Beautiful.Īnd for the final blow, you call the author a he even though Laura is a female name in every culture I know. I think that in that sense, you couldn't get a better review: even the defensive aiptek fanboi (how embarrassing is it to be /that guy/) is admitting his product is inferior to a product that costs exactly the same ammount of money. its a value buyers guide -> The aiptek and the wacom cost EXACTLY the same price -> The review shows that you can have a "technically superior" tablet (your words AND what the review implies) instead of a pile of dog excrement. "I dont think anyone thinks an aiptek is technically superior to a wacom just like a duron compared to a p4ee but for a value buyers guide I expect a lot better discussion!" The fewer the keyboard shortcuts and on screen buttons I need to press, the more productive I'll be in any application.Īnd for the clencher of your retardation, may I submit this for your approval: And even simpler than hitting E is flipping over your pen and using it like an pencil eraser (which the aiptek cannot do). I don't understand how anyone who's ever touched photoshop would not understand that "multiple trips to the history menu" means going to the little bar that says history and undoing things. Even you admit to not using the tablets supplied mouse. Obviously the tests done on these tablets were to test the functionality of the pen, and the reason for talking about the mice included with the tablets was to indicate that they could or do not do exactly the same thing as a normal ps/2 mouse (to which the answer is an astounding 'no' for the aiptek 8000u tablet). It also seems that the only time the author mentions using a mouse to do any photoshop work is when the Aiptek 8000 tablet fails to be able to do the simple task of cutting and pasting a couple images. I think the images make it easier to really grok what that means. I also think using a fixed sized image for tracing gives a very good indication of how different sized tablets map to real world mechanics: moving a short distance on a small tablet covers the same area as moving a long distance on a large one. From the test, any one can see that the wacom draws draws lines on the screen that are more acurate to the lines drawn on the pad. you might have read the article before making yourself look like an ass.įirst off, the trace test wasn't about DPI, it was about acuracy. bobolicious - Tuesday, Decemlink #15/16.I dont care what she is why is why are photoshop newbs doing anandtech tablet reviews? >And for the final blow, you call the author a he even though Laura is a female name >The aiptek and the wacom cost EXACTLY the same price you switch to every other tool using keyboard in photoshop. you just lost your cursor position and it is slower. >And even simpler than hitting E is flipping over your pen Why is a photoshop newbie reviewing a graphics tablet? Does my grandma test drive race cars? My point was, any normal person would use alt-z, and probably not even have palettes on especially for this operation. >would not understand that "multiple trips to the >history menu" means going to the little bar that >says history and undoing things. it seems she 'only' tries the mouse before giving up? wtf?
Nope, read it, especially for the aiptek. >It also seems that the only time the author >mentions using a mouse to do any photoshop work is
look at the friggin test images! they are different sizes Use the extra room you are given on the larger tablets.
