Yeah, I could see it. But does having a touchscreen means it also works with a pen? I seriously contemplated getting a Deck at some point, I love the fact that it’s very open. But ultimately my priorities lie elsewhere.
Presumably, its an electroconductive sensitive screen the way phones are?
So… just use a stylus made of sufficiently conductive material, that it can complete a circuit from screen -> stylus -> hand?
Yeah I dunno, like I said, I am not a tablet artist, lol.
I can’t actually find any touchscreen specific specs or description, but… mine is an OLED, and apparently the touchscreen is better, more sensitive than the original LCD variant.
Also I just now saw your biggest image note.
30 gigs of RAM?
To open an image?
… What?!
Sorry, right, I’m more like a game dev person, having a texture file that large/computstionally expensive… it is literally incomprehensible to me, what the fuck.
Not even like ai autoupscaling your 4k textures to 8k textures, for some fucking reason, is gonna be that big.
We… kind of tend to want to optimize memory usage… in… video games… use high performance compression… I… what? How?
No it’s a .kra file, this one contained hundreds of layers, some rather high def on their own, to create a big illustration for print
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/YK45JK
It’s a working file, from which I export TIFFs or PDFs for the printer. Those end up weighing a few hundred megabytes tops
I suppose the 13k*13k you mentioned must have been heavy to handle as well
Ok, that makes a lot for sense, I’d never even heard of a .kra file… hundreds of layers, ok, that makes sense.
Wait. It that the file extension for krita projects?
… yeah so i mostly do coding, lol, art is uh… not my forte, hahah!
Anyway, damn good drawing! Painting? Artwork? Sorry, I don’t know the right word.
But uh my file was only a single layer, granted, I made a working krita project out of maybe 10 ish layers of the same dimensions, all from the same dataset… it was only really bad to initially load them in… but… yeah if you try to like, complex filter lend whole other layers by other layers, sequentially… yeah, that’ll chug, Deck fan kicks over to max…
But so far its never fully maxxed out memory and actually crashed.
Yes I suspect filters are not cached or something… it looks like they constantly reprocess when you navigate around the composition. Painting itself is smooth but selection/layer transformation and (sometimes) navigation have some room for optimisation I guess
Thank you for the kind feedback
Yes .kra is the regular Krita extension it’s the equivalent of .psd for photoshop
What I guess the deck could be ideal as is a little sketch pad… for that purpose maybe I’d try MyPaint, it has a simplicity that I think would mesh well with the small format

I have no idea.

My head hurts now.
