[QUOTE="BriarMonkey, post: 6047294, member: 95387"] I haven't much familiarity with Paintshop, due to the price tag, thus my mention of GIMP - and yes, it can be overwhelming due to all the features it has. And my use of GIMP has been pretty minor - mainly doing some animated GIFs and basic image manipulation, so I can't speak to those add-ins either. (Yeah, I'm kinda not a graphics bubba.) And while I'd love to mention the tablet I had used from Windows 3.1 through Windows XP - I am afraid I can't. This is because the last XP upgrade went to a mostly USB machine, and the tablet was a serial device - so it went away (so that was... what, like three or four machines ago). Thus I can not recall who made the thing, or if they are even still in business. However, yes, Wacom is the big boy on the block. They have models that can run the gamut from basic, all the way to professional use (and costing as much as 1000$). But, if I were to get a new graphics tablet for my PC, I'd probably go with Wacom's Bamboo line. Most are under 100$ (with one at 200$ - for the more artistically inclined). And for what we are looking at here, you really just need one that can mimick the movements of your hand or a pencil. Since I am not currently gaming, I really didn't give much thought to the tablet, but now that I'm thinking about it... If I pick one up soon, I'll come back and make mention of what I got and how it works. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
