Measuring in digital - Razzer - 10-21-2013
Hi guys! :)
So recently I moved from traditional (back) to digital and I was just wondering - how do you measure angles and proportions in digital? (needed especially for studies)
I mean IRL I would do it with my pencil or my brush but in digital I have this bulky, thick, irregular stylus which isn't much help. (I have a cintiq 12wx)
In the end I went the medieval way and had a pencil in my left hand and my stylus in my right :P ... How do you guys do it?

Ive had a similar issue, if i really need pinpoint accuracy then ill use the ruler tool in PS, but I wont recomend it, better to eyeball it. The way I use is make a fast stroke motion as a measurement then do it again to get another unit. Hard to explain sorry.
Another way Ive used is measuring with fingers :D
