Tablet fun!

Journal Entry: Tue Nov 3, 2009, 9:15 AM
Well, I usually writing in English. Anddd I still will, but hey, this entry is mostly for Russians :) Read it, if you're Russian and looking for a tablet. Enjoy!

So... New year is coming! I'd agree, not too fast, but still coming. What do you want as present? I want to get from parents a new tablet - Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen&Touch Medium. What am I looking for?
- WACOM! Not Genius please. Terrible issues I got. If a tablet - only Wacom does!
- Definitely not smaller than A5 (Medium) - just because I already have it (actually, it's a big A6 IMO)
- 1024 or 512 gradations of pressure - doesn't matter. But my tablet already has 1024, so.. why go worse?
- Good software (Wacom has good one, I hope) - main troubles with my tablet were caused by just mean software.

If I'll get this Bamboo I'll write review for both my tablets - Genius and Wacom. Obviously I can write review for Genius now as well and I'll do.

... I got the tablet. Want to say 'Yay!', but can't. Why, you ask? I have laptop and desktop - I'm using laptop for internet and such, it's my main computer. But unfortunetly on the laptop this damned tablet won't work. Now I know the reason: the mouse I used was something bad for tablet, heh. Desktop is not close to laptop (in another room). So I really can't move that way. It's also a problem with images that I created/found in the internet to use as reference. Lots of problems. At least it's solved...
Software is mean! When I tried to install it I got error caused by lacking of some tables. What the heck?! It was related with creators' copyrights, version and such info. Bwh.
Other major problems are:

- I remember the time when tablet had to be off every 30 mins. I need to put off its cable in the USB and put back again.. Annoying, especially if you'll include the fact that my internet cable could abort every sec. I need to wait good two minutes (yeah, that's forever) to connect again. Like now, when I writed it: I accidentally touched it by foot (LOL!) on the floor; well, abort 'em! I don't want to do nothing, so get writing more. I forgot about this quickly. But, again, accidentally I closed the tab of DA! DAMN SH*T!!11 > exactly that I said. I feeled just lucky when released that internet is off so the page will not refresh, so everything is saved!

- Pressure problem comes usually after good time of working - no pressure anymore, wow.

- And the problem that comes really often now, is so-called 'stroke problem'. Do you know how it is to paint a brushstroke with dry brush? Like gradient - in the beginning it's good, contrast, but it's going light to the end. This effect is similar to my problem - I stroke a few of pixels and.. tablet is off. Temporary, though. I need remove my hand, and do it again. The pic I did this way will be added soon! *waiting for this effect*

That's enough to not choose Genius... BUT, if you have chance to get at least this one - let's get it! Anyway, it's better than nothing. I draw well with this one too.


Ohhh well, photos of Bamboo PT <3

Such cool place for pen - smart

It's called "Pen and Touch" because you can use fingers like on the touchpad.
