WACOM TABLET & PEN VS. TRADITIONAL MOUSE

JIM JORDAN PHOTOGRAPHER’S BEST FRIEND: THE WACOM TABLET

I have been recommending the Wacom tablet to a multitude of photographers to step up their retouching game. So, I wrote this article with the major differences between a mouse and a Wacom tablet using a pen.

For many creatives, the choice between using a Wacom tablet with a pen or a traditional mouse is a difficult one. Both have their advantages, but which is the best choice for your work?

A Wacom tablet with a pen offers a more natural, intuitive way of working. The pen is designed to feel like a traditional writing or drawing instrument, making it easy to create art that looks like it was created with traditional tools. The pen also allows for a greater degree of precision and control than a mouse can offer. The natural feel of the pen makes it easier to draw fine details and perfect curves with greater accuracy.

On the other hand, a traditional mouse offers a more familiar interface. It is easy to move the cursor around the screen and click on objects with a mouse. It is also a lot easier to select multiple objects at once and move them around with a mouse than it is with a pen.

At the end of the day, the choice between a Wacom tablet with a pen and a traditional mouse comes down to personal preference. If you prefer a more natural, intuitive way of working, then a Wacom tablet with a pen is the way to go- and my tool of choice is the Wacom Intuos Pro.
