georgiejr Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hi, I am very new into photo editing. I am trying to learn the basics like removing backgrounds, merging 2 images into one and having a hard time using the mouse and keyboard. I don't have any talent or urge to draw so more of editing existing pictures. A friend suggested a graphic tablet and I would like to know the best table for beginners to be able to do the things I want to do in an effective and faster way than the mouse. So I need recommendations on some video to do the basic things and also some videos on how to use the tablet with paint.net Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Then you probably don't want tablet, as they are primarily used for drawing (i.e. brush strokes). On top of that, the brush system in Paint.NET doesn't fully support tablets yet. In other words, the tablet would act as a mouse. No pressure sensitivity. georgiejr, you're better off using a mouse and keyboard.

Not really -- just because pressure sensitivity isn't hooked up doesn't mean a pen and tablet aren't a great way to draw! As long as you have v4.2.6 or newer, it will work great. Just not pressure sensitive. 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to note, this isn't necessarily true at all, but you know this though. A good case of using tablets to edit picture is photo restoration where you paint in details or dodge/burn photographs.

toe_head2001 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Both Rick and Reptillian seemed to have misinterpreted me. When I said "You're", it was directed only to georgiejr . It was not a general statement meaning "You all". So, most people would do just fine with a tablet, but georgiejr would be better off with the mouse and keyboard, because he has no interest in drawing. 1 Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts.
