The two main problems are getting strokes to fall exactly where I want them and avoiding the stair-step thing on my lines. It takes a little longer to get the lines the way I like them on the intuos than on the cintiq. It is a graphics tablet, but not a screen tablet like the cintiq. Luckily, I still had my old wacom intuos pro. So, my cintiq was out of commission for the entire second half of my recent Genie Loophole project. Especially if you’re out of the warranty period.) (If you have one of these, do yourself a favor and buy a spare cord to keep around, because they break ALL THE TIME and wacom can’t seem to keep them in stock. Seriously, wacom? Seriously?!? And it took TWO MONTHS for them to send me a replacement because they were out of stock. I bought it because my wonderful wacom cintiq had ANOTHER 3-in-1 cord fail on me. There are a bunch of other cool features as well that you absolutely should play with. So, when you want to draw almost-perfect shapes or lines, but not so perfect that it doesn’t look hand-drawn, this does that beautifully. The great thing about these rulers is that you can adjust the precision. It lets you specify how much you want it to average out your strokes, so it’s totally adjustable for your preferences.Īnother totally useful things it does is that it has a ton of different types of on-screen rulers to help you draw lines, curves, shapes in perspective, spirals, etc. What it primarily does is smooth your strokes for you, which eliminates the regrettable stair-step pixelated lines you sometimes get if you’re zoomed out too far when you draw or when your processor is being stupid. I’d like to plug a Photoshop plug-in that I discovered a couple months ago and I think it’s absolutely wonderful.
