I own a 13in Cintiq and find it to be a bit of a waste, while its in the cintiq family... its not really that awesome a piece of hardware, the screens resolution is really quite bad which makes for annoying times where you feel like your trying to draw between pixels.


If anything, I would buy a used one. where it still has the warranty


save the cash, and buy a new huge screen for your computer. should make it easier.

"The tut" .. what tut?

I tried to rotate the screen. It made the spinning arrow as if it was going to rotate, but then does nothing. I even used Ctrl + T to free transform it and then try to rotate it but I had to type in the values manually.



This sounds like a problem. I'm sorry you're unhappy with it. I've got a 32" computer screen so I don't think a bigger one would be necessary. I have no problem in using the bamboo, it's just the fact that it's so god damn sensitive I could paint while the stylus is a mile away from the tablet itself. I've seen videos of people using their Cintiqs first hand, and they have such a natural response that it caught my attention immediately. The pen pressure for the cintiqs is also a lot higher than the bamboos. I was thinking about getting the 22hd refurbished. $1,500 is very expensive but if it can do everything it says, then I feel practicing on the cintiq 22hd and getting good on that rather than the bamboo would be a better decision for me.

I love to work things out without having to circumvent the issue entirely, so if someone can tell me if there is a way to fix that sensitivity problem then I'm happy to hear it. Maybe it's the cheap bamboo. Are the intuos any good? 21UX? I'm just looking to have a good tablet.

A bamboo is a good tablet
you call it "cheap" acting like its crappy but not really, most digipainters will use them
and create very high quality stuff

Well then why is it an attempt at a smooth curve looks like a fucking square made by a mouse in paint?

did you check your settings?
My tablet draws fine

it might be your tablet too...
You said you had a bamboo or something like that.
Maybe the specs are not for drawing...
I use the intuos 4 and everything is pretty damn smooth (and the tablet is kinda cheap too since it's an older version)

unless you work in digital media as your career, it just seems like a waste of money.

it could very well be your settings, but do what makes you happy i guess.

I'll take it off your hands

Yeah man, there are such few settings. Mainly just pointer acceleration and left / right handed configuration. This Bamboo Capture isn't that good. I just wish I could show you guys how bad the hovering is. It takes like a minute to draw a circle because of it.



That's what I'm starting to think. I'm just going to get an Intuos because $1.5k is a retarded price tag and I can't stand this one.
