Tablets

**Victor** · 05/24/08, 04:00 AM

Well, I have some questions about Tablets for my Computer.
First:
Any recommendations on specific brands? Nothing to expensive. ~130.00 USD.

Also I was looking at:
Aiptek Slim Tablet : Target
Its an Aiptek and I dunno if thats a good brand or not.
• Drawing Tablet for PC
• Features Adjustable Sensitivity
• Other Features Include Customizable Keys
• Compatible with Windows XP/2000/98SE/ME
• Comes with USB Cable
• 12" x 10" x 5/16 "; 1.0 Lb.

Will I be able to use these with GIMP or are they specifically for Photoshop?

Any other helpful tidbits would be nice.

I know nothing about tablets.

but you could've posted this in the technology forums. >_>

good luck on finding one though!

Technology is rarely read.
Also, Tablets have been discussed here before.

They work on anything, they are just an input device used to replace your mouse, PS has additional brush settings, which might come in handy tho.

Anyhow what do you need the tablet for exactly?

Digital Art.
As in drawings and whatnot.
GIMP is really all I should need.

yup Gimp should do, the only thing you really need for coloring is the brush tool anyway (unless your gonna vector/pentool it).
