My first pen tablet, and it appears to function properly; however, obtaining the necessary drivers and software packages was a complete nightmare. The link to download drivers didn't work, phone support said to call back tomorrow, chat support gave me two links, neither of which worked, and finally emailed me a different link that allowed me to download the drivers. br>br>Even worse was the free software, which in my case included a Corel paint and photo program. To begin, you'll need to create an account, which will necessitate registering the device, which will prompt you for the device number, which will be found, and then prompt you with a cryptic error message. Returning to chat (which is very nice and probably underpaid), they advised me to enter the product serial number rather than the product number. Why not ask for it in the first place if that's what's required? Of course, they send you an email to verify your address, and you click the link to create an account - However, the software is still missing. br>br>In order to obtain the software, you must first select the packages; however, there is no 'Download' button. It turns out that you must double-click the'select' button, which will send you an email with a link, which you must click, and then the 'Select' button will be replaced by a 'Download' button. This must be done separately for each package. br>br>I hope this information is helpful to others. PS - I'm using Windows 10 64-bit with Chrome as my browser.
I wanted a smaller, more portable board, but I was concerned that the smallest size would hurt my hand (based on reviews), so I went with the medium size, which is roughly the size of an 8 x 11 sheet of paper. I'm so glad I did because this size is ideal for the way I use the board - to deal with photographs br>br>However, if you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is the place to be I understand why some reviewers are having difficulties. Return to what we learned in drawing class for the best advice I can give: If you need more traction for control, tape a piece of paper to the top of the Wacom and draw on that instead of the (slippery) board. When working with photos, start with the highest res image you can because low res images are very pixelated and can make working with close up details difficult. br>br>Enjoy! And it comes with a strong recommendation.
To cut a long story short, I have no idea how I was editing with a mouse alone in Lightroom and Photoshop. br>Though this is the "entry level," or cheapest, Wacom tablet on the market, it gets the job done. I love how small it is and how portable it is if you only plan on using it for a few hours per day. The only reason I'd go with the PRO (ASIN B00EN27ULS) is for the additional function buttons, which come in handy if you want to use the tablet instead of the keyboard (and keyboard shortcuts). Also, despite being the cheapest option, it is extremely sensitive and well constructed.

It's as if I'm holding an empty mechanical pencil in my hand.
I received this as a gift and was eager to use it. The company, on the other hand, appears to be unconcerned about customer service, as the website has been crashing for the past two days. It gave me the runaround about registering the product once I got on it, telling me that the automatic recognition feature wasn't working and that I needed to manually register and activate it. I had to decipher the product information printed on the back of a black case in order to do so. The information should be printed in dark grey ink, according to some graphic "genius"! In addition, the font was 6 points in size. I was told that this product needed to use the automatic recognition feature after I figured out the correct information and reconnected to the website. Why would you purchase a product that is intended to irritate you?.
Despite all of the reviews that said "I thought I'd be fine because I don't press hard, but then I used the tablet and my nibs worn down really fast," I figured "how bad could it be?" and that I'd be fine because I don't press hard. After changing my pen sensitivity to the softest possible setting and avoiding pressing too hard for a day, there are plastic bits hanging off of my nib in the same way that wood would if you sanded it down with course sandpaper. I'm not happy with it, but I can live with it because I have a lot of extra nibs and plan on making DIY nibs after that; however, if you don't want to DIY, this tablet may not be for you. br>br>Also, I had my pen sensitivity set to the middle on my previous tablets, but I had to slide it all the way down soft on this one to get the same feel. Maybe it's because the tablet has so much friction that my hand doesn't want to press down.
a new assessment: On sai, this tablet is a pain. I wish I had known that before I squandered a hundred dollars - I will never purchase another Wacom tablet. br>br>original review: This tablet has been in my possession for two months. Having a wireless tablet is extremely convenient for me. It allows me to move around freely, which my wired one did not. It does, however, have a few minor flaws. My tablet's Bluetooth occasionally fails to connect. When this happens, the pen pressure will occasionally fail. 25 of the time I turn off the tablet I turn the tablet I turn the tablet I turn It's helpful to turn it back on. 25 of the time i spend closing my art program i spend i spend i spend i spend i spend% It is beneficial to reopen it. I have to restart my entire system half of the time. br>br>Also, the drawing surface on the tablet was already scratched from the pen nib within the first hour of receiving it XD it doesn't bother me, I just wanted to let people know.
