Once I figure out how to use the software which came with it, I will be able to do some cool editing of photos. Adobe Photoshop Essentials 8.0 is included, as is something called Corel Painter Essentials 4. So if I want to make fake photos, or if I want to become a cyberartist, I guess I have a tool for that.
After a few hours use, one thing is clear -- I'm no better at free-hand art with a stylus than I am with any other medium.
But honestly, my first goal in buying it is to make cool maps for games. And I already have an open source program called Photoscape I have tried to use to do simple things. It was my attempts to create simple maps which demonstrated that a simple mouse was not the tool I needed to create something that looks like a hand-drawn map.
But using the stylus and pad, I was able to make this, which my gaming groups will get to use. And I am excited![996]
