Wacom Movink Review — A Photographer’s Perspective

Why the Wacom Movink?

I’ve been using the Wacom Movink for seven months as part of my retouching workflow. As a photographer, this thin, portable pen display has transformed the way I work compared to my old Intuos tablet. It’s lightweight, intuitive, and far more professional than using an iPad for the same purpose.

Build & portability

The Movink is wafer-thin and slips neatly into its supplied leather case. Wacom also included a folding frame stand, making it easy to set up in studio or on the go. Connectivity is simple via USB-C, and the supplied pen is comfortable for long editing sessions.

Performance in Capture One & Photoshop

I’ve tested the Movink across Capture One and Photoshop for beauty retouching. The experience of drawing directly on the image is natural and precise. Retouching with a pen on the screen feels intuitive, with no noticeable lag even when working on large files.

How it compares

Compared to an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil, the Movink feels more professional and better suited for intensive retouching. It also integrates seamlessly with DaVinci Resolve as a dual screen for grading setups. For my workflow, it strikes the right balance between size, portability, and performance.

Is it perfect? No device is. But for me, the Movink is a superb tool for photographers who want a true portable retouching station. If you’re considering upgrading from an older Intuos tablet, this is a serious step forward.
