For whatever reason the Intuos 4 sizes are buried under Small Medium and Large

Medium is 48.5 square inches
Large is 102.5 square inches

Why they don't give proper dimensions is beyond me

They do? Theres a picture just under the description, Intuos4 - Large




I'm wondering about all this 3 vs 4 talk, I want to get one, but I dont see why the 4's would be any worse, people are swearing by their intuos 1, 2 and 3s, why would the 4's be any lesser quality given the track record? Or is it just price?

Anyone use the Intuos 4 and bamboo? I got my wife an Intuos 4 large last year and I love it, but she's getting sick of me hogging it and taking it to the office, so I was thinking about getting a cheap bamboo to keep at my office.

I'm wondering how much difference you can actually tell in the pressure sensitivity between the two.

Ah, I figured it would be. Bummer, guess I'll just have to save up for a bit.

wobbles and jitters

In illustrator, and probably others, you can adjust the Fidelity and Smoothness on your brush tool. So if you wobble and jitter it'll work out those kinks for you. I do believe you're gonna give up some accuracy for it, but the lines will look good.

In illustrator just double click the brush tool to bring up the options.

Thank you! Sent this along to every Wacom user in my class since a lot of people have been pondering this exact thing.

I'm actually going to do just the opposite...I need to set the threshold for very light strokes to be greater, so many times I want a nice thin stroke but I get thick rear end circle strokes and poo poo...

Personally I say gently caress the 4K and get the cintiq. I saw plenty of 4K at CES, and we have some 4K security cameras that we've been testing, and 4K is kind of stupid right now. Yea it looks good as gently caress from a proper distance, but when there's a shitload of action on screen it doesn't look so good (notice all 4K demos are slow-mo of nature & animals?), apparently you need a better processor to handle lots of changing frames (which is why people buy the 3D 4K TVs even if they don't want 3D). I'd give it time to get better and maybe generate some real content. Unless you have a legitimate need for 4K I'd totally get the Cintiq. But I've never had a cintiq and I'm so anxious waiting for the Companion 2...

Also at CES I saw that cintiq monitor, and it's loving gorgeous. I hate to tell someone to do something just because it's what I would do(and I have no need or desire for 4K)... but that's what I would do.
