ive seen these being sold, ive seen them on display and all i think around $ 100-200 ? Id like to see a review on how it works on photoshop from your experience though.


Honestly id just buy a touch screen monitor and use a special pin. you can now buy them a 22" dell MTM for $ 350.

Don't get the advantage of the pressure sensitive tip with a touchscreen. I have a very cheap little one, which can be annoyingly glitchy sometimes, but when it's working properly I love it.

yeah, it´s pretty impressive what you can do with photoshop and 1024 pressure levels, i´ve used touchscreens with pencils and stuff, with presure levels and all and what i can say is that i like a lot more a tablet..
also the tablet has paper like tip and surface wich makes it pretty real and the eraser feels like rubber too :)

How you feeling about it after having it a while mace? I bought a bamboo for home use and quickly traded in for a intuos 3 about a week later. I did not care for the size of the drawing area and I was having issues with the pressure sensitivity. The intuos just felt better all around for me, but I have seen some amazing artwork created with a bamboo.

Here is a pic of me at my desk at work, pretty sick setup. 27" imac with all the bells and whistles and I Wacom Cintiq 21ux. The Cintiq is amazing, I have been working on it for about 6 months now and hate having to use my intuos at

nothing better than a wacom when it comes to track building for me. Mess with the settings to get it set up for you and you'll adapt much faster. Kinda like a suspension set up, everyone has their own style and set up

i´ve have thinking about using it for that, it´s there a tutorial to do tracks on ps?
as an example, an outdoor track would be so hard to figure out, i mean, how can you know what witheness of the color is the highness that you´re looking for ingame, i dno if i eplained myself :oops:
or how would you do the jumps in a sx track, with the gradient tool?
i reckon that should be very usefull for making ruts tho.
