you were only using 1024) lol

if i'm noticing my tablet is starting to not register me trying to draw a line on it, does that mean it's starting to fail or is it just a mechanical error I'm getting here? It's a 5~ years old intuos4 medium, but I've really only been using it with any frequency since the last year. e: I switched out the rubber nib I'd been using since I've had the issue to a more standard one, which seems to have alleviated the issue. It still crops up a few times every now and then though. ee: I'm sort of hoping it's just my pen that's breaking. I'm placing that hope on the fact that for some reason, the innards of my pen had started getting dislodged? I don't know how to explain it, basically when I use the eraser side, it clicks the pen side up a bit, and vice versa for when I use the pen side. So it kind of feels like they're connected and are pushing against each other. Could that possibly be indicative of something? Futaba Anzu fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Feb 1, 2016 |

Funddevi posted:It sounds like a pen issue, but if I were you I'd try unplugging the tablet, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, then plugging it back into a different USB port. If this doesn't help, I'd guess that it's most likely a pen issue. Does the pen rattle more than you'd expect when you shake it? Does the problem only happen right after using the eraser? the pen's eraser rattles a bit when I shake it, the problem doesn't seem to depend on me having used the eraser recently, I almost never move my tablet around, I keep it plugged in 24/7 and it's propped against my desk on the ground when I'm not using it. I'll try reinstalling the drivers to see if that helps any.

a bit of a late reply, but just got done trying out all suggestions, reinstall drivers, and try out different USB, still have the issue. Starting to lean more on pen issues because,windex posted:Any habit of bending the pen? y-yeah sort of. Well not really bending, but I kinda abuse it a reasonable amount, like twirling it around my fingers and sometime fumbling it dropping it on the desk, and also taking the pen with me (only the pen, not the tablet) to classes in a bag. I've also been swapping out a ton of nibs recently just to get a good feel for all of them, so maybe I hosed something up trying to put one in?

kefkafloyd posted:Don't feel bad, I ruined a grip pen by holding it in both hands and stretching my arms out. Basically ripped the pen in two, and all the tiny springs and bits fell out, never to be put together again. I'd seen somewhere that wacom intuos pens are supposed to come apart if you try taking them apart and tugging at the half point, guess that might have also contributed to it being faulty now too.

Andrigaar posted:It's $87 for the ultra-deluxe ex version (instead of $220). But wasn't this also the Manga/Clip Studio where the changes were so minimal the EX was barely needed? EX gets you comic sequence capabilities and being able to animate more than 12 (or 24, whatever) frames in animation mode.

a hole-y ghost posted:Small question: My hands are shaky (always have been), and it causes more of a problem with my tablet than with drawing or painting (because there's less friction). Anyone else have this problem and have some tips? long term solution is to just grind away at your draughtsmanship until you clear it away or 1. use more stabilizers or 2. sacrifice your nibs and tape down a piece of paper over your drawing surface

I won't lie, I'm not too good at this either and I'm deathly jealous of this one girl I know's ability to effortlessly draw smooth gliding lines on a Cintiq all while loosely gripping the pen by the eraser end like it was a real brush. How does she enact such magic it's hosed up.

so i just got a new art stylus pen with the fat nibs for a christmas present. how am i supposed to change the nibs out? everywhere i read says you're supposed to insert it into some extractor on the tablet, but i don't have that since i have an intuos4. what do i do to switch nibs out other than just using tweezers and a lot of determination?

Argue posted:Yep! It's a bit convoluted though. I had to stuff them in a Dropbox folder then import them from there on the iPad. It'll probably be the same for whatever cloud storage you use. But they'll work exactly the same; the iPad version is pretty much a 1:1 port which has all the features, and for better or worse, has the exact same UI. Ah I guess the key thing I forgot to mention was windows pc but Dropbox would probably suffice. Also a bit of further digging I learned that custom setting import/exporting is one of the things they were working on specifically for the iPad version so that's also nice. As for the ui, is there a simple fast way to tab collapse the windows or does everyone just use the smart keyboard?

gmc9987 posted:
i dont know if it's just me but i always experienced the opposite of this with my intuos4 in that the surface basically gets smoothed out of its texture which is very annoying since the underlying layer is slightly tacky and ruins my tactibility doing slight penwork. I wear an expensive no friction glove and everything to also make sure I'm not rubbing the texture off but I've gone through like 12 surfaces in my life time so far and they all erode away within a month pen nibs have been completely resilient, I bought one set of new nibs to accompany the free ones I got when I bought it 6 years ago and I'm still on those to this day. I hear that that's actually a specific reverse concern with the i4 line tho because the surfaces for that line were not the greatest and they 'improved' them onward. at a certain point i've considered just taping a sheet of acetate down but that never works out too well either because it's too thin and buckles over time or i guess i'm just not good at taping it fully down.

deep dish peat moss posted:Is there a drawing tablet I can get on a ~$300 budget that will actually mimic the tactile feel/friction of pen & paper drawing? I do a lot of pen drawings (fineliner, sharpie, gel pen, acrylic paint pen) and would love to move to something more digital but I've struggled with tablets I tried in the ancient past not feeling enough like actual paper. Ideally if I can really mash my drat stylus into the thing to draw thick lines without damaging it that would be rad intuos rides on that paper surface feeling, either that or buy just any other tablet and idk, a paperlike2 meant for an ipad but just slap it onto the tablet instead lol. that poo poo is The Best paper-like sheet ever. the actual paper taped over a tablet sounds like it would work but for me it always just buckled instantly and idk something about putting paper on top of a hard rigid surface and using a tablet nib on it makes the wires cross horribly for me.

depends entirely on person to person. i use cintiqs at workstation and have a 27in huion display tablet at home and I hate working on display tablets. After trying to acclimate over a year I just decided to go back to my Intuos4 medium. I can't see how a regular tablet can be producing more bodily strain than a display tablet (I would imagine those issues would be exacerbated even more unless you spent the huge bucks to completely refit your workstation to benefit from display tablet) but sure it's worth trying if the regular tableti s loving you over that much
