    Thanks for the video. I bought easycanvas long time ago and gave up due to the large latency. I then saw your video and realized that, indeed, usb cable makes a big difference over wifi connection ! Now I am pretty happy with my setup : PC + ipad pro + apple pencil. In my case, I am using MS Word : I can annotate over charts or highlight some parts of my documents during presentations. That's great ! I was so close to buy a wacom or xp pen tablet ... so thanks for sharing and helping me save on products and money ! BR -- christophe

    Quick tip: clip studio has a mobile version but under preferences you can change to the desktop version on ipad. It’s exactly the same as the pc version. I recommend pairing it with a keyboard to the ipad for the shortcuts

      Yep. It works great. I used it here through the laptop because I have a single-device licence assigned to my laptop, and it shows the full functionality of the Pencil being supported really well.

    I was a using a huion 22 plus only to see the color inaccuracy was crazy, so i ended up using my ipad for animation and illustration art work. It's been alot better than the 400 bucks i spent lol.

      Thanks for the comment! Woah, yeah, that's really good point about the colours and that there is likely going to be a big difference from a regular display tablet (at least the more affordable ones). Interesting trade-off between having better colors or having larger area to work.

      I just checked the latest release notes for EasyCanvas on iPad and in v4.8.4 they mention adding support for Pencil Hover, supporting the Apple Pencil Pro (don't know to what extent), and the double tap feature of the Pencil.
      I don't have the latest iPad to be able to check this myself unfortunately, but perhaps the barrel rotation isn't supported?
      Do you use tilt much for your brushes? I sometimes have tilt set to rotate brush tip angle which might be a workaround to try.

    Hi...thank you for the video but do you know of one that would show me step by step how to install Easy Canvas on iPad and PC? I did find one that got me so far but when it told me to start the program on my PC I can't. I would assume that once installed it would appear as an icon somewhere but it doesn't appear anywhere. The instructions I did find said tthis: Start the Program: "ezcvs_agent.exe" on your PC. That file does not appear in the Display EL Hub list of files. I asked the author of that tutorial for help but he said he doesn't use EasyCanvas anyore so that was very helpful. I have also asked for help via the EasyCanvas support page but there has been no reply. They seem to have disappeared off the face of the map.
    Sorry for the long tirade but you could be my last resort. Thanks.

      Hi there. ah, yeah, I’ve never received a reply from Devguru EasyCanvas support. Actually messaged them this week as well because of suddenly having issues connecting to my Galaxy Tab.
      anyway… since you have the application installed on your computer, you should just find the EL Display Hub from your Start menu and run that.
      install the EasyCanvas app ( or subscription version) on your iPad via the App Store.
      connect a usb cable between your computer and iPad.
      Make sure both are connected to same WiFi network.
      open Easy Canvas on the iPad.
      it should do the rest on it’s own from this point.
      if it fails, uninstall application from all devices, reboot, and try installing again.
      let me know if this works.

    • @jennydowde9996
      @jennydowde9996 11 місяців тому

      Thanks for replying. I got so frustrated that I uninstalled the program yesterday...it's only a three day trial these days and I was running out of time before I had to pay. Didn't want to pay until I knew it worked. I'll download it again at some point and try again.
      Regarding the Display EL Hub from Start menu...that was listed in Program Files but nothing happened when I clicked on it. I didn't try it from the Start menu.
      I plug the cable into the front of my CPU but have since read to use a port on the back...is this absolutely necessary?
      I have also messaged the developers...no response. I think they have decided to ignore us....except when they want us to pay for the program of course. Really bad PR! Thanks again for your help.

      Give Astropad a try. Trial period is 14 days. It's a bit more expensive though seeing as it is subscription-based. But they have been actively improving the software and we're quick to respond when I had queries. Can only mirror display though unless you have their Luna Display dongle

      Yeah, adding peripherals is definitely an option. If you're using something like a Tourbox for example, you're good to go.
      I hear you. I guess it's all relative and each person will need to weigh it up differently. I pay more for my streaming service of choice, so why not spend on a useful bit of software if I'm going to use it most days of the week. But I'm using a range of other tablets for my work, and not only the iPad with my laptop, so EasyCanvas is enough for my current needs.
      That said, I sure wouldn't mind if Astropad was a little less (they do run occasional specials like on Black Friday), or if they offered a once-off payment option.

      Strange that your pen pressure is not working. Just checking, you are using an official Apple Pencil, right?
      For using as an extended display, you will have to open the EL Display Hub on your PC and adjust the display to Extended. If it doesn't switch when you set that, the next step should be to check your PC display settings and set it to extend. Sometimes a restart or two of both devices will help fix things up.

      Astropad is more expensive, yes. But you are also getting much more with it in terms of being able to customize things.
      Depending on where you are in the world, the price isn't too different from a streaming service, which I think is manageable for something that helps with my work. But, I wish they could still add extended display support through software rather than only hardware, even if the quality is a little lower than what is possible with Luna Display

      The one downside to EasyCanvas is the lack of ongoing development and compatibility. Two-finger zoom doesn't seem to work in 3D applications. Doesn't work in Blender either.
      I think it's worth trying a trial of @Astropad as they specifically dedicated time to improving 3D app compatibility. And even more so if you have Apple Pencil Hover. In Astropad, two-finger press+hold = middle mouse button hold

      Hm, good question. I don't see any reason to wait and spend more on the 2024 iPad Pro, so personally I'd rule that one out.
      It's a tough call between the two options though. Both will give a great drawing experience. The Tab S9 Ultra will give you a little extra screen real estate and expandable storage, but the iPad Pro has a solid track record with long-term use.
      Maybe app options are something to consider - If you are very specifically wanting to work in Procreate and Procreate Dreams, well then the choice is easy. I tend to use Infinite Painter and Magma though, which are available on Android and iPadOS.

    • @EyekooDrawsStuff
      @EyekooDrawsStuff  8 місяців тому +2

      @@5nealthy Good question. Well, the main pro for Astropad is the level of customizability... You can really adjust things the way you like them if you intend to use the sidebar shortcuts and gestures. This is less of a big deal if you use a wireless keyboard or controller to the side for shortcuts.
      The other two big points are that Astropad supports Apple Pencil Hover if you use the latest iPad Pro, and through that have better support for modeling in Blender.
      The main downside of Astropad is that on its own, you can only mirror your main display, not extend. You need extra Luna Display dongle to extend.
      I would say that generally EasyCanvas does the job well enough for most cases. And you can extend display right away, and only have to pay a one-time purchase fee.

      @EyekooDrawsStuff  11 місяців тому

      Thanks for the comment. Glad the video was helpful. And great question... I would say it almost doesn't matter which you choose in terms of pen quality and drawing experience. With Galaxy tab, you have option to try a couple of other pens with Wacom's EMR if S Pen is too slim. The extra screen real estate and storage options from the S9 Ultra is pretty appealing, and there are really good apps available.
      Software on the iPad Pro though is really good too of course. If you intend to do any animation or video editing, I'd go with this because you'll have Procreate Dreams and DaVinci Resolve. If you're not in a rush, you may want to wait to see what the next iPad Pro model offers... Rumors suggest possible minor increase in screen size, M3 chip... But maybe only releasing in March/April. Long wait if you are wanting something now.

      I agree that Procreate is difficult to beat. It's really well designed, intuitive, and very well optimized in terms of performance.
      What is it missing though? Perhaps a few tools but one might consider that minor. A lasso fill tool for example... I'm really surprised they haven't built this in. Just combines selection and bucket fill to speed up certain types of work.
