Graphics Tablets

Hello Articulate Community,

I've been thinking about purchasing as graphics tablet (such as one of these) to use for my eLearning and graphics design work. I wanted to throw it out here and see if anyone has any recommendations or suggestions. 

I use Adobe Illustrator a lot for graphic design work, so I thought it might be a good investment. 

Thoughts???

    Hi guys,

    I'm really digging handwritten graphics :)

    So I just bought my very first bamboo tablet. It seems to work ok
    but some of my ppt pen tools are inactive - I can't erase anything
    or fill a shape with a specific color :(

    Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance,

    Marta

      I reinstalled wacom software and it works great :)

      Anyone knows how to fill drawn shapes with a color?

  • Some advice on selecting the right  graphic tablet for using Photoshop, Articulate, Powerpoint, InDesign would be fantastic.  I am thinking of  switching to a tablet instead of a mouse for ergonomic purpose.  I have never had one, so any input would be fantastic.

    I am leaning towards this one.  However I have no idea or experience.

    Thank you in advance for all your help.

     

  • This works well.  However sometimes I have  problems dragging moving objects with storyline which can easily done in word, ppt applications.  Or perhaps I have not learned this yet

    I used Illustrator and Photoshop with a XP-Pen deco 01 v2 art drawing tablet .

    For free hand drawing a pen tablet is important for a lot of people.

    I feel like drawing is so much easier, especially if you want to make some shapes with the pen tool.
