Drawing and retouching with tablets

Whether you are a creative photographer, graphic designer or illustrator, the Wacom Bamboo range of digital drawing tablets is a great asset to have when creating your images. The tablet plugs straight into your PC or Mac and allows you to paint, draw and digitally retouch your artwork with precision and sensitivity.

The pen that is provided with the tablet is as close to tactile drawing as you can get. It works seamlessly with Photoshop so you can work with digital brushes, cloning tools, and a variety of textured implements. The tablet not only allows you to create artwork from scratch but provides a welcome alternative to your track pad or mouse. You can navigate Photoshop and many other creative packages more efficiently and with greater creative possibilities.

Equally you can use it for day-to-day administrative purposes. For example, digital signatures, very useful when you want to sign a document without having to print, hand sign and scan your paperwork.

Bamboo offers a range of products from the Fun range all the way up to Bamboo Connect, which provides a larger tablet to increase flexibility and work space. Here is a link to their website.
