In the days when I did a lot of pre-press work all the preparatory work for layout and design was done with pen and paper, on anything up to A1 sheets. However, it does depend on what you want to do with the tablet and what your background is. The bigger the tablet the better, preferably something in the A3+ region. I haven't used anything but a XP-Pen DECO 03 Graphics tablet for years, no mouse on my desk. Their 13" screen tablet is wonderful, however, it is aound $370.Ĭheck them out before you make any decision. The best small screen tablets are by Artisul. For around $100 more than you would pay for the Wacom PTH451 you can get a 13" screen tablet from XP-Pen (XP-Pen Artist Display 13.3).
Look into the XP-Pen Deco 01, another great performer.īoth those companies have drawing screen tablets in addition to pen tablets. It has 8192 Pen Pressure, 12 Express Keys, Built-in 8GB MicroSD Card and 10" x 6.25" drawing surface, about 2.5 times larger than the Wacom everyone suggests.
#Huion working with pyxel edit plus
Until 5 years ago or so Wacom would have been the best choice but not anymore.įor example, the Huion 1060 Plus is $83.00 on Amazon. You owe it to yourself to do some homework.Īnd on top of having a first rate tablet you also pay half if not less.
You will be amazed at how good some of the alternative tablets are. Go to youtube and spend a couple of hours on reviews. It seems everyone think Wacom is the way to go so let give you some advice, check Huion tablets ( ) and XP-Pen tablets (). (Including the small size for photo editing) I can tell you that when this subject came up about 2 weeks ago, this was the most popular conclusion. In any case, go for Wacom, they're the best. There is a search function on dpreview, if you do a search here on the retouch forum you'll get loads of hits about the same question. I mean, is it possible to use such a pen (if it does exist) instead of a mouse, doing photo editing while watching progress at the monitor display screen, holding a pen in a more relaxed way that does not cause all sorts of problems associated with mouse usage? is it a must to use dedicated Graphic Tablets for Photo Editing, or is there maybe some option out there to use some very high resolution pen (instead of a mouse) coupled with some dedicated hi-tech pad surface that support very high resolution? I am aware of a search option on DPR, but I am very rare quest on this Retouching forum, and sometimes new items appear so often on the market that I wanted to avoid browsing through a hundreds of topics looking for some up-to-date info, while some kind soul could provide at least some fresh up-to-date DPR link about that matter of my interest.ītw. I am doing photo editing for many years, but not on a daily basis, and now with some demanding higher volume business in perspective I would like to spare me from frustration of using classic mouse for more demanding and time consuming tasks. In any case, go for Wacom, they're the best. This question pops up at least every two weeks or month. There is a search function on dpreview, if you do a search here on the retouch forum you'll get loads of hits about the same question. Please, tell me what are current options, and let me know about your opinions based on a 1st hand experience. Meaning, I am not interested in any entry level half baked products, nor will I spend a top $$$ for the latest and greatest just for bragging rights. I am ready to spend some decent $$$ for that tool, but would like to get the best value for money. There is such a huge offer of various Graphics Tablets for Photo Retouching (Editing) on the market, that I really feel it' would be much easier to choose the right photo-bag or the best tripod, if you know what I mean! Doing all that detail work (often on a pixel level) at the moment with the top-of-the line high-res mouse is a source of a great pain and frustration for many reasons. In the near future I will be doing a plenty of photo editing on high resolution images (36 Mp+).
