Wacom: woops all gone!

[DMack]

I'm surprised...I work with a rather old wacom (before intuos and the fancy pen grip) and it works fine....that said, it has gone super crazy on me a few times.....as if expceting a mouse input.....

Same here, I use messiah with a cheap Wacom Graphire A6, in mouse mode, and it works just fine. Maybe your Wacom has a problem...?

Thanx guys!

Strange the cheapie works on 10 other apps,.... maybe I should see if there is a driver update from Wacom.

:thumbsup:

I´m a tablet-only user since a couple of months, using IntousII in penMode(=very nice) without any trouble (expept I would like a select only-mode, I often select and move/rotate..).

using driver 478-6 ...

Hey there,

I'm looking around for a wacom tablet, but which one do i gotta choose?
The main thing i wanna do with it is art like this: painting/drawing.
is the Volito good enough or do i gotta buy the graphire3 A6 or just an other one?
Thank's already..:)

I never used the Volito, but knowing that it is a low end tablet, as is the Graphire, meaning that they have less resolution, I'd go for the Intuos series if you intend to do serious drawing and painting. A Intuos A5 is a good choice for most applications IMO.

The one thing I hate is small tablets. A6 is rather weird if you have a big monitor or even two of them. At some point, the translation in size becomes a bit tedious (at least for me).
I use an ages old serial 12" x 12" UD Wacom that still works flawless.
Be sure to give it a try somewhere before you buy it. Your personal "feeling" should make the deal.
I don't know the newer tablets so I can't help with the flavors.

Cheers,

Thank you guys!
Ill check around and i will look for a Intuos! (maks). And Thomas i will check what i like personaly.

Well, I think there is a golden mid :) While the A6 is definately too small and has not enough definition for serious painting ( I have one ;), A5 is the perfect size for me, everything above makes me loose too much time by going from one end of the tablet to the other ;) For serious painters A4 and above might be just fine though, but you better have some fortune under your mattress :)

Yes, that is why I advised to test it out personally :)
My wacom is the oldest piece of hardware I still use (~8 years or more) so the fortune I spent at that time was rather well invested. But that is always a personal preference.
I just wanted to point out that A6 is veeeeeery small :)
And A4 isn't that big if it spans over two 22" monitors ;)

Anyway, just my 2 cents

Cheers,

i got a 19" so i think A5 will be good for me...
