No matter what I tried I couldn't get pressure sensitivity in Sketchbook Pro 7. I still couldn't get pen pressure to work until I discovered that Huion just published an updated driver here: The contents of the text file should read: # Use WinTab Moving on to Photoshop CC 2014, it took some Googling to learn that the software now requires a PSUserConfig.txt file entry in order to work with any Wintab tablet.Ĭreate a text file named PSUserConfig.txt and place it in the Users/UserName/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings. Huion tells me that they're working on improving this via a driver update. In Manga Studio, there is never less than an 1/8-inch gap between the cursor and the pen tip, so inking precisely requires more concentration than I'm accustomed to on Windows tablets. This separation is more pronounced as you view your work from an angle.

Besides the cursor drift problems I cite above, the pen display also has a significant gap between the glass and the screen. UPDATE 8/25/14 After working with the GT-220 for several more days, I've become more aware of the device's parallax issues. I can deal with it, but it does require a pause to concentrate to target the menu items. The cursor and the pen tip are perfectly aligned just below the command bar, but at the menu bar, there's about a quarter-inch offset. In Manga Studio, I found myself relying on the Display Application Menu icon located just above the New Canvas tab rather than going up to the file menu. The screen protector has a satiny finish much better suited to the pen's hard plastic nibs than bare glass.Įdge parallax is a bit of a problem, especially in the upper left corner of the display. And as much as I love the GT-220, it’s definitely not without its flaws.Īfter running the calibration tool and adjusting pen sensitivity, drawing is wonderful. Seriously, this blog needs your support).īut I know you read my reviews for my blunt assessments of the products I test.

If all you use is Manga Studio or Clip Studio Paint, you can stop reading right here and just break out your credit card.

In fact, I was so giddy after unboxing my GT-220, hooking it up, installing drivers and testing with Manga Studio that I was tempted to post my review immediately. The GT-220 is attractive, thin, very well constructed, has excellent viewing angles and most importantly a fantastic 2048 level pressure range. The Yiynova is a much better device, but aesthetic and build quality issues leave a lot to be desired. My issues with the Monoprice are well documented but mainly had to do with its inferior TFT display. This is the third pen display I’ve tested after Yiynova’s MVP-22U (v2) and Monoprice’s Interactive Pen Display (which is functionally the same as Huion’s earlier model, the GT-190). Huion’s new 21.5-inch Interactive IPS Pen Display, the GT-220, is close to a dream come true.
