Looking for a drawing tablet for photo editing

goulanzi · 02-17-2020, 02:38 AM

I have been curious about getting a graphics tablet for photo editing in Lightroom and Photoshop. Having never used one before I am reluctant to drop a lot of cash on a Wacom only to find out I don't like it.

I am considering getting the XP-Pen Deco 01 tablet for $50 to see if I like using one before spending more on a better quality tablet. My worries are that the XP-Pen tablet will be too cheap and clunky which will turn me off using a tablet all together which may not happen with a better quality tablet. I am also slightly concerned that me having zero drawing or painting skills will translate to poor skills using a tablet.

Does anyone have any experience with the XP-Pen tablet?

If it is the same people that manufacture/repackage the Artist tablet that a friend of my daughter's purchased, it's not as good as the equivalent Wacom units they use at work but it's still excellent value.
