wacom question

[salmonmoose]

The Wacom is position relative, with a 4x5 the top left of the tablet is the top left of your screen, and the bottom right of the tablet is the bottom right of your screen.

This is reasonably workable if you work on pretty broad strokes, or zoom in a bit.

You can also change the active area, setting the points on your screen you wish to be represented by the tablet.

If your screen is not approximately the same ratio as the tablet (4:5) you will find that if you draw a circle it will come out as an elipse. setting the active area to the right ratio will get you past this.

thanks antrent you clear my eyes :scream:
i think 4x5 its good for a non profesional a pretty small active area but a cheaper one.
the 6x8 i think its great size i think will be more confortable

what you guys think?:buttrock:

edit: and what about of level of presure? its 512 enough?:shrug:

I own the above mentioned wacom. And use the 6x8 one at work. For the real world use they are about the same. Cost wise its smarter to go with the 4x5 get best bang for the buck.
I bought 3 of them and 2 are still new sealed in box. Haven't wore out my first one yet...might sale the other to on ebay i think. Great product long lasting, and cheap at 100USD.

yeah i think 4x5 its nice but i have my doubts size wise, what do you think about that?
i think 6x8 its more confortable but i didnt met em in person im speaking by the pictures

100 bucks its very nice and i think the price its going down but 6x8 caught my eye
can you tell me the diferences between this 2(hand position, screen scaling etc) :love:im going to look at em tomorrow and i got to be sure!:deal::applause:

thanks for your attention Draconic:thumbsup:

I like my 4x5 it doesn't get in my way, however, I've always been tight with my strokes and never needed much more room than that.

512 levels is fine, chances are you are only painting in 24 bit, which offers 256 levels :)

Personally I'd go for an Intuos before I went to a bigger size, the tilt sensitivity goes a long way :)

i need to think about it 4x5 or 6x8 graphire, how about a intous 4x5????

Antrent has a valid point if you can afford the intuos 4x5 that would be of great use than a graphire4 6x8

Go ahead and sell those, you are not going to wear out the tablet anytime soon. I have had my Graphire2 4x5 for just about 5 years now as my only pointing device and other than the erasor (knocked the pen off the desk too many times) it still works fine.

Yeah I put those graphires on ebay they both sold with buy it now option. Now I got some extra cash to build a new system with.. Yippey.:)
