Although it isn’t a real play thingy… It will be rather useful to me!
Anyway, I always wanted to have a drawing tablet for my computer. Specially after someone showed me how handy such a tablet can be with processing pictures. Oh sure, everything is also possible with a mouse. But with such a tablet things will go easier and faster (for instance you can jump from one side of the screen to the other, while with a mouse you have to drag the cursor to the point where you want it. Now it is just one click with the pen on the wanted position and the cursor is there).
Many functions are very easy to access. But maybe even most important, when making very precise and small adjustments to a picture the tablet will be way more useful as the mouse.
But I admit, it will take some time to get really used to it. But that is okay :).
Hi Rob,
Nice to see that you have bought a tablet after you tried my one. You are right though, in the beginning you have really to get used to working with the pen and tablet.
Most important things to remember:
– Hold the pen on the desired distance from the tablet (and that is hard in the beginning)
– Place the tablet in a good position to work with. Make sure you have enough room to move your hand and that you have a place where your hand can rest.
– Make sure sleeves of sweaters and such are not in the way.
– Only use the tablet where it is really useful :P.
Does your new tablet also has a touch function?
