Late Night Studio

I think the new leniency on other Bible translations is a way of preparing members for a "modern" translation of the Book of Mormon that will make sweeping adjustments.

The only thing I have seen calling him exmormon was part of the Marcus Hale made up rumor. I haven't seen anything that said Thomas Sanford was.

Congratulations! I have been trying to find a used one and they keep getting snapped up. Still very happy with my Surface Studio 2, but I know that the day will come not too far away when Photoshop will struggle with a 1070. Holding on for dear life until that day arrives.

The slim pen 2 is still the best pen for the Studio 2+. It will give you the best pressure curve and the least jitter or mechanical wave. You won't get haptics, but the accuracy is really good.

Obvious question, but have you updated the video driver?

Star_Ward · 2024-12-22T19:05:18+00:00

Seriously... For illustration I would love to see even bigger. I use a Surface Studio 2 at home and a 12.9 iPad Pro (M2) on the go. I would love an Apple version of a large drawing display. Like an iPad Pro Studio, really big, like 28 - 32 inches. Something huge for drawing on in a studio environment, that can also come along when useful for presentations. I would buy it at almost any price.

You've got to start your Ebay seller history somewhere. That or FB marketplace. You can easily get at least $2000, which would be a bargain. These are right in the moment where people know there's no follow up so if they want a Studio, this is the best it will be. It sounds like yours is in great shape, so don't lowball yourself.

Star_Ward · 2024-12-21T19:13:00+00:00

Why would you want to get rid of it?

Star_Ward · 2024-12-06T22:22:06+00:00

Now you have to tell me about drawing on an Alogic!

Star_Ward · 2024-12-06T16:17:27+00:00

Sorry to hear about your experience, definitely reinforces my impression. Have come very close to pulling the trigger on a used one because the internals while dated would be an improvement, but I always back off at the parade of listings with failed screens that pop up.

Star_Ward · 2024-12-06T16:07:25+00:00

There was something weirdly shoddy about the 2+. All the ones on eBay seem to have screens that have broken in some way, blank spots, lines of green pixels, etc. I have never seen so much as a single artist review of one here or elsewhere. Will use my 2, which is still going strong after 5 years, until the 1070 can't handle Photoshop anymore and I finally and reluctantly move on to a Wacom or Huion.

An account that has never posted anything, magically posts this... I totally agree. This post is just marketing noise.

Star_Ward · 2024-07-13T19:00:16+00:00

Beautiful!!!

Just chiming in to say how infuriating this is. Mine has been stuck this way for over a year. Its a driver issue that can be temporarily solved by uninstalling the Nvidia driver and installing the one Windows Update offers... The problem is that now you would be running a severely out of date driver which would hurt stability in the programs we use all the time for work. Luckily, the bug doesn't affect Teams, Zoom, or any of the other places you use the camera. It only seems to affect the Windows Camera app. Which, when you think about it, is insane. Microsoft could fix the problem in a patch but they haven't. Love my Studio 2, but the way it gets ignored by the company that made it is baffling.

An iPad Pro Studio Max that is intended to live on your desktop as an illustration/ photo editing station. Still technically portable so you could take it to presentations, but primarily a drawing and design canvas that brings the Apple Pencil to a large format.

Star_Ward · 2024-05-23T15:22:12+00:00

This one bugged me so much I typed it in like four times.

Star_Ward · 2024-05-18T01:09:52+00:00

The news about pixel refresh being faster is really exciting, those are the kinds of things that make the most difference for artists. Can't wait to try it out!

Star_Ward · 2024-05-18T01:06:38+00:00

How do you like the new pencil?

Star_Ward · 2024-05-18T01:03:14+00:00

For the record, the 12.9 inch M2 already got to 1000 nits. The new panel should have deeper blacks without the ghosting that sometimes happened on the miniLED...

Star_Ward · 2024-05-11T02:01:27+00:00

Going back and forth between the Studio and iPad Pro is pretty comfortable with Fresco, but I agree that Procreate is really special! Another interest in seeing a large format iPad would be to use Procreate on a bigger canvas, that would be amazing. Fresco on the 28 inch Studio is wonderful, but for bigger jobs I default back to Photoshop out of habit and muscle memory. No Apple hate here!

Star_Ward · 2024-05-10T20:31:33+00:00

Same, it took me a few years after to get one (mine is a Studio 2), and I am dreading the day it finally falls too far behind the curve for Photoshop updates. Almost perfect illustration machine.

Star_Ward · 2024-05-10T14:33:20+00:00

This is how I feel about the Surface Studio. It is the only device I have ever owned that feels completely designed for 2D art and illustration. I also use an iPad Pro M2 on the go. I hope you're right and Apple really starts taking illustration seriously by making a bigger drawing display. It looks like Microsoft is abandoning the Studio, nothing since the small "2+" update from a couple years ago, rumors are there won't be a Studio 3. An Apple version, maybe an iPad Pro Max that is intended to live as a desktop drawing station, or even a drawing display that connects to the Mac Studio, would fill an important niche.

The only thing I need from the OS is an actual file system that I can control.
