How to Assign Keyboard Shortcuts in Photoshop
February 3rd, 2010Mice Review 5: Not Real a Mouse
February 2nd, 2010As far as I am concerned, a Wacom tablet is mandatory for anyone who does image manipulation. The level of precision is unmatched, the ergonomics are dead on (you basically are holding a pen) and the programmability is sweetness. I use a Wacom Intuos3 6″ x 11″ which is perfect for my wide screen. The tablet itself is wired to a USB port, but the stylus is not. I have three styluses, because at any one time I can only ever find one of them.

Mice Review 4: Viva la Revolution
January 31st, 2010Every once in a while, a new computer bit comes along…something you maybe weren’t expecting, and it makes your computing life so much easier that that going back is painful and frustrating. The Logitech MX Revolution is like that.

Mice Review 2: Trackball
January 26th, 2010I’ve had a trackball even longer than I’ve had a tablet. My first one was a gigantic thing with a ball the size of a billiard ball (in fact I used an 8-ball as the main ball in it for years). They actually still sell it too
I’ve had a one in one form or another since then, as I love them for FPS gaming…the old version of the marble was such that you could fling the marble really fast…too fast for the driver to handle. So it would interpret a huge fling forward as a quick back step, then a run forward…or a step left, then quick right. Killer Now I just use it for aiming. Awesome in Bioshock. But I digress.
More after the jump.
