First edit using a Graphic Tablet

P-E · 31-12-2006, 11:05

Wasn't sure where to show this one so I have put it in here

I wanted to have a play with my new Graphic Tablet so picked this picture that was a little flat and had suffered from flare.

Looks good..nice light.

Have you changed it much from the original? How did you find the using tablet?

questions...questions!!

Cheers Cotter.

I will have to do a review regarding the tablet when I have used it a little longer

First impressions are good even though I did keep wanting to grab hold of the mouse to edit.

I would say the image has had more work on it than I would normally want to do but I might just print this one off and put it on my wall

Have you sussed the pressure sensitive effect with brushes ? I just couldn't suss it when doing layer masks etc with my Wacom tablet & ended up reverting to mouse. Other than that , found it great for detailed work.

It was a little strange when it came to using the brushes........I was afraid to press on too much in case I damaged it.

It took me a long time with the Wacom to get used to it and use it for some benefit. I think that it is worth the effort.

Had that said a few times

......sorry

Seriously thanks for the comment

I have just had another play with the image and will post it along with the original RAW file to show how much I have manipulated it.

Some interesting work here, well done P-E. If I might just reply to a comment regarding the use of brushes with a graphics pen: Until you get used to using the pen, I would turn off the pen pressure mode and use it so that you know whatever size you have selected, that is the area that will be affected.

Always use a soft brush so that you don't get any obvious tell-tale signs of brush work. Once you get used to it, turn the pressure sensitivity on and start to get used to the way it works. You will actually find a lot of the benefits of using a graphics pen for photo editing actually work better without the sensitivity turned on, certainly in the early days.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Rob
