Well, much to my suprise, I found out yesterday that my school has a wacom tablet in the media center. I had to try it. This was the result. It makes a pretty cool wallpaper. Enjoy and thanks for taking a peek. If you feel compelled to comment, I appreciate any left under the image.TheBryster posted Wed, 29 October 2003 at 9:41 PM Forum Moderator
I use an AIPTEK graphics tablet on PSP7, wow does it speed things up! I can even assign shortcuts to the tablet's 12 assign points!

I keep thinking about buying a tablet, but want some other new bits for the pc first :-) I wouldn't know which to buy either.

all tablets are great. They mak working with images so much easier. I bought mine really cheap, it's not the best you can get but it get the job done.

I bought the JAM Studio tablet for under $20. I'd never used a tablet before, but I can tell you this one sucks. I'll be getting a new one soon. Any recommendations that won't break the bank?

All I've tried are wacom tablets, but trust me, they are probably the best + extremely fun.

I had a Wacom for ages and after getting used to it, I couldn't be separated from it. But it doesn't like my laptop (it's an old serial version that draws power from the keyboard socket) and so I bought a Packard Bell one. It works fine and does the job, but I don't have the same relationship that I had with the Wacom. So Wacom gets my vote. But the PB only cost about 50 GB Pounds. SO it was a bargain. BUT the major pain is, it doens't have a way of changing it from absolute to relative, so makes it real tricky to use in Bryce. The Wacom let me set each program as one or the other. This seems a good place to ask... How do they work? Can't be magnetic, is it radio waves or something? The wacom was cordless but didn't have a battery in the pen. How how how does it work?

The tablet is pressure sensitive. The harder you push down on a certain part of the tablet the darker the line will be.

Yeeeessss, but how does that work. I mean technically, how does the tablet know where the pen is, how hard it's being pressed etc. There're no cables linking the pen now a days. Just amazes me. With a mouse, I can work out how that works. But tablets.... amazing. (OK, yeah, I'm easily impressed)

I use a Wacom Intuos 2 6x8 tablet with Photoshop, Painter, Illustrator, 3D Studio Max and I love it and think they're great. This model cost a little over $300.00 USD. They allow you the freedom to be more natural when sketching and painting. I have no clue as to exactly how they work.
