Drawing masks... iPad support? Preferred tablets?

[Reign of Crows]

Hi everyone,

I ditched my mouse for touch pads a few years ago... but the touchpad can be a bit painful when drawing masks, particularly when trying to do really fine work. The setting for "pen pressure control" is always on my mind when I adjust brush settings, so it got me thinking: this would be way easier with a stylus.

Looking around online, everyone is talking about Wacom tablets. Great! What models are compatible with Capture One Pro? I can't find a list anywhere. What model do people prefer to work with?

Or can I skip the Wacom entirely? I already have an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil. It doesn't look like Capture One has an official way to do it, but can I use the iPad to draw the masks? Possibly by extending my display to the iPad...? Not sure if input on the iPad carries over that way, though.

Greatly appreciate any tips you all have.

I am interested in this topic too!

Do you have a Mac or Windows PC?

In the AppStore for the iPad you can find apps like Duet that make you iPad a screen to your Mac. Have not looked much into it, so maybe someone else can chime in.

I'm using a Mac. I do have one of those mirroring apps, useful for turning a laptop (or even a desktop) into a dual-monitor display in a pinch, but I don't recall if input from the iPad is accepted on the computer side... and if it is, I'm not sure if pen input, in particular, is accepted (or accepted as something besides standard mouse/trackpad input). I might give it a try if I can find some time this weekend...

Good points. I have not look into that as much as well. Looking forward to your discoveries, if any.

I'd tested this out in the past, and the input was treating simply as clicks and click/drags. It was clumsy at best.
