I might be able to trade me a wacom intuos for my old playstation, has anyone used an intuos 1 (not the new intuos2) and what did s/he think of it?

I have a graphire 2, which i believe is the cheapest wacom you can get, and it works great, as far as tablets go, im not sure if trading a playstation is worth it though.

I really regretted getting rid of my playstation before uni, (3 years ago). let it go at a snip as well for £80 with shedloads of stuff all mint boxed.. duh.!
i don't think that the intuos is worth the playstation, but it's a good tablet. I personally use a genius newsketch which is pretty d**n sweet.

I own an Intuos (1), A3 sized, and it is very good quality. Very nice to work with. The Graphire series is the one blow - Intuos is for professionals, so by all means, go for it!
You might also want to register your tablet on Wacoms website once you have it (so you can get some support)...
Good luck!

OK a little off topic, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Anybody tried the cintiqNo picture can ever do this thing justice, costs $5000 and is worth every cent, if I had that sort of money I'd buy it in a second. I actually had a chance to use it (if somewhat dishonestly, while the tech guy left the room after locking me inside... heh heh heh) at a PhotoShop/Apple/Wacom convention about a year ago and there is nothing like it. Seriously if you ever get a chance to try it, do so!!! ...and by chance, I mean even if you have to take out a group of armed guards. |

I think she means that the quality of the intuos in much higher, and is more suitable for professionals (not that you NEED one if you're a professional, or vice versa.) That cintiq looks sweet... the only real way of using a tablet (IMO). I could never get into using a wacom or anything since you are looking at a screen, not at the pad with the stylus... it's too awkward for me. |

A friend of mine bought something like that back from malaysia, not sure it was a Wacom though, it was about 13" corner to corner drawing area. That was about 18 months ago, the reason i remember it is because it only cost him £1500 ($2500 us ??)
[offtopic]
he also bought back the smallest sony laptop i've ever seen, about the size of a small pencil tin when closed, 800mhz when plugged in to the mains. i haven't seen anything that small and that fast in europe yet. and it had this wierd built in camera that could render real time video effects and compressed them into DV format.

I still prefer the tried-and-true pencil and paper method. I used to have a crappy Pablo Kidboard tablet that came with Art Dabbler, but it sucked....
I have so much more control over what I'm drawing when I am physically creating it.....
Fhein: are you talking about an original playstation? If so, get rid of that thing.....you could buy a used psx for $30 now... methinks the intuos is worth much much more.

To be honest, I'm really good with drawing, but even a tablet cant match my mouse skills so I rarely use mine, right now its serving as a mousepad for this POS mac thats next to my main comp here at work.

I've got a Wacom Intuos 6x9 at work and a 12x12 at home. I actually kind of prefer the 6x9.
I also got to use a 18sx Cintiq a few months back. Some Wacom reseller brought it down to the office and let me keep it for a week to try it out....holy hannah that thing was awesome. Going back to a tablet after using a cintiq was like cutting off my right arm and having to draw with my left. I'm still trying to convince my boss to get me one. Either that or a pool table for the break room.

nobody will probably read it because the main board is up, but it'd feel kinda stupid to take this discussion up there..
yes, it's an original playstation (with mod-chip and extra controller) and I would've been happy to sell it for $50.. Now I just have to check that the tablet doesn't have an ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) connector, because there's no way I'd be able to use it with a pc if it has..
and I spoke to a guy yesterday who bought a 17" tablet monitor for £900, but I'm not quite sure if it was for drawing on or just touch-screen

I have so much more control over what I'm drawing when I am physically creating it..... heh heh heh, this ain't no tablet drawing, I was gonna tell you this before but decided to wait to see if anybody cared first.... OK so you not going to believe me.. or even if you do you won't get me unless like z0mbi you have tried it, but this thing actually feels better than drawing on paper. No joke, from the very second I started using it, it felt like I had been writing in an un-natural way all my life till that moment. It was incredible, my signature was the smoothest I had ever written it and there was no background software doing this for me it was just the cintiq. The secret is in the surface of the screen, which has been designed specially so that it has just the right amount of friction. And you know the way if you write on a surface that is too hard, you writing sux and if you do it on a surface that is too soft the pen just goes right through or some other annoyance, well the screen had this just right too. But the beater of them all is the way the beast moves, resizes and performs actions with windows, seriously you'll be throwing away your mouse withing 2 seconds, and will start using the pen to do all direct interaction at least two times faster. Some day RyDeFly, you will see what I mean and then you'll remember this post and come back here raving about how f-ing cool it is, just like what I'm doing now. |
