Here with the Cintiq I can do calibration whenever I want ( to follow my position ). And when this happen taking an hour to make the math to get the good ratio of the tablet proportionnaly used is really not the good moment. If you happen to travel, and connect to a video projector 1024x768 you risk to get surprise during the presentation with a 16:9 tablet. If you have a single tablet on a single screen and keep the same setup, that's fine. For example if you setup all on a laptop, it will take you a little hour ( the time to read doc to do attempts ). You can find about it on my old article here ( wacom chapter ). I'll post photos : Hey :) Making Xsetwacom script for a tablet is not really complicated I used this during years. So, I get used to buy the thinner stylus or tweak myself the plastic shell of the stylus to make them two time thinner. With default Wacom stylus they are so large that my natural grip position is ruined. I'll do :) In a nutshell I have a specific grip when drawing with a pencil. Oh, sure for your suggestion I should expand/update the article about stylus. I should really report this thing to Gnome dev about cats sitting on PrintScreen :D damn hackers cats ! also yes I was a bit bitter with Unity 'cons'. It was hard for me to find a good 1920x1200 screen 16:10 the 16:9 are everywhere Basque´ : Haaa. For dual screen, yes, keeping the same height for both is really an additional comfort. Thank you for all this information you've already provided!Ģ2 february 2014, 11:02 McCoy : Hey Brett, :) Thanks for the comment. Would you say that your monitor has been a good choice? I intend to replace my current monitor as soon as I can afford to, and I don't really know as much as I'd like about what to look for. I have a feeling that I'm going to get very picky about my choice of desktop environment when I switch, so it'd be good to have more options to work with :) With regards to the ones where tablet support requires script/command line work, is that especially complicated? I'm really happy with using Krita built according to your tutorial for cats, so now I don't mind if something doesn't have a graphical interface as long as it's easy to understand. I hadn't thought much about tablet support in the different desktop environments, so I'm really glad you discuss this. This is a well timed post for me, as I've just been thinking quite hard about switching distros - I'd have stopped using vanilla Ubuntu some time ago if it weren't for the fact that I love the colour orange in the interface. Note : I use a Wacom Bamboo Fun A5 tablet when I'm travelling with it Processor : Intel® Core™ i7 CPU 870, 2.93GHz × 8 It allow me to display subtle printed colors, such as richer greens or oranges. I have a professional monitor able to display a wide range of color an Asus ProArt. The Cintiq is mounted on a Ergotron LX arm, I can still move the Cintiq to directly digital paint on it. But I prefer to use my Intuos 4 Medium, and use the Cintiq as a secondary screen. One of the screen on left, is a Wacom Cintiq 21ux tablet. I use a single computer with two screen connected to it. My favorites : ArchLinux, Manjaro, Fedora, OpenSuse, Antergos and the one I'm using right now Ubuntu Gnome. I use Blender to create rough 3D models to paint later on it. ★ Blender : full multimedia studio, with a focus on 3D Mypaint is a lightweight digital painting software. Krita is my main tool and I use it to paint my artworks ★ Krita : professional digital painting software I also use it to add text and label to images. I use GIMP for many manipulations on colors, or specific image file format. I'm still in control about the license of my own production, and I can commercialise it, or use copyright on it without any issue. Working with open-source tools doesn't mean having to produce only free and open-source artworks. This technical choice doesn't affect compatibility with my clients : I still provide industry standards and I can save or open any regular files. Constraining my tool to 100% open-source is a choice I made. Since 2009, I produce my artworks using only Free/Libre Open-Source Software ( FLOSS ). Update: This article is a bit old and reflect what I used in 2014, not now.
