Hi all, hope your all keeping well. I am just putting a post on here to perhaps help people who are thinking about getting a tablet for PP work etc.
I recently (last week) purchased the Wacom Intuos 5 Small form a well known web retailer. I had been thinking about this for nearly a year now, and had a play with the Wacom Bamboos in a shop. But after reading lots (and I mean lots) of reviews, watching lots of video reviews.
I decided to get the Wacom Intuos 5 small. Reasons for my choice, looked at size first, medium means too much hand / arm movement for me (only got one screen BTW) small seems right (actual area is approx A5) which maps to my entire screen size. So one quick easy movement from bottom left of tablet to top right gets me across my screen quite quick.
The main reason for going for Intuos and not Bamboo was the pressure levels 2000+ apposed to 1024 (think that's the number) and the issue that some people and reviewers have with Bamboo on Lightrooms compatibility.
The pen is so much more precise and flowing when using adjustment brushes , than mouse/ trackball. A lot more natural and so easy to get exactly what and where you want it to do.
I must say after only a week of using it for all my PC work, and taking advice form this great forum of hiding my trackball. I love the tablet, I am now thinking how did I live without it. I have customized most of the gestures and pen strokes etc. My workflow is so much quicker, and easier.
If anyone else has a Intuos 4 or 5 , would be nice to see or here what your setting are. I will try to get few screen shots and post mine on here.
So I would really really recommend this to anyone getting serious about PP work.
One question for any current users, when I am on the far right of my screen on Lightrooms, and trying to move sliders (values etc) my pen seems to jump a bit, or its move the values too quick. What methods do you use and why. (hope this makes sense)
Keep up the great work on the forums, I love my daily trawl over peoples posts, I have learn so much form this great site over the 2 year I have been a member, just regret I don't post as much as others. Love the Photoshop section BTW.
