Claudio60 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hi all, I'm going to buy my first pen tablet for Aphoto that I'll be using only for photo retouching (not drawing); I already googled a lot but it's not clear to me if pen tilt support will be useful or not. Any suggestions to help me are welcome. Tks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio60 Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi firstdefence and thank you for your answer, I knew already what pen tilt is, but I don't understand if it is needed/useful for a better work (hair retouching, healing, masking, etc.) or not; now while after reading the article you linked me I know that in some cases (designer) tilt pen could be a disadvantage, at the same time I didn't learn anything new regarding tilt pen advantages in photo editing to remove my doubts/hesitation.

firstdefence Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I doubt it would be a disadvantage to have a tablet with tilt capabilities and in the workflows you mention you would likely be holding the brush in such a way as to not trigger the tilt functionality. I would rather have a tablet with tilt, rather than have one without.

Claudio60 Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 What do you think regarding the size, better small or medium? Looking at the space available on my desk I would say better a small one but maybe I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
