a web designer's tool
 

I remember a tool I thought of buying, I bet most pro photoshop guys have it:
it is a screen (functions as your computer screen) that comes with a pen, and you can draw with the pen on screen.

it was about $2000.

who knows what i'm talking about?

Wacom Tablet - EDIT: Found it http://www.wacom.com/lcdtablets/index.cfm

wow, that was fast and accurate. :thumbsup

anyone here has it? how is it? how close is it to drawing on paper?

I've used the pad on a desk but it doesn't have a screen built in... they're pressure sensitive, it's great.

that's some cool stuff, even though I don't do designs i could use one of those, heh

anyone else?

yeah I know what you are talking about ... its a good tool :)

$2000 :| my local store was selling a similar product for $100 hehe i';ll buy one next time they are selling it and test it out

I bought the one without 'internal' screen and sold it a few days later. My hand-eye cordination isn't good enough to draw on table and watch the screen where it actually shows.. I need to buy the one where I can actually see what I draw, where I draw it.

what is the name of this similar product ?

one of my Designer uses it daily, a must have for Photo edits :thumbsup

:smokin

what is the name of that product ?

ok cool lets let this drop then

I got mine for like 150$ and it works like a charm !

EDIT : You can't use it on a dual screen. You can only control one screen at a time!

Our illustrators and 3D CGI guys use waccom's

I use wacom's. It was weird first time I tried the pens years ago. You just need to get used to them (sort of like using a mouse then a trackball).

You won't go back to a pen and paper after using one , that's for sure
You can get one as low as $100 now :D

nice gadget...
