Wacom has big edge-to-edge pen displays up its sleeves for the Cintiq Pro line

Wacom Cintiq Pro is adding something bigger and bolder | Product Announcement
Wacom’s line of pen displays for artists and designers is about to get a whole lot bigger. On Tuesday, Wacom announced that two tablets nearly double the size of the existing Pro line are in the works for 2018. The Wacom Cintiq Pro line will gain a 24- and 32-inch option alongside

the existing 13- and 16-inch pen displays.

Both new tablets will use 4K, edge-to-edge displays to make the most of the larger footprints. The screen also boasts a billion colors for the accuracy that artists need, Wacom says.

The upcoming pen displays will also bring the Pro Pen 2 technology available on the existing Cintiq Pro line with 8,192 different levels of sensitivity to pressure — or four times the company’s previous pen system. The pen offers tilt response as well, creating a design interface that is virtually lag-free, the company says.

Wacom designed the Cintiq Pro line not as a stand-alone tablet (though the company does offer tablets like the MobileStudio Pro) but as a tool to use alongside a desktop computer, bringing touch controls for drawing without losing power to the smaller processors of dedicated tablets. The series is compatible with both Mac and PCs.

While exact details are slim, the Cintiq Pro’s smaller family members also get a color boost as the size increases, with the portable HD 13-inch option hitting an 87 percent Adobe RGB color rating and the 4K 16-inch offering a 94 percent color rating.

While the Cintiq Pro line has a smaller 13-inch and 16-inch option, the company does have a few larger screens outside that “Pro” designation. With the announcement, the company is dropping the price on their existing large-screen pen systems, with a $100 drop on the Cintiq 22HD Pen Display and $400 off both the Cintiq 27HD Pen Display and the Cintiq 27HD Pen & Touch Display.

Wacom is taking a different approach to announcing the large options, revealing details on the new options over time. The company will slowly be sharing details over the next six months with a series of teasers. Users interested in the upcoming pen displays can sign up for email updates on Wacom’s website to stay up to date on the news.

The larger Wacom Cintiq Pro pen displays are expected in January, with a price range between $1,999 and $3,299.

An ace photographer is about to leave the ISS. Here are his best shots

NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick is preparing to return to Earth after spending seven months living and working aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

After arriving at the orbital outpost, Dominick -- who is on his first mission to space -- quickly earned a reputation for being an ace photographer. He's been using the facility’s plethora of high-end cameras and lenses to capture amazing shots from his unique vantage point some 250 miles above Earth. Sharing his content on social media, the American astronaut has always been happy to reveal how he captured the imagery and offer extra insight for folks interested to know more.

Filter-free and fun, the Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera is on sale Right Now for Prime Day
fujifilm instax mini 11 camera prime big deal days

It's 2024, and you’re considering a point-and-shoot camera. Zero judgment here. I miss the good ol’ days of flipping through actual photo albums instead of doom-scrolling on Instagram. You can get back to those days by snagging a (in the ice white color), and it’s the perfect time because it’s on sale. Get it for 24% off during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, but hurry while inventory is going strong.
There’s something magical about having a physical photo right in your hand seconds after snapping the shot, and it adds a fun, retro vibe to moments you want to capture and keep. Plus, having an actual picture to hold and display can be so much more satisfying than just another digital file on your phone. I picked one up two years ago for my eight-year-old daughter, and it’s been an instant hit in our household. And now, at its $59 sale price, I'm definitely going to be stocking up on a few to gift ahead of the holiday season.

How the Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 works
The delightful throwback comes with a FUJINON 60mm lens and an automatic exposure feature that adjusts the shutter speed for the best shot, even in low light. While the picture quality won’t be as crisp as what your smartphone can capture, it’ll still produce a quality image worthy of slapping on a refrigerator.
If selfies are your thing, this camera has a dedicated Selfie Mode (with a mirror). We set up a DIY photo booth for my daughter's birthday party with sticker frames so each kid could go home with a photo souvenir, and it was a total hit.
You can opt to make it a set with a range of accessories to buy separately, like a carrying case, a handy strap, those sticker borders I mentioned, and photo albums to hold the memories.
