Graphics Tablets

[Sprite]

I did a search and tuned up 100 threads, but they all had nothing to do with graphics tablets directly. So I use a Wacom Intuos3, and its awsome, ive been using it for about a year now or close to a year anyway, I was wondering if anyone else uses one of these, or any other make of graphics tab?

I love mine, so easy to use and very effective when playing Solitaire (not kidding either), I use it in various programmes, but it works in 99% of my progs.

What size? A5? And how much did it cost?

I'm getting a Volito 2 soon. It's only A6 size, but it's also only £40 and looks like great buy.

Wacom's entry-level Volito 2 A6 tablet is perfect for those who want finer control over photo editing and computer artwork. It's easy to install: just run the installation CD and connect the tablet to a spare USB port.

Considering it's so cheap, the Volito 2 works very well. It's pressure sensitive, so you can vary the thickness and intensity of the colours you put down. The tablet responds well to the pen, providing smooth movement across the whole screen. The pen has two user-definable buttons, which you can set to specific functions, such as right-click. For this price it's a bargain and perfect for anybody who is new to using a tablet.

I use a slightly older Wacom A4 tablet. It's quite handy in certain applications but very hard to write with!

yes its an A5, and cost me about £250 if I remeber corectley, but it even recognises if you lean the pen over onto its side, like if you use coral painter XI it can recognise this leaning, & in response it spreads out the bush strokes and manipulates the virtual brush to do what a real life brush would do, very snazzy.

Yeh you do allot of photoshoping, you will wonder how you used a standard mouse once you have used one of these, they are great fun and make light work of otherwise time comsuming jobs.

You should try Dabs, they have the Volito2 for £34.99 including VAT. LINK
