Wacom Inkling Digital Pen Review

Posted 01/20/2012 at 11:10am | by Ambika Subramony

Wacom’s Inkling is a fabulous concept: draw in your own notebook, with a real pen, and easily download digital versions of those drawings onto your computer. In theory, it improves on existing digital tools--support for layers makes it more flexible than a scanner, and real ink and paper offer better feel and control than a tablet. The Inkling should be a perfect bridge between digital and analog art. Unfortunately, the product still has a few kinks to work out before we can truly sings its praises. The Inkling certainly does what it sets out to do--it effectively captures a digital likeness of anything you sketch. We just wish it did a better job.

Bamboo Connect Pen Tablet Review

Posted 11/21/2011 at 10:01am | by Nic Vargus

Comment

In more ways than one, the Bamboo Connect is the pen tablet for people who don’t need pen tablets. Graphic designers and other digital artists won’t be satisfied with its small active area, plasticky pen, or featureless simplicity. So who would get something out of it? Pretty much everyone who’s curious about a tablet but isn’t willing to drop a lot of money on that curiosity. Even the box advertises how awesome it is for things like “handwritten notes, sketches, and doodles.” In other words, no matter who you are, you don’t need it. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth buying.

Wacom Cintiq 21UX

Despite what it might sound like at first, Wacom’s Cintiq monitor/tablet combo isn’t just a wacky gimmick--although it does feel pretty sci-fi and futuristic. Essentially, it’s all the technology of the Intuos4 tablet crammed into a 21.3-inch touch-sensitive display. The Cintiq boasts 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity--double that of the previous generation--and the ability to recognize the angle of the pen in applications like Photoshop and Painter. Our tests revealed smooth lines while painting with the Brush tool and more realistic strokes as the Cintiq matched our natural drawing angle.

Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch

If you’ve become accustomed to the MacBook’s multitouch capabilities, you’ll find yourself missing them when you use a desktop Mac. Wacom has an answer, care of its recently refreshed Bamboo line, which adds a new take on tablet input. We tested the Bamboo Fun, which recognizes the pen, as well as touch input from your fingers--including some multitouch gestures. For long-time tablet users who are used to pen-only control, the addition of touch capabilities is nice, especially in image editors like Photoshop and iPhoto, where using two-finger pinches and reverse pinches can zoom in and out of images. You can also use gestures to rotate images. It’s not a feature that comes into play all that often, but it’s welcome when you do need it. There are nine touch gestures in total, but they’re all limited to one- and two-finger motions--and that’s one to two fingers short of the three- and four-finger gestures supported by the latest MacBooks.

Wacom Intuos4

Tablets are often thought to be just for graphic designers who’ve eschewed the mouse for something “more organic.” They wave their hands over the magical device and create art out of nothing. What most Mac people don’t realize is that the tablet isn’t just a designer’s tool. It’s useful for nearly anyone who puts in serious time in front of a computer. With its wealth of customization options, Wacom’s Intuos4 becomes a useful input device for a variety of applications, and its sensitivity makes it a great tablet for the traditional audience of graphics pros. Wacom’s new line of Intuos4 tablets has raised the bar in the tablet game.
