General

thank you for all the info, I've decided to get a capture
EDIT: I've bought it and I love it. I'm glad i didnt waste my money on the create since its just a hobby right now.

[quote=Zorqy]I guess the zooming in will make up for it and I can always upgrade depending on how serious I am about it. I've decided I'm going to get a capture if the softwares included fit my needs.

Edit: Could someone explain what the softwares included in the create and capture are for? Because I'm looking more for drawing/painting because I always did traditional art and not really into photo editing. Also, I could get a free software too like GIMP I guess.[/quote]

Basically Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 or 10, and some other useless crap that comes along for the price of bamboo.
(technically american art programs that cost in the the 90$ or less range)
You only get better free ones for intuos/cintiq prices.

Software that replicate traditional art such as Painter 12 costs about 250$ atm (cheaper if you buy through resellers).
Grabbing some cheaper Japanese software for drawing such as Paint Tool Sai/ OpenCanvas for around 70$ USD.
[b][If anyone mentions a portable version or free one, its just some hacked version they are fooling themselves with][/b]
The above have trial versions only, so you can spend your 30 days practicing them before going through self-denial like most of basil's artists and rip off the companies.

AutoDesk has some nice drawing programs such as sketchbook and even a beta 12 copic marker version if you ever find it (that's free for sure).
Same for corel, but those are still costly.

Some will recommend paint.net / gimp cus those are actually free and work somewhat well with pressure sensitivity.
and if u hate Photoshop elements, [b]grab the free CS2 version Adobe is offering (this one is legal)[/b]. Allows for folders - means its a win.

Overall, 'photo editing' is what the program photoshop and many others were intended for.
If you put the effort into learning brush techniques and other meticulous functions, you[b] can enable yourself to paint [/b]with any of these in the end.
its like learning how to master a new medium,[b] knowing painting/drawing only sets down partiality of the foundations for digital painting [/b].
if you don't have the time to spare to learn, don't bother going digital.

there are some cases where people complain about the hand-eye coordination adjustments, or never getting things done how they usually do with traditional.
[b]learning curve Oh-PEE[/b]
usually there'd be a nearby apple store that would have wacom tablets for display and interactions.

[quote=CoraKora]If you're worried about size, maybe you should go to a store that has a tablet out for display and see for yourself in person which size you want. personally, i don't think size really matter; you can always zoom in and out of the canvas to really worry about the tablet when you're drawing lol, but then that's my opinion.[/quote]

depends.
How often will you be using this tablet?
How much money do you have to spare?

[quote=Cinnamoe]Personally, I believe your preference should focus on the size you're willing to work on and how much you're willing to pay, as the previous few said they do have the same specs. I personally work with a size that's about the same as the Create. I've used my friend's old tablet before about the same size as the Splash, and it wasn't too bad to use, but I enjoy a bigger work space for comfort. Now if you're wondering about programs, there are many programs you can find online for drawing and other sorts of editing. I never really use the programs that came with my tablet.
I see that you're interested in Photoshop that the Create provides as well. If this somehow helps your decision, [url=http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html]Adobe has recently released their CS2 collection for free including serial numbers[/url], including Photoshop and other programs. [/quote]

Oh, the description given for the connect and capture were kinda misleading and I see what you mean now.
I'm leaning more toward the create for the size even thought its worth almost twice as much but am considering the capture because it has the same programs as the create. So, do you guys think the size is actually worth it or does it not matter while drawing that much?

@GingerFister:

LOLOL I just looked at my Quote list and didnt even look at the topic! My bad. Neither high or drunk, just stupid
It was @Rationale who corrected me, LOL

[quote=ayashiboi]I thought it was free as well! But it was corrected recently by @GingerFister and he said it was a mistake. A quick google shows that it was indeed a mistake :<
Photoshop CS2 is not free, they just stopped their licensing thingy, and the 'free' serial number they provide is only if you have bought CS2 already with your own license.[/quote]
Oh phooey. That's what I get for not trying out the download and stuff haha. But thanks for the clarification!
OT: Back to programs then, if you're looking for art/drawing related programs for your soon-to-be-yours-tablet, then I suggest Paint Tool SAI or FireApalca. I never really enjoyed drawing on Photoshop anyways.

Yeah, they're all basically the same just like what Doutei said. And there is also the programs that adds to the price. For me I'll just be happy with the connet and get photoshop and sai else where, or just stick with SketchBook, cuz that's a pretty good program anyways. The Photoshop that comes with Create is not really for drawing but for photo editing. It's a Element not a CS.

sorry, I should have said drawing tablet, thought people would figure out that's what I meant since i was talking about bamboo tablet.

...wrong type of tablet... The TS wants a [url=http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/c26-B005HGBEZ2-1-l.jpg]drawing tablet...[/url]

[quote=Zlyphor]iPad beats everything everyday. Get nothing else than an iPad.[/quote]

not that kind of tablet

[quote=Zlyphor]iPad beats everything everyday. Get nothing else than an iPad.[/quote]
...Why would a freaking iPad be better than a Wacom? I tried drawing on my friend's iPad, and I have to say that I felt much more at home with my drawing tabl -

OH. OHHHHH. I see. Wrong type of tablet. He's talking about [url=http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/c26-B005HGBEZ2-1-l.jpg]these kinds of tablets,[/url] not a touchscreen tablet.

OT: I personally have a capture, and it's fine for drawing. What's the difference between it and a create, anyways? I should go try my friend's create sometime.

^ ignore the idiot comment.

all bamboo technical specs are the same.

only difference are:
-size of the tablet + size of drawing space
-touch functions
-pricing

iPad beats everything everyday. Get nothing else than an iPad.
