This is very very impressive:

I wonder if there could be useful applications for Astropad but in the video space...
Whenever people question how the iPad Pro can be used professionally when it can't run desktop CS, this was always my answer. So glad it's just as magical for him too.
You have used it? Do you mind uploading a small video clip? I can't seem to find anyone demo'ing itThere is a slight lag and some mpg jaggies here and there. It's actually not too bad unless you stare at the OSX screen while you draw. If you draw on the iPad, it's actually pretty smooth and doesn't seem really lagged at all.
I use Astropad with my Air 2 and the lag is only present over wifi with a poor connection OR when far away from the router. I have my router in the room next to my office and when the connection is decent (stupid comcast) there is virtually no lag, just like when connected via USB.You have used it?

He didnt even show any drawing done. Doesn't it lag over wifi?
It's not specifically app dependent. It'll work with pretty much any piece of software that can accept inputs via mouse. It does work a bit better with some vs others (e.g. pressure sensitivity doesn't work currently in Illustrator but does in Photoshop), so you'll have to experiment, or you can tweet them and ask!WOW!!!! My mind was just blown. I had heard of the Astropad app in the past and thought it sounded like it'd be some sort of vapor-ware or pie-in-the-sky type thing but watching this just gave me a LOT of hope. I had resisted the Cintiq for ages because of what he said: tons of cables, adapters, etc. and the fact that my local machine wasn't a powerhouse to begin with. This functionality for the iPad essentially means you could sketch something natively on the IPP, send it to your Mac and edit it with Astropad. Reviews like this are going to make every serious artist take note.
I do wonder: can you use Astropad with animation software like Toon Boom? Or is it Photoshop only?
Well, I got my Pencil today, and I'm very disappointed that I'm not having even remotely the same positive experience as the artist in the video above. I'm getting a weird "blow-out" effect on the ends of strokes in both of my usual working applications (Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint).

Just a fair warning to anyone who's expecting Cintiq-quality perfection straight out of the box--the software is still in beta (and announces as much when you connect the iPad Pro to your Mac), and there are issues. Unfortunately, it's not usable to me until this particular problem is fixed. Huge let-down to say the least…!
I'd like to know, too! It's possible that it's not an issue (or at least not obvious) when firmer, more consistent pressure is applied per stroke. I have a very, very light touch, so that may be a contributing factor--I've posted on the app's forum and hope to be able to share some useful information with the developers that way.That is unfortunate. I wonder if he tweaked some settings to get it working, or if it's a difference in the Photoshop versions, etc.
I assume the pencil doesn't exhibit the splotches in a iOS app like procreate?
Reach out to the Devs via twitter or the Astropad community website. They're happy to help troubleshoot.Well, I got my Pencil today, and I'm very disappointed that I'm not having even remotely the same positive experience as the artist in the video above.

Thanks! I made a post yesterday on the community site, but no response so far from anyone. I'll definitely report back here if I should hear back from the devs!Reach out to the Devs via twitter or the Astropad community website. They're happy to help troubleshoot.
