Cintiq 13HD

4 min read


So now I'm thinking about getting the up dated version of the Cintiq 12 to the Cintiq HD13. just saw the video and why I want it is because it has only 2 connections. USB and HDMI...those are the only power source...which means less wires.  I always wanted to take my Cintiq 12 with me but It has too many wires going all over the place.  This one is simpler. 2 connections. with that I can take it with me and My laptop.  

The Price is the same. a set back of $1000 ($999.99) BUT the pen is now 2000+ pressure sensitive than the 1000+ sensitive Pen that comes with the Cintiq 12.  The screen is 20% bigger, with a res of 1920 x 1080p with 16.7 million colors on display... The Cintiq 12 is at 1290 x 800p. It comes out in April 2013, however, I will save up for and get it next year.  I may also get a new Laptop to go with it...the gateway I have it acting up. I may have to do a new reboot of the OS.

I know I will not sell my current one...I love it. so it stays put. I just hope that they fix the edge problem...(not that it matters to me. I just move the entire picture to the center of the screen.)

May be one day Ill buy the Cintiq 21. but for now, I don't have the room on my small desk to put it.

So... Who's getting the new Cintiq HD13? see it here: cintiq13hd.wacom.com/en



PS: on other notes Wacom has a new Scanner stylus pen that records your real pen strokes on paper. It's called Inkling for only $199. as seen here www.wacom.com/en/products/mobi… not too sure about getting it yet I have to see what others say about it first.

Ok, Played with windows 8 at the Microsoft store today. I have to say i'm almost sold on the idea. HOWEVER. Still not feeling it on the desktop.  It's really meant for a tablet. The good thing about it being on a tablet is that it's a full function computer and not an App based system like an iPad or Android OS based tablet. That being said, If you can run a program on windows 7 it will work with Windows 8 on the Microsoft tablets.  Microsoft is following Apples iCloud Idea with their own cloud servers. It works with the Windows Phones, Tablets, Desktops and Xbox 360.  Still Microsoft is Lagging behind Apple and Andriods Based Systems as far as being the first to release a tablet. If you were to get a Microsoft Tablet today, it will come with windows 7.  It runs slow. Don't get it, wait for 8 to come out. So far no plans for a 7 inch tablet from Microsoft.

I'm using Photoshop CS4, and I'm not sure if there's a filter that's been implemented in any of the CS versions, but if there is then this is an old-school way of doing zip-a-tone manually in Photoshop.

First, make sure the page is at the size and resolution it will be printed at, otherwise when you re size it, it won't look right.

Open up a new document, and make the size 10 pixels square, 20 pixels square, however large you want your individual dots to be. Use the circle marquee and make a perfect circle right in the middle of the document (hold SHIFT to make the circle perfectly round). Now fill with black. Select all (ctrl-A), go to Edit > Define Pattern and give it a name like "zip-a-tone 1" or "zip-a-tone A".

Now go over to your page you want to fill with zip-a-tone. Make sure the area you want toned is selected, then right-click and select "fill." Where it says "foreground color," change that to "pattern," and change the pattern to the one you just saved. Voila.

You can also make more intricate zip-a-tone patterns, just experiment and make lots of patterns so you can choose the one that works best.
