Wacom drawing tablets and Affinity Photo

[astronut80920]

I am thinking about buying a Wacom tablet to edit my landscape photos.  I'd like to know if they are compatible with Infinity photo.  Thanks in advance.

Hi Jim,

I use the Intuos 4 and it works perfect! But I don't know about the newer ones.

I’d like to see other’s perspective on this. Would your rather use wacom on desktop or just an iPad. What are the preference for people that used both?

I use an older Wacom CTH-470 on the Mac and it works alright so far. - Related to an iPad + Pencil, usually I would say it's an advantage to draw directly on the screen instead of a seperate screenless device. Though the Affinity desktop versions do still offer more capabilities than the iPad versions so far. Also the lack of a real file system there (on the iPad) and fiddling around with cloud storage save/restore isn't everybodys bliss, so it always also depends on personal/individual preferences. However the drawing experience itself with a pencil is quite good on iPads when compared to a plain screenless tablet.

Hi v_kyr. 

I thought so too. Before i used wacom, i used an iPad to make my illustration. And me personally prefer iPad over wacom.l, but wasnt sure if its just me. Though i think The file management issue could be solved if they can make the continuity work. Right now when i use affinity file on one device. I see it pop up on my other device in continuity style, but when i click, it merely opens the app and thats all.
