Which wacom bamboo product is best for photographers?
928157
Well any Wacom Tablet can be used, and so can a few non Wacom tablets as well. If you want value the Wacom Bamboo Splash CTL471 is a good fit, however it lacks any customization buttons besides the two pen buttons. the CTL471 will run you around $80 but I got mine for $64.24 here on amazon. Now the next model up, the Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen and Tablet CTH470 will run you about $100 ($83.24 here on amazon at the moment) and it comes with 4 programmable buttons which can help you in the long run. It is also marketed more towards photo editing and comes with Photoshop Elements (its a older version, but Photoshop Elements 11 is $100 by itself so you're getting a deal.) So I would go with the Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen and Tablet CTH470 for the most value and to start you off for what you want to do. I bought the Splash because I want to use it mostly for drawing. Still, any Wacom Product is idea for photographers in my opinion.

If I were primarily interested in editing, marking up, adding creative after-touches to photos I would go with the Bamboo Capture based on its capabilities and the software bundled with it. I have the create because I wanted it more for drawing and wanted some more advanced features.

Wacom Cintiq is out of Lenovo's league, from what I understand Wacom is created a creative companion, Lenovo is versatile but does not have the set up for all the creativity as Wacom.

I own an older Wacom, the Intuos 2. It's over a decade old but works wonderfully with Manga Studio 4 EX.

Yes when i got it the packaging said it was compatible with all the intous tablets and the cintiq. Im not sure about the bamboo tablets or the new companions. check out the wacom sites support section if you have any more specific questions im sure they can answer any questions you have

Yes it is, i found it to work very well in many types of editing software as well, like Photoshop,Manga Studio,Blender,Zbrush,Sculptris,Daz Studio 3d,Gimp, etc....and yes i have all of these lol. Some is limited to the tablet but over all...GREAT!! Plus many hot keys and buttons vs the Wacom

I dont know for sure, but it's definitely not the same design as the pen featured in the Bamboo Create tablet model. Look for a pen that has the same visual appearance as in the photo on the wacom website for the Create tablet.

While I'm mostly using the Bamboo to work with Photoshop CC 2014, I've used it some with Illustrator CC 2014 and found it to be very capable and usable. As I mentioned in my review, it's not the most feature-heavy tab you'll find. But, it definitely does the trick for me. Especially if you're just getting started with a graphic pen/tablet, this is a great way to get your feet wet.

Of course Tana. It works fine and smooth with all graphics software. I've used it with Photoshop, Illustrator, Gimp, and even Paintool SAI. I even use it instead of my mouse. Check some of my works using this Wacom Bamboo tablet at http://angelascanio.deviantart.com

Yeah, I would say so, it's more focused on the digital art market. I'd suggest saving a few bucks and starting off with a Bamboo at first, learning the software as you go. It has a lot less pressure sensitivity and is perfect for just being able to manipulate the mouse like a pen. The Intuos has almost 2000 different pressure levels and high amounts of control making it ideal for people drawing and digital painting on their pc's.Hope this helps!

Absolutely wait if you can. Wacom is superb, but their price point, based on having been the only player in town is astronomical. Huion from China is really good, but it is not yet to the level of Wacom. There are others as well, but they are doing one thing. They are forcing Wacom to take a look at a more realistic price point. If prices aren't cut within the year to at most, 60% of the current price, Huion will have come out with their next generation. That one, I will bet is a match, at a minimum, to Wacom. Either way, wait a short while if yo can and get the better of the two.

Although it is a great tool, most schools with a Photography Dept. have a computer Lab with all the necessary equipment. I currently have a 12x18 Wacom 4. It is a great piece of gear, but does take up a lot of space on the desk. Before purchasing the tablet, try to find out what resources she has for doing her work currently. The Wacom tablet might be a better gift for graduation.In addition, the tablet is really just another version of a mouse...it operates with a 'pen' and has more sensitivity. To really do high end photo editing or more precisely photo manipulation, you need to have Adobe Photoshop installed. This program has all the filters and features to do just that.Good luck.

I just looked it up on Wacom's site. The p/n for gen 3 is ACK20610. I couldn't find it at Amazon.

The Bamboo Feel Stylus products are designed to work on Tablet PCs that have an active Wacom digitizer. Samsung Galaxy Note products, which include a pen, include this hardware and will work with the Bamboo Stylus Feel.

Hello, I use theme for my Wacom Intuos 5 and all work perfectly, much better than the genuine ugly one !

Best for photography would be the HD clear.However, all of them, with the exception of the anti-glare, would offer as close to true color and minimize distortion. For the stylus pen, all of them would work fine. Best impact resistance would be, hands down the ballistic glass. It's tempered glass, which I use on my phone, and have given demonstrations with using the pointy end of a key. Doesn't leave a scratch.

Photography has been a hobby of mine for 40+ years. I am not a photographer and I am not paid by anyone to write this. My display is 21inches, at a resolution of 1440 X900. I have owned my CTH480 after someone on YouTube giving a retouching seminar said that if you don't have one of those, you're missing out. He was using an Intuos Bamboo Small. I had been thinking about getting one for some time, so I took his advice and took the plunge. Man, had I been missing out! This thing works great! It completely replaced my mouse at my desktop computer's side. When you first use it, it will be like the first time you used a mouse, but within a day, you'll be flying. I specially enjoy using the pen to refine a selection's mask with magnification and a very small brush. The tablet's active working surface area is customizable for different applications. For Photoshop, I use the whole surface to get more precision. For email and word processing, I only use the bottom right quarter of the tablet's surface and that's more than enough. One drawback, though: this tablet doesn't erase. I use Photoshop's eraser when I need one. But that's a very minor thing; I don't erase that much. I hope this helps.
