Wacom Bamboo Art Pen Tablet…?
this is the product im talking about:
http://wacom.com/bamboocraft/
Okay so I have gained quite an interest in graphic design. I saw this tablet in the apple store in the mall and really liked it, so I came home and looked it up and it’s gotten great reviews, and I think its very affordable. But, what I want to know, it’s very focused around digital scrapbooking, and I don’t do that. I design logos for my church and notebook covers for my friends and other graphic art. But when I read the description, it sounds like EXACTLY what I want. What do you think? And if you don’t recommend this, what do you recommend?
Thanks
PS: I understand it comes with adobe photoshop 6.0 compatible for both windows and mac, I have 6.0 for my windows computer and would use it for my mac. Just throwing that out there that thats mainly what I use.
I have one and I love it. I don’t do scrap-booking either, I use mine for drawing and photo-manipulations; mostly drawing. The only problem I’ve had with it is that the cord is not the most durable thing there is; then again I do drag it around with me everywhere, so mine takes more of a beating than most people’s probably do; but the plastic on the cord started to split from being bent around so much and the wires inside started to fray a bit. Though I just re-enforced the it with duct tape to keep it from splitting anymore and it works perfectly fine. Over all it’s great, I definitely recommend it.
Unless you feel that you really need the mouse (chances are if you have a computer, you already have a mouse), the tutorial DVDs, magazine subscriptions, and extra programs (most of which seem to be for scrap-booking); I suggest just getting the regular Bamboo or Bamboo Fun instead of the Bamboo Craft.
The regular Bamboo costs about $60-70 depending on where you buy it and the Bamboo fun costs about $80 rather than $129 for the Bamboo Craft.
The diffences are that the regular Bamboo (what I have) comes with just the tablet, pen, pen holder, and basic instalation software.
The Bamboo Fun comes with the tablet, pen, pen holder, mouse, basic instalation software, and PS Elements
The Bamboo Craft’s extras much more scrap-book oriented; just look at the side colum of the link you posted. The only things is comes with that are actually useful for drawing and design are PS Elements 6.0 and Corel Painter, which you can find for free online.
The PS program is not actual PS, it’s PS Elements 6.0; PS6 doesn’t even exist yet (they just recently came out with PS4). Elements is decent (I have Elements 5.0) but it does lack some of the features that actual PS have such as cell shading and being able to link layers together without merging them. If you can find an actual PS for free (either PS3 or PS4) I recomend it over Elements. Actual PS costs, I think, about $600 if you’re wanting to buy it; don’t know how much Elements costs or if it’s even sold separatly.
Corel Painter is a digital painting program, I’ve never actually gotten to try it but I have a friend who uses it and makes some really nice paintings with it.
