I've used a Wacom Intuos Pro (wireless) for some time. Tablets are great, for retouching in particular. The real strength of using a stylus, versus a mouse, is the huuuuuge degree of control and precision it gives you. So much so, in my opinion, if you DON'T do a lot of re-touching/detailed corrections, you may want to reconsider buying a tablet to begin with.I been think about getting a Wacom pro tablet, it will be used for photo editing in PS & LR so anyone here use this or any other tablet for photo editing, are they hard to get used to and does it speed up the time spent photo editing?
Oh... I just meant don't buy a "cheap" tablet is all. Wacom tablets are the industry standard for a lot of good reasons while cheap tablets are not just not worth it. I can't EVEN tell you how many off-brand tablets we burned-out/had fall apart in the classroom at the college I work at over the years. Once we started using Wacom tablets the only reason I've had to authorize replacement is because of theft. Which skyrocketed... *sigh*Cheers Horoscope Fish, i understand all you suggested above, but one thing you said, " Drop the extra dime for a legit Wacom. Seriously." can you explain please?
I use a medium myself... I would not want anything larger.I was doing some editing the other day, my daughter walked past, looked at what i was doing and suggested i used her Wacom Intuos Pro(medium). I'm giving it real consideration
I mapped the tablet working-surface to match the monitor screen-size. Maybe I'm not seeing something here but, I'm not sure why you would want to set it up any other way?Just got the new wacom intuos pro so far so good, anyone set their own tablet mapping sizes?
I know exactly what you mean; this is why I suggest people who are considering a tablet get a small tablet (versus a medium, or large); a smaller tablet means less movement of your arms/hands.I am fiddling about with different tablet mapping sizes, find it better to just move your hand a bit rather that the whole way across the tablet? if you know what i mean?
Okay, I follow that. Interesting setup... Are you right-handed?Yes it makes sense, i have it set up to match the bottom left hand corner and about half way up the tablet and about half the width of the tablet, great bit of kit.
I don't use Ligthroom; I'm a Photoshop guy. I do use Adobe Camera Raw a lot (which *is* Lightroom for all intents and purposes) for global edits and minor retouching. I use Photoshop for aesthetic/creative effects and serious retouching. I don't like how Lightroom uses a catalog however, and I can't live without Smart Objects and Layers which is why I've focused on learning Photoshop exclusively.yes right handed, i haven't set up PS yet still messing about with tablet mapping in LR to see what i like the best? do you use lightroom?
Put the cursor on the adjustment pointer, lightly press down on the tablet with the pen and drag the pen to pull the adjustment slider to where you want it.Ok so PS uses sliders as well as LR, so how do you move your sliders?
Interesting... Is this a Windows 10 issue? I'm running Win7 and haven't noticed this issue.I tried that but nothing so i found this video works a treat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d3ynnOX3pw
