In fact I hated it for those things. What I did find it extremely useful for was as a mouse substitute. I'm left-handed, but I mouse right-handed and run into carpal tunnel repetiive strain or wtf it's called nowadays, and the tablet is really good for giving my right wrist a break (NJ). I suppose if you're straight-up right-handed, there's no benefit. The other things are drawing spline-based paths in both photoshop and 3d, and cleaning up dusty/linty/scratchy photo scans. Really, really excels at both these types of tasks that demand extreme precision.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42613.23&return_msg=42613.23" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42613.23"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42613_24"></a><div class="message" id="message_42613_24"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Peter (BOUGHTONP)<span class="message_time">24 Apr 2020 12:52</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ANT_THOMAS <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 24 Apr 2020 13:18"></span></span> <span class="message_count">24 of 29</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42613.24">42613.24</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42613.21">42613.21</a></div> <div class="message_body"> That'd just result in half-arsed crap, and I only do full-arsed crap. <span class="emoticon e_angry" title=":@"><span class="e__">:@</span></span> <p>Even if I skipped getting decent camera angles and ignored audio quality, there's the challenge of getting decent lighting without any studio equipment - I could probably fudge something with the relatively constant subdued natural light there is today, but not if it's too bright or cloudy like it has been on other days. </p><p>Also, I aint using YouTube, and looking into PeerTube/similar is more work.</p></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42613.24&return_msg=42613.23" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42613.24"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42613_25"></a><div class="message" id="message_42613_25"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Peter (BOUGHTONP)<span class="message_time">24 Apr 2020 13:08</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 24 Apr 2020 13:40"></span></span> <span class="message_count">25 of 29</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42613.25">42613.25</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42613.23#a42613_23" target="_self">42613.23</a></div> <div class="message_body"> If it was ultra-lowend it presumably had limitations on how you could hold the stylus?

I still have it but it's at the office, forgot to take it home), but has pretty low dpi and it is just small, which in a way is an advantage because it doesn't take up much desk space, is easy to carry, and can be traversed in a flick of the wrist which is why it makes an awesome mouse substitute when mapped full screen across spanned displays. My beef with using it for drawing and painting is there's no tactile feedback, you can't smell graphite dust and turpentine, undo is too easy, and you are looking elsewhere. I've done enough of the real thing to find it a pretty lame substitute. I also dislike digital artwork that tries to mimic real media in general.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42613.27&return_msg=42613.23" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42613.27"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42613_28"></a><div class="message" id="message_42613_28"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time">24 Apr 2020 14:23</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Peter (BOUGHTONP) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 25 Apr 2020 09:24"></span></span> <span class="message_count">28 of 29</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42613.28">42613.28</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42613.23#a42613_24" target="_self">42613.24</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Doesn't need to be Hollywood!<br /> <br /> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/u9NTUOeLYXg" style="height:360px;margin:0px auto;width:480px;"></iframe></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42613.28&return_msg=42613.23" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42613.28"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42613_29"></a><div class="message" id="message_42613_29"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Peter (BOUGHTONP)<span class="message_time">25 Apr 2020 09:27</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ANT_THOMAS <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 25 Apr 2020 10:08"></span></span> <span class="message_count">29 of 29</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42613.29">42613.29</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42613.23#a42613_26" target="_self">42613.26</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I will bring you joy in other ways. <p><br /> </p><p><small>(Ones that don't involve misbehaving autofocus... :P)</small></p></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42613.29&return_msg=42613.23" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42613.29"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </body>
