An artist said he uses this to project phots for copy to a canvas--tracing the outlines etc. Has anyone used it this way? Resolution of image etc good

I would guess that this could be achieved, the image is certainly good and extremely clear. another nice feature is being able to control the resolution in quite a wide range.

I'd like to know the same kind of thing: how close/far away does this or a more appropriate model have to be to fill as small as 12x18" up to a maximum 18"x27" area from a 6000px X 9000px digital image? I'd like to keep the zoom/macro to optimum sharpness setting. TIA, GEB

try zooming in closer when trying fine detail. Make resolution of file you are making at least 300/dpi. Its a work around, but for $500 it would be a steal. I think its overpriced at USD 599. But couldn't ever afford ( justify to self ) Cintique, even the cheapie.

Yes I did. In the end I bought the v700. Its a great machine for microfiche or any transparent film for that manner. Its easy to make scans that are so high res that they are physically bigger than Photoshop can open. At the time I don't think I could find anything better without spending a few thousand more. Its been 3 years since we got it so they probably have a new model, but this one is perfect for our fine-art reproduction needs.If you have more questions shoot us an email to sales at HistoricMapWorks dot comVisit the website in the link if you want to see some scans of maps that were previously on microfiche.Best Yes I did.

I haven't used it for photos or art. I'm sure it can scan photos and art fine, but I'm not sure about the quality.It works amazing for documents, which is what I use it for. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I had the same problem. The resolution had issues and when projecting, it made it difficult to use in my classroom. :(

It would project it THROUGH the window unless you put some paper on the opposite side to the one you are painting. But that's a fairly easy fix, I'd think. Another alternative that I personally would find to be awesome is to get the glass sandblasted. The frosted glass would take the outline projection perfectly, and you could use that as an element in your work by leaving some of the frosted portions unpainted. It would also make it much less likely that the paint would peel later. I could understand why that wouldn't be practical for a lot of the projects you might try but sounds kinda cool right? Edit: I see Pam there beat me to the paper idea. So I'll see you paper and raise you 3020 Liquid Masking Film 32 oz here on Amazon. Paint it on the opposite side, project, trace... and then when you don't need it anymore, peel it off like cling film.

I would suggest buying a tabletop easel that is made specifically for that purpose (For Example: B004XMOT08). Thank you.

I just bought this light box and used it to get the proportions of a sketch I am doing. I was able to trace the lines from the picture onto Stonehenge Multi paper (cream colored paper). The Stonehenge is excellent drawing paper and is 100% cotton 250 gsm. It works wonderfully. I have not tried darker paper yet but it does the job and much more inexpensive than some of the others I have been looking at.

I have only used it to transfer photos on to canvas and I was really pleased with how well it worked.

Unfortunately no. Though the light is very bright, I tested this with a sheet of Arches 300lb cold press and a xerox photo and found it easier to simply draw by hand rather than use the tracing light. There is faint line detail in this, but not anything where you can clearly see like you would with less heavy paper. A side not on this, in order to conduct this test, I moved the light box on top of my drawing table in order to best represent the light, rather than mounted below the glass surface, and it was still not very clear.

I've done that for pictures and it worked fine with Paint Shop Photo Pro program that I use. I haven't tried it on text or with my publisher though I have used a 0.2 border with these programs. On the photo prints I didn't have an issue, but the program has an option for edge less print.

You can use the cintiq as your primary monitor (well primary in the sense that its the one you will be drawing on) then use your normal monitor to view reference photos. I do it all the time :)

It's not bright enough Small details just don't show through. It works great with regular tracing and of course transparent paper :)

I can say yes for highlights and smaller details, but I don't know on the graphite drawings (I use it for coloring with copic, and craft projects)

Can't say fr personal experience but what I use it for os similar and should do great. Very wide range of line size from pencil line to large shading.

I used it to print a shirt with a stencil and a sponge and it bled thru. I've had trouble getting it a uniform color without using a screen. Hope this helped

Normally it is best to scan an image onto your computer, then use an application such as Photoshop, Painter, or SketchBook to digitally trace on a separate layer. While tracing an image on the tablet can be done, some setup is required as there needs to be adjustment for aspect ratio, and document size.
