Wacom Bamboo Craft Pen & Touch

CTH461S_2

Isn’t it beautiful?

Yesterday, Wacom put out a press release about a new product, the Multi-Touch Bamboo Craft. I just finished looking at the video with all the new features and I am blown away. I have used Wacom’s tablets for years and love the versatility of using a tablet and pen. I love it even more now because it is so much easier to edit my photos with a pen. Granted I have used a mouse for a while, but not with my laptop. I either use my tablet or touchpad on the laptop. So, seeing that I can basically do the same thing with the new tablet has me thrilled to pieces. I can not wait to try this sucker out! Now, I don’t scrapbook as much as I used to, but I still do a lot of hybrid digital work. In fact, I am working on some girlfriend gift concepts for a dear friend and outside of Photoshop, the tablet is my main tool for concept development. I am picky about my technology gadgets, so it is a really big deal when I find something that thrills me.

Here is what the site says about the new tablet:

Digital scrapbookers, memory makers, and crafters: Bamboo Craft is the perfect tool for unleashing your creativity! Get hands-on with your projects using both pen and Multi-Touch input for your computer. Multi-Touch enables you to navigate and work with your creative assets quickly and easily. The pressure-sensitive pen lets you create your own art, edit photos, add embellishments, and provide a personal touch with your natural handwriting and doodles.

admin - For drawing with the tablet, I like to use Illustrator and the pencil tool. I have found that to be a lot easier for me to use than anything else. You can also do some drawing in Photoshop and there are other programs out there, like Artrage you can use. Make sure your pen is configured to work as is most comfortable to you. It takes some getting used to, but a little practice makes it well worth it.
