Chose a lightbox over a projector for my gallery wall, big mistake
Spent $120 on a lightbox to trace my line art for a local show. Thought it'd be faster than the old projector setup. Wasted 2 evenings fighting glare and shadows. Projector would've had that piece done in one sit. Anyone else regret switching tools right before a deadline?
Two evenings of glare sounds like a you problem more than a lightbox problem, since a $120 box is pretty forgiving once you stop sitting between it and the window. Projectors throw soft edges and forced you to stand back, which is exactly why you could not see the wobble in your lines until it was too late. The tool did not wreck your deadline, your setup did.
