The third post down in this thread has some links to a bunch of threads on free software. There may be some in that original thread as well. The fourth post has a great spreadsheet with tons of good stuff in it.

You do not need CC to run the adobe apps on your device, but functionality is limited; I never found a way to export vector data from Capture without going through Illustrator. You can export a jpg of the vector and run an auto trace on that, but that’s an extra step.

the clear advantage of mains power vs batteries, of course. gotta hustle where you may…
Look closer…
So you plug it into a 12V source and it outputs a fluctuating 110V - 220V?
Or does the pad create power so you can supply your house with 110?
Please feel free to add things to this post:
It isn’t a category; but if someone searches for “tips” it should come up.

ahaha clearly i glanced over that part without paying much attention, it’s probably a funny translation artifact
Yeah, I’d go with translation error. Huion is a Chinese company. I have a drawing tablet from them and saw a few other quirky translations in its manual.

Great suggestion. We’ll probably have a big recategoryshufflizing around production shipping time so we keep the # of categories small and well defined. And +1 to the idea of contacting @jules, who is organizing some glowfolk-to-glowfolk help.

I’m so looking forward to the “Gallery” category once units are shipping. Possibly it’s own header on the Home page rather than in the forum.

There is a wiki thread & section for this now. A few of us have contributed some tips to the tip doc. If I find the link I’ll add it to this post.
Edit: I see it linked above. “Tips for the inexperienced” What’s nice about it being a Wiki is you can update it for everyone else’s benefit. So grab your tip bag and start unloading on that thread!

Lol nice…your kingdom for little 1/8" rubber feet…
I have an eastern facing glass door at my office…I generally do my “light table” work taped up on it in the mornings…lmao.
But I have LEDs as well as light difusing acrylic I guess I could put something together, but where’s the challenge in that…

using a window works great if you don’t have a lightbox (or, ahem, if your lightbox has become a table surface and you can’t be bothered to move everything off of it). If your window is ground level and faces the parking lot you can pull a vehicle up and use the headlights as backlighting at night.

I had thought about building a light table into one end of my layout table but expected it would be buried too often. My theory is a portable light pad will live on a shelf under the layout table and only come out when I’m using it. It should arrive tomorrow. I give it until next Friday to get buried.

One advantage of using a computer monitor (with a white blank “picture” displayed) is it never gets buried or used as a horizontal storage surface
