They can be configured to perform a variety of functions and keystrokes that you use regularly. These are programmable hot keys located on at the side of the graphics area. The only other drawback is that you give up a couple of express keys. The small tablet still has a sizeable working area and if you work on a dual monitor setup, you can map this to a single screen which increases the resolution and precision you can achieve. The amount of hand movement required to navigate around the medium tablet also becomes tiring during long editing sessions, especially if you map the table to just one screen, effectively increasing the resolutions of the tablet. There is a considerable difference in size between the medium tablet and the small tablet as can be seen from the specifications below.
The downside to this is that the larger the tablet, the more desk space it takes up. The closer to a 1:1 ratio you get, the more precise you can be with the pen on the tablet surface. Relate this to an image on your screen printed on to the graphics tablet. The smaller the map, the greater the scale and the less detail you have. All of them said with a larger graphics area on the tablet, you could be much more precise. When I purchased the medium version a few years ago, I read lots of reviews by pro photographers. When I say a little, I mean a lot but don’t give up. I struggled initially when trying to switch to a graphics tablet, but with a little perseverance it does become second nature. We have been so conditioned to using a mouse to operate a computer that even though we have used pens and pencils for much longer, it no longer feels natural when operating a computer. They do not have to replace the mouse, but most people tend to abandon the mouse once they are proficient with a tablet and pen.īecoming proficient with the pen tool is the point at which most people struggle. The theory is that using a pen is more natural, and you have finer control than is possible with a mouse. It’s a fair question, and one I will answer in this post.įor those of you not familiar with graphics tablets, they consist of a drawing surface and a pen and are designed to be used in place of a mouse for editing. You’re probably wondering why I want to add a small version of the tablet if I already have the more expensive and larger medium sized tablet. I moved up to a Wacom Intuos Pro medium tablet about five years ago and have since added a Wacom Intuos Pro small to my editing workflow. I started out with a Bamboo tablet years ago when I tried my hand at graphic design. I’ve been using Wacom Intuos tablets for a couple of years now.
