Wacom Intuos - thoughts?

Raymond Lin · 24 Dec 2012 at 00:13

Thinking of getting a Wacom to help with the work flow in the new year, thinking of the Intuos range as opposed to the Bamboo, the question is what size. Anyone got one of these care to share your thoughts?

Thanks

Medium is the best balance unless you have a huge desk, even then I think Medium would be my choice as the large can actually be too big unless you are long-limbed and I think you're a shorter chap if I remember rightly. The small sizes really are pretty tiny so are okay to play with but quite frustrating for image creation or photo editing (I'm guessing it's the latter you're interested in

).

The general consensus is to buy the Medium, unless you 'draw' from the elbow. Most draw from the wrist, so the medium is the best choice.

Medium it is

I use a medium intuos at work and liked it so much I bought one for home, worth the extra in my opinion.

Got it today with the wireless kit, it is amazing, like a giant trackpad !

Now to install PS. (new iMac arrived today too)

Post up some of your work efforts using it ^^
I've got a cintiq at the moment which is awesome for sketching and Zbrush but I'm thinking of picking up a Medium intuos 5 for quicker painting and when on the move. Is the touch feature any good?

i am not sure there will be any sketches any time soon ! its for photo editing work more than anything else.

Dodging and burning is so much easier on a tablet. I have a large Intuos3 myself, but I bought it more for design work than photography. Enjoy.
