Wacom mobile studio pro review II “behind the closed DOORs December 13 2016”

In todays episode we take a more in depth look at the Wacom Mobile studio pro 16.

I show you how it performs with my workflow for retouching, some cool additions to Windows I found that makes the experience a bit better for “mac users”, a new awesome keyboard and how the stylus works in Manga studio.

I also walk you through the whole calibration process of the device and give you a tip on how to get two different setting for mimicking print and working outside.

REMEMBER this is the vlog version of the review, I do these raw and simple to get the info out there asap, we will be filming a more proper review (although shorter) before the end of the year when I know the device a bit better.

    Hi, thanks for the great reviews! Very interesting, would love to see/hear more!
    I toyed around with one of these at a store yesterday and I am strongly considering buying one.
    A quick question, the demo unit had a few quirks in Photoshop, would love to hear if you came around those too?
    1. When drawing a line, the tablet would register the entire line and it would be drawn correctly, but the first bit of the line didn’t appear as I was drawing it, but all of a sudden, after a short moment – did that happen with your unit?
    2. The switch between drawing and touch gestures took a moment in Photoshop, I could draw and when I wanted to pinch to zoom it would take up to 8 attempts before the tablet would recognise the gesture.

    Thanks and best regards from Germany!

      Touch and Ps can be a bit…. well…. it works great but it’s a bit getting used to.
      I found myself searching at first but now that I know the “flow” it’s actually quite easy, I do miss sometimes but not as much as when I started.

      I’m used the iPad pro and that switches seamlessly in for example pro-create.
      The WMSP is of course switching between pen and touch as two different ways of input, so it takes a bit getting used to, the trick seems to be to lift the pen from the screen far enough.

    Mine arrives from Amazon tomorrow night… I’ve bookmarked your page and your software recommendations as I start setting it up. PS… how big of a job was it re-importing any/all of your Manga Studio custom brushes?!
