I bought it new in 2005, its not macro version . I have someone taking a look at it on Friday. I will notify post whether it sells or is still available.
howya lorraine, this is exactly what you need, ive often used it at home on couch with laptop on coffe table and tablet on lap legs draped over armchair, or in the classic secondary school position of balancing on hind legs of chair with tablet on lap, its small light and precise, powered via the usb of your pc or laptop, great for all couch potatos so, since getting it though my backs in much better shape too as i dont have my arm arched over badly positioned mouse all day
Picked up a wacom graphire 4 for about ?110 from the wacom online shop, really has improved workflow and more importantly comfort whilst working the a5 size makes it really handy for having it resting on your lap too if you like me often have a cluttered desk, increases accuracy a hundred fold for tricky selections or adjustments, best money i spent in a long time
last time i checked they were selling a 2nd hand graphire 4 on the wacom shop for ?45
Photoshop is just a digital darkroom, for me its where you process your image without getting high on fixer and developer. Nobody ever criticises a film photograph that has been altered in the dark room, if your a true film purist only wanting to see ‘natural’ or ‘real’ photos then that would mean printing minus any grading, dodging, burning etc. Whats the difference in cross processing in a lab or in photoshop? Photoshop processing does not affect the right to call a photo a photo or documentary photo just because you have increased contrast, or sharpened an image.As long as composition hasnt been altered I dont think anyone has the right to say its not a photo. I would have difficulty alright in calling an image in which composition has been altered or two images combined to create 1 a photo that is graphic art to me. I think many people are too hung up on the film v digital debate as they are both just formats neither has the right to be called a truer photo. Each should be used on its own merits and relevance to a particular project or subject.
