Friend or Foe

Posted by Melissa W. (Warsaw, Indiana, United States) on 7 February 2008 in Miscellaneous.

So I broke down and bought a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet. I love to retouch, but was getting frustrated with using my mouse so I thought I'd give this a try. Using the tablet is so different than what I'm used to; hopefully, it won't take me too long to get used to it.

Interesting shot, the colours are subtle with nice dof. Just a hint, a title and description can be just as important as the pic.

@Graham Russon: Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos and for leaving comments. Your comments are very much appreciated. I'm horrible at finding the right words to describe my photos. And when it comes to titling a photo, my mind just goes blank. However, per your suggestion, I will work harder at it.

BTW, your photos are amazing and very inspiring. Brilliant work.

Beautyful and original shot; I like the subtle colours and the DOF. Great lighting too

Thank you for your comments, everyone. I'm horrible with titles and descriptions; I just blank out and don't know what to write. I'll have to work on it. :)

This could be used for a stock photo image for the product. Angle, light and DOF are perfect. Appealing image. I had thought to get something like this at one time. Wondering how well the Wacom works.

@Barbara: Thank you very much, Barbara. I'm finding the more I use the tablet, the more I'm liking it. The only difficulties I'm having with it in Photoshop are when I'm using the clone stamp or the healing brush, and I think that's just because I'm not pressing down hard enough on the tablet to get the results that I'm used to. Other than that, I'm really starting to like it. My only regret is that I bought the small tablet instead of the medium. However, if I ever have a laptop, the small tablet will be perfect to travel. Thanks again, Barbara!

Thank you for the insight on the product. Have fun with it.
