Wacom for editing
Hello, I was wondering how easy is it to use to edit photography on photoshop using wacom? Jul 21 14 04:30 pm Link Pretty easy, I use my wacom tablet but nearly all my retouching, I only use my mouse when I'm working on easy fashion stuff and I'm too lazy to pull out my tablet. I find it essential for beauty work and really just makes all work go faster. They're also pretty much whats exclusively used in professional retouching studios (at least the one I've been to, every station had the most advanced wacom and it's what everyone was using) so if you're looking to really get into it professionally it's a great tool to learn. Basically if you do a lot of healing/cloning or D&B work it's great. I could never go back to using just a mouse. Jul 21 14 04:42 pm Link Laura Bello wrote: Thank you very much for your answer! Jul 21 14 04:57 pm Link i've become so use to it that I don't even use a mouse any more even for other computer activities. There is an adjustment period that you go thru getting used to using the stylus but after that it becomes second nature and editing feels very natural with it. Jul 21 14 05:02 pm Link It just feels so much more natural retouching and doing digital art with a stylus pen on tablet vs using a mouse. Jul 21 14 05:29 pm Link after using one for a day, the mouse feels like a dull rock! Jul 21 14 05:50 pm Link I use a mouse for all normal computer work. But, I use the Wacom for all retouching - which makes it virtually effortless. The mouse just isn't the right tool for that. Jul 21 14 10:50 pm Link I use a wacom Tablet pen&touch. works like a. flower? It works very well Jul 22 14 11:14 am Link At first it takes a little getting used to, but after that it's effortless. Just like drawing. You can have total control on all kinds of detailing. Aug 06 14 01:47 pm Link I'm planning to get one too once I saw Scott Kelby using it in his retouching video tutorials. I believe he also has about an hour video tutorial on how to use it for retouching. Aug 07 14 10:03 pm Link for editing, i use mouse or the arrow keys and then the numbers 1-5 for ratings. for retouching i use the wacom. Aug 08 14 09:32 am Link I got one too but I haven't tried it yet... Good to know most people like using it Aug 08 14 10:29 am Link It's the only way to edit once you get the hang of it. The precision it offers and the pressure sensitive response makes using a mouse seem like painting with a brick. Aug 08 14 10:32 am Link Think about writing your name with the mouse and compare that with using a pen and you'll get the how big the difference is in speed and detail  Aug 09 14 08:23 am Link Once you switch to good tablet - its awfully hard to go back and do it any other way. Pressure control , stroke directions - all that is so easy and becomes second nature. However there are plenty of people who work with just mouse and do good job. Aug 12 14 08:31 am Link |
