Simply place your phone onto the DeX Station and DeX Pad, or plug in the DeX Cable, and connect to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to continue what you’re doing on your phone on the large monitor screen. Samsung DeX is the way to get a desktop experience with select Galaxy devices. Choose “Display Settings.” Select “Extend these displays” on the drop-down menu.

If you don’t want your Android to mirror the Windows screen but rather just to act as its extension, this is what you need to do: Right-click anywhere on your Windows display. Duet Display, on the other hand, supports Android, iOS, and iPadOS.

I suggest you download the free trial of Studio, or both, and decide.While both Duet Display and Sidecar support wireless and the wired connectivity, but as of now, Sidecar is only available on the latest iPad OS (not even iOS). If you’re using other programs, you might be okay with Standard, which also allows you to use the iPad Pro. If you’re a frequent use of Astropad with Photoshop, Illustrator, or Clip Studio Paint, I think Studio is worth the extra investment. I found Astropad Studio works as advertised.

The monthly update assures you’ll be getting the latest features as soon as they come out. I dislike the idea of subscription-based software, but it’s the world we live in. You get a monthly update with the subscription. Is it worth the extra cost to invest in Astropad Studio over Astropad Standard? The yearly fee right now is about $65, or you can pay monthly and pay a bit more. But the release of Astropad Studio certainly brings a high level of professionalism to the Astropad workflow.įor Windows users, there’s still Duet Display.

Some might find it doesn’t completely replace a Cintiq, because a Cintiq has that toothy texture, and lets you customize more programs. But if you want to see your work on a bigger screen, it does get closer to a Cintiq or other graphics tablet.

If you’d rather just draw on the iPad Pro alone, Astropad isn’t necessary. (Let’s just hope they don’t keep redoing parts of the UI, a habit that gets to me with Adobe stuff.) In a way I like to know what to expect from an app–but this is ready to deliver a lot even if we don’t know exactly what’s in store. Not sure we can expect such dramatic moves every month, but that’s OK. What kind of monthly updates can we expect? According to Astropad, in the works are functions such as a personalized pressure curve.

Seeing art on a big screen not only lets you see any errors you might have made when drawing, and focus on parts individually. But when doing art with a lot of detail, it really helps to see it on a big screen. I’m not crazy about two screens, and frankly I prefer to just draw on one. You might zoom in on the iPad Pro to work, then zoom out to see the result. But there are ways of setting the amount of screen to use.

Pressing and holding it only brought up the choice of full screen or 100%. You can move the ring around, press on or hold.

Using a Magic Gesture while taking a photo of using it (awkward!) One nice thing is that you can use the iPad Pro’s USB to connect it to the Mac, instead of Wi-fi, if you’re having Wi-fi issues like I have been lately and can’t get them on the same network. All you have to do get both the Mac and iPad Pro app–the Mac app from the Astropad site, and the iPad Pro app from the App Store. Installing both applications is simple, as is the setup. If you don’t want to customize, you can use the built-in ones, such as calling up the eraser tool with your finger and the control ring. You can customize program shortcuts in the supported programs, as well as customizing Magic Gestures, which are Pencil/finger combos. Together with GPU acceleration and velocity control, there’s excellent image quality and responsiveness. Studio has “Liquid Extreme,” which offers a much faster bitrate of 60 frames per second, so less lag. Whereas Standard is a onetime purchase, Studio is a yearly or monthly fee, and has monthly updates. Astropad Studio is only for iPad Pro with Apple Pencil, whereas Standard is for iPad2 and up. It’s subscription-based, unlike Astropad Standard, which is still available. Update, July 2017: Astropad Standard and Studio both work with the new 10.5″ iPad.Īstropad has just released a new product specifically for use with the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.
