Review: Outstanding tablet for non-professionals - I bought this tablet for my Graphics Design class in college. We have some Wacom Intuos 4 in the graphics lab, I really enjoyed using it for Illustrator and InDesign assignments, so I wanted one for my own use. This is definitely not an Intuos, but it is really good. Since I only have used Intuos for about three weeks before buying the Capture, there aren't any feature that I miss (except the smaller size, but more on that later). Some reviewers mentioned lack of eraser as a big deal, maybe because I never used it on Intuos, I don't miss it at all. Erasers are only a shortcut key away anyways. Maybe for a full time designer that spend 10+ hours with their tablets, an eraser a big deal, but for casual users it's totally fine. Tablet size is enough for casual/non-professional use. Be aware that not all of the gray surface in the pictures is usable, about 75% of the total area. It is clearly marked by lines on the edges of the working rectangle. Speaking about the size of tablet, the screen size should also be taken into consideration. I use the Capture on my 16" laptop, and I feel that's a good combination. We have 27" iMacs in the graphics lab, so using Intuos 4 would make more sense on those huge screens. I'm sure even with smaller screens, bigger tablets = more precision = better results, but once again, for beginners, Capture's area is big enough. This tablet allows me to make some decent drawings on Illustrator. Using a tablet doesn't enhance your drawing skills, but it is definitely much better than drawing with a mouse. There's a learning curve to it, but it's not impossibly difficult. I read a lot of Wacom users complain about the nib wear on the latest generation of Wacom tablets. I haven't used it long enough to comment on nib wear, but it doesn't seem to be used at all after two weeks of use. Perhaps I just don't use it as much as those hard-core design enthusiasts. I like having the 'paper-like feel' drawing surface, but personally I don't like that feel when I'm using it for InDesign layout purposes. I'd rather have more 'glide' on the surface. So I bought a clear plastic folder, cut a tablet-sized piece and taped it over my Capture. It glides around easier (and perhaps saves the nib from wearing out too quickly). The folder only cost me 50 cents. Also, if I need to have that paper-like feel for precision drawing, I'll just remove the plastic cover and re-tape it afterwards. If you want to do so, use a low-tack tape to prevent tape residue build up on the tablet surface. For me, the biggest advantage of using a tablet is less fatigue on your wrists. When you're clicking and dragging a lot, such as when you're doing page layout in InDesign, using a tablet will be much easier on your wrists, and also much more precise. The multi-touch feature is a nice addition to the tablet; sometimes I use it for browsing. I still need to practice the multi-touch gestures, such as flick and scroll up/down, but so far I found the scroll and zoom feature really helpful when I browse. I didn't buy the tablet to use it as a full time track pad, but for me it is an useful extra feature. Overall, I'd highly recommend this tablet if you're a beginner / early enthusiast of digital graphics design. Or if you're looking for a giant trackpad. If you are a serious enthusiast, perhaps you'd like to consider Bamboo Create (a bigger version of Capture) or Intuos. Review: Great tablet for drawing and taking Notes - If your thinking about using a tablet for school, go for it! I was on the bridge, I didn't want to buy an essentially expensive toy that I wouldn't use for school. The tablet writes extremely well and responsive. The touchpad is sluggish compared to my Macbook pro's touchpad, but it still works for scrolling through documents. Another reviewer said it feels like writing on thick construction paper with a think lead pencil, that hits it spot on. Overall, the tablet works too well for me to knock of a star for the sluggish touch pad. Couple tips: - Screenshot plus photoshop helps you start writing on whatever you see on your screen almost instantly, doesn't seem like a lot but I was wasting a lot of time in the beginning trying to figure this out. I've got a MAC so I press CMD+4 and highlight the area I want. Cmd+Tab over to Photoshop, CMD+O to open that screenshot(if you get your settings, it'll be the first on at the top.) I was screenshotting a lot of examples from various homework, and this was insanely useful. - Skim for Mac is a great app that lets you write on PDFs.(it took me a looong time to finally find this and its free) Still looking for a smooth pdf editor that would essentially let me draw on PDFs like photoshop or some iPad apps. It's pretty frustrating that I can only write in red pencil at a specific thickness thats unchangeable. Its mind boggling for me that NUMEROUS iPad and android applications have full fledge apps that can fully edit PDFs like I'm saying, but I can't find a single program that will do this. Even Adobe Acrobat only lets you write in that same red pencil. If you know of such an program from MAC OSX, please comment, I've spend hours trying to look for a good one. ## Features - Edit digital photos, paint and draw with the natural feel of a pen on paper. - Free downloadable creative software included: Photoshop Elements, AutoDesk Sketchbook Express and Nik Color Filters.
