View 3 Replies View RelatedI was just wondering how many of you use tablets to do your photoshop work. I think I have come to the point where I could really use one to enhance my abilities. I did a search on here and came up with the Wacom name and I researched them a little bit and it looks like they have a great product. But I'm not really ready to pay 100 bucks for the smallest one. I'm looking more in the range of 40-50 bucks tops.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm thinking of getting one of these drawing tablets - but thought I'd ask you all about them.
Plenty of reviews in magazines, but I'd rather hear from people using them everyday.
Who here uses which tablet? What do you recommend?
NB I use a G5 Mac running OSX (10.4.6)
I apologize if this is posted in the wrong forum, but it seems to apply to techniques, so...I'm looking at Wacom tablets and hoping to buy one soon. My primary use would be for digital painting in Photoshop and the 6x8 size seems to be about right. Can anyone make any suggestions about whether I should go with Intuos or Graphire? I'm leaning toward the Intuos3 6x8, but that can get a bit pricey, even with academic discounts.
So I guess I have two questions. a) Does the Graphire series have what it takes to allow high-quality digital painting? b) Is there some way to find tablets for a lower price (I qualify for most academic discounts)?
Can anyone recommend a drawing tablet. I'm on a budget. What do you considered the "best bang for your buck".
Are Wacom tablets better than Adesso Tablets?
I saw an Adesso 12 x 9 @ 149.00, but the Wacom that size costs twice as much. I was also recommended a Wacom Graphire 4. 6 x 8.
Im looking to buy a graphics tablet instead of using a mouse. Are all tablets compatible with photoshop, what is the best size working area to get and can anyone recommend me a tablet thats not to expensive as im on a budget.

1. flipping wacom pen to pressure sensitive eraser photoshop switch to eraser tools, but the top menu did not switch to eraser properties
* would like switching to eraser tip, top menu also change to eraser options together, when flipping back to pen's tip, photoshop auto switch back to previous tool options this implies current workflow would be drawing and erasing with toolbox or shortcut B, E together with wacom pen tip rather than quick switch to eraser side. (if you need to change eraser options)
2. Photoshop CS5, CS6 for windows, while using wacom eraser tip to change Size or Hardness slide bars from the top, would remove the integer number inside the dialog, it causes a dialog would pop up with "An integer between 1 pixel and 5000 Pixels is required. Closest value inserted."
Click OK and popup will disappear, Size/Hardness would be filled with correct selected number again, it is troublesome, as size and hardness changes a lot while drawing. have to keep clicking OK on every changes.
(on screen opacity and flow slidebars works fine) Same changes to Size/Hardness slide bar work with normal pen tips side, and if using pen tips alone, (not using eraser tip) it is wonderful with new brush size & color picker shortcut added from CS5
#2 has been tested in mac version photoshop CS4, both Size and Hardness slider works fine without problem.
#1 + #2 made me work with pen tip + hot keys B,E all the time, eraser side is almost not in use, except erasing with the same size & hardness from last used
I just got in my Kodak DX4530 5.0MP Camera and Wacom ARTZII 12"x12" graphics tablet (256 levels of pressure). They are both setup and working fine!
Luckily enough the Kodak Camera is an easy "plug in play", in that I can plug it in, turn it on, and WinXP automatically makes it a "removable storage" device. Go in, pull images off, open in PS:CS, good to go.
My question is, who here uses Graphics Tablets. I've been told by SO MANY people that though they are odd and hard to master, once you do you'll never want to go back to mouse. Where I'm sure that nothing could COMPLETELY replace the gool ol mouse, such a tool for tracing, and perfect replication of the handwriting and drawing must come rather useful at many times.
Who here uses a tablet? What kind is it, and what can you recommend for someone starting out with one? How durable are these overlays? I noticed the stylus was battery and cordless.
I have two questions to be exact :
1) Can I use the drawing tablets like the Wacom Bamboo with Paint.net???
2) Can Paint.net be downloaded onto a netbook or a computing tablet/eReader???
When I use my mouse to use select tools (like the lasso, the outline lines that appear (that show the selected area) show up fine. When I use my tablet, usually, they are not visible.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Digipro tablet that I'm trying to use with GIMP on Mac OS X. I cannot get the pressure sensitivity to work. I've tried:
1) Setting the Quartz Pen in Input Devices to Screen Mode (also Quartz eraser) so that it will detect the pen.
2) Creating a new dynamic and adjusting pressure settings. The pen is detected but pressure settings aren't applied. Preset pressure dynamics don't work, either.
3) Making sure the pen pressure is working; it works fine in photoshop.
Does GIMP 2.8 not support Digipro?
I'm trying to make the edge of this image like the colors on a soap bubble, I've looked at tutorials for doing soap bubbles. It's not usually included in it. Sort of a blurred shiny transparent coloring if that describes it at all.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a project open in a 3d view to paint on a 3d mesh. Everything is fine until I save, close, and reopen. When I open the file to resume I can no longer paint on the model. I can still go to the UV (flat) view for any of the materials on the model but I can't paint on the mesh in 3d view.
I can open a new 3d layer, re-import the mesh, save and reapply all the previously painted texture to the new mesh layer and keep working but this seems not a very efficient work-flow.
I don't think many 3d pros actually use this piece of PS for texturing.This is the first time I've tried the 3d functionality of PS so I may just be overlooking something.
I was painting on top of a picture I took, with the Art History brush one day adding an oil painting look to it (I was working on a new layer and not the layer with my photo on it), at end of the day I saved my work I had done so far and quit the program. The next day, I went to continue my work. When I loaded my work, added a new layer for a new section of the painting I wanted to do. The Art History just painted in white instead of adding the oil painting effect I got the previous day. I picked the same brush presets and the colors on my palette were set to the default colors (the way they were the day before). so that I can continue on with my painting?

Is there a way to create selection just the same way like you may paint with brush (instead to draw with color to "draw with selection")?

I however have no idea how to do this short of heading at it with a the paintbrush tool. I'd appreciate insight into this and if not is there a possibility that someone has a single color photo of a 96 s-10 pickup that I could use the paint bucket on.

(I have Adobe Photoshop CS2)
I'm creating a 3d Avatar (human model) and getting tired of fixing seams when applying textures to my UV space. I HATE seams around the hairline, sides of shirt and pants, etc. Clean up can either be a pain or it looks bad.
I need a Photoshop plugin were you can paint in your UV areas and it will automatically "tile" your brush strokes so that there are no seams on your 3d model. Is there one out there?
Were you load up your UV layout in photoshop, define the UV areas and paint away without having to worry about seams when I apply it to my 3d model.
Is there such a plugin/script for Photoshop?
I'm trying to paint with a pattern I created but I'm having trouble doing so. I'm trying to follow the instructions in the photoshop manual but it almost seems as though they missed something (but it's probably me who's missing something). To create a pattern, it says to use the rectangle marquee tool to make a selection, setting feather to 0, choose edit -> define pattern, give it a name, and hit OK. So when I do that, nothing seems to happen after I hit OK. If I try to use the paint bucket tool, I still get the same monotonous color. How do I actually use the pattern I just created with the paint bucket tool?

i've sort of hit a road block. smudging colors together isn't getting it done for me anymore.
I am painting with the brush tool, (using the brackets to adjust the diameter of the brush) when the screen diameter of the brush becomes larger than about 60 pixels the cursor begins to disappear on the bottom right. More of the cursor disappears as the brush diameter increases.
