Well all my favourite Wacom products are now in at Team Digital. If you are into any serious editing you need a Wacom Tablet, don’t try to kid yourself you can do it with a mouse.
I am getting one of the new Cintiq 24HD screens from Wacom to trial over the Christmas break. I think it is going to add a whole new level of precision to my editing and illustrations. Can’t wait to see what it can do. Ben has profiled it so that is possible to do but I will have my Eizo monitor next to it anyway for the best colour management. Will let you know my thoughts once I have the beast at home.
Don’t forget the Bamboo Stylus too. I got mine a couple of weeks back and the precision with drawing on the ipad is something you have to try for yourself. It adds a whole new level of fun with drawing. I chose the pink pen just in case Tommy Putt was interested in one!
Lastly how about this new Inkling device. You draw on a bit of paper with the device clipped to the top and it records your bush strokes as a vector graphic which you can then upload to photoshop or illustrator and edit even more. So for those who really need the pen on paper feel this is the ultimate.
All I can say is, thank you WACOM, you are WAYCOOL.
Ask Benny at Team Digital for a play with some of this gear before I buy it all.

The Cintiq wil revolutionize your image processing, mate! If I could afford one of those, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
we will see how it goes Steve, I’m pretty excited about it.
Hi Christian,
What size “Intuos” would you recomend for normal lightroom and CS5 post processing?
Been getting pretty frustrated with the clunky mouse curser jumping all over the place and think these will have greater precision.

Hi Garry, you can’t go past a 5×7 or an 8×10 size. Don’t go to big it is a waste. I personally use a small size and find it perfect.
