Each of the regular pictures edited with Lightroom, Photoshop or another professional program often comes up against the limits of his mouse. I very soon started it about buying a Graphic Tablets thinking but again I have come to the conclusion that the mouse still enough for my can with Photo editing programs. Two months ago, but I have so begun to make photomontages and suddenly the mouse was really insufficient.
So finally I had to myself zufertigen the excuse I needed to legally buy a Graphic Tablets.
Since I had looked around for some time what options are available for me was already clear that there will be a Wacom tablet and there by chance shortly before the new Wacom has come CTH-680S Intuos out I've taken advantage of the situation and me the same times, the most recent bought model and did not regret that decision.
I opted for the medium size with a friend because I had the opportunity before to try a Wacom Tablet in size S and M and my Small simply was too small, I have come on a regular basis outside the drawing field. That did not happen to me with the medium size. This friend used but rather the size of the S tablets so it's just a matter of taste.
The pen is very sturdy, fits comfortably in your hand and looks on top of that also look good, I let the blue ribbon above, should one that can be "covenant" to change color to black also.
The tablet itself is also well made, the port for the Micro USB connector is easily accessible, I have not yet ordered any wireless kit to so I still hang on the cable, which I noticed as is the cable on the left infected is , However, I am left-handed and also my laptop is also my right ie. with the cable there is a little scarce, especially when I put the tablet next to my keyboard as I thought it at first, even shorter, the cable would be if I had a StandPC is under the table, I had but a Micro USB cable which is also in has fitted the shaft and was longer than the supplied cable thus this problem has made fairly easily solved. But in the long run I will always away from the cable and Wireles Kit'm going to order!
The structure of the surface of the tablet is very similar to paper, you have a good and authentic feel while writing / drawing what I find very pleasant. I have thus not easy to skid feel on the surface as in some Grapik tablets was the case I have tasted that had a completely smooth surface.
What I also better at this than the Bamboo Tablet Like predecessors are the 4 buttons so you do not see at first glance. Moreover, I find the lighting very well laid out, the left is a white light when the tablet gets power, the left is a beautiful blue light when the tablet is receiving a signal from the pin. Respectively above and below the lighting are the buttons you using the supplied software (although I would recommend the latest software from the Wacom page down load) can also adjust individual.
The touch function I actually always disabled, this can be easily via a switch (top right) turn on and off. What I find it nice that's he hand side is not registered as a touch when I'm writing with the pen and my hand is touching the tablet, would therefore work great as well as all with the touch function but I am not got along, so I have it almost always disabled ...
Wacom has here produced a class graphics tablet! I need just a little it does not get used always the same instinct to reach for the mouse but to use the Graphic Tablet.
