| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Wacom Graphire4 6x8 Tablet
The tablet would not install in XP with the drivers shipped with the unit. Downloaded new drivers from their web site and it installed fine. Then the pen kept switching from pen mode to mouse mode every couple of minutes. Sent a message to Wacom support Friday afternoon and received a response Monday morning. Seems the tablet does not like being plugged into a USB hub and wants a direct USB connection. Since getting all that straight everything has worked just fine. | 4 | Today | Great item!
Great for any artist. Or even if you just do not want to use a mouse anymore and just use the pen to navigate around...The programmable buttons on the pen and tablet are a plus and the pressure sensitivity works great. | 5 | Today | Great tool
I often wondered if I could have gotten the smaller 4x5 tablet, but feel that this size fits perfectly and any smaller and I would not be able to cover the entire screen. It works incredibly well with my Photoshop and Illustrator programs. Provided that you have a steady hand, this becomes an incredible tool and makes everything so much easier to control. The pressure sensitivity is really great and I can't tell much of a difference between this and it's more costly relatives in the Wacom Tablet family. I'm not a total fan of the mouse, so I don't use that nearly as much.
As a beginning student considering a career in art, the performance of the pen is more than adequate for those interested in drawing and sketching digitally. Removable clear cover makes tracing easier than ever.
Really great package deal. Everything I expected and more. | 5 | Today | Awesomeness!
I absolutely love this product! It works great, and I've had incredible ease mastering it. Totally a plus for anyone looking to buy (as opposed to the smaller version. Go for large!) woot! | 5 | Today | What happened???
I paid extra to have this delivered overnight! I needed it days ago--I cannot wait until Oct 1! What happened?? | 1 | Today | Art and Teaching Tool and Linux Friendly
I bought this originally to work with photographs. It seems to do that quite well, but I have to admit that I'm finding a lot of other uses instead. It's a great tool for teaching: I can have a "smartboard" in my room without trying to talk my administrators into buying an expensive piece of equipment. I can keep a copy of my own notes for students who are absent, and I can include diagrams and anything else I would do on a chalkboard or smartboard.
For teaching, I do wish I'd bought the bluetooth version, but I still get some flexibility to move around. The mouse is nice for certain work, but I can still use my regular wireless mouse when I want to roam the room. They interfere with each other when used at the same time, but I can't see why I would want to do that.
For art and photographic work, it's ideal, even without bluetooth. If I needed the range of bluetooth, I wouldn't be able to see that I was doing! I'm using it mostly with the GIMP. I haven't figured out how to use pressure yet, but I'm having great success picking out details and tracing objects.
I want to try doing some actual art with it. I used to do a lot of pencil sketching and I'm looking at doing that again. The GIMP may not be the best platform for that, but this tablet is. The surface area is the perfect size. I don't feel cramped at all. I think a larger area would actually be a handicap.
As a final note, I have used this with OS-X and with Linux. Others have commented well on what is available with Windows and OS-X. I want to discuss Linux.
I'm using it with the Edubuntu flavor of Linux. Compatibility varies in the other flavors. It works great as a mouse and with the GIMP. There is also a great piece of software called Xournal that lets me write notes as though it were a smartboard.
What I'd like to see is more tablet software in Linux. For example, I love Window's Evernote software. Nothing equivalent exists in Linux. Handwriting recognition software exists for Linux, but it's basic and not easily installed. The situation is changing and I expect that, in a year or two, this last paragraph of my review may be obsolete.
Update 8-24-07: I've just completed one week of teaching with this product. What a great alternative to the far more expensive smartboard! I have also solved the pressure problem (I'm not observant was the whole problem).
I've also successfully installed it on the Fedora flavor of Linux. It was a minor battle, but won in about 15 minutes. | 5 | Today | Way totally cool awesome
I love this product. My 'art' is only a hobby -- at the moment -- but I'm so very glad I bought this product. Doing anything in GIMP or Photoshop was a major pain the butt with just a mouse.
This tablet is not only very, very cool, but it's so much fun, too! | 5 | Today | :)
I love this tablet! It works really well and has helped me to improve my art. It's easy to use and it didn't take long to get used to using it. Great for art students! :) | 5 | Today | I'm not an artist, but I love this thing!
This is a wonder of technology. Its amazing how well it works and its amazing that I've never used one before now. I am not in the business of art and all my drawing is on a hobby basis. I have friends who are artists and they were the ones that turned me on to Wacom. I thought it was very cool, but never saw a need for one until recently.
The reason I bought this product was to take digital notes for college classes.
Recently, I bought a laptop to aid me through graduate school. I am a fan of touch-screen technology (Nintendo DS, Tablet PCs, MS Surface, and Jeff Hann's incredible "Minority Report" computer) and I am somewhat of an organization freak. Unfortunately, Picto chat isn't great for taking notes and Tablet PCs were way out of my price range; I wanted to take advantage of MS 2007 Office and its revamped One Note Microsoft OneNote 2007 software to keep my notes digitally organized. Enter the Wacom Graphire. I consider it the thrifty way to get the functionality of a tablet PC out of a budget laptop. It works great. I have to have a little desk space to set up my laptop and new Wacom pad, but having notes stored on a computer that I can print, email, search google style, and never lose is amazing. Save some paper and get super organized.
If you are into technology and a college student, take my advice and buy a Wacom immediately. For a reasonable cost, you will look back on this tool as one of the handiest, most liberating investments you ever made. This value and by making work with a computer 10 times more fluid and enjoyable I give the Wacom Graphire4 5 stars. | 5 | Today | decent product for the price
I'm still playing with this, but it'll take some getting used to if you never used a pad. Positioning the pen seems to be touchy and can ruin your work if not careful | 4 | Today |
