Editing tablets.
How many Hoggers use photo editing tablets? It's piqued my interest for a while now. Do they make the editing process easier? more precise?
There seems to be a big jump from $59 to over $300. I'm game to try if it would improve my editing.
I would rather stick pins in my eye that try to edit photos on a tablet.

I would be interested in hearing replies from users of graphics cards with their own display. It seems to me that would really facilitate mastering the learning curve.

While not for editing photos, some of this may be pertinent.
Back in 1988 when I first started using AutoCad for architectural and structural drawings I used a Summographics tablet, quite a bit larger than tablets for photos may be.
When I started using AutoCad 14 I did so using a mouse which I thought would be painfully slower...it wasn't.
I believe being able to keep my eyes on the monitor screen without constantly looking to the right at the tablet menu was the reason.
Food for thought.
I occasionally use one. It is better than a mouse. I sometimes wonder if a touch-screen monitor would be best.
It is not as much about using a tablet as it is about what software you have on your tablet for editing. Adobe has a Lightroom app for tablets that many love. Snapseed was partly derived from the NIK program.

I assume the OP was referring to pen tablets from the likes of Wacom, Huion, or XPPen - tablets designed for professionals and skilled amateurs to do drawing and photo editing.

I think you may be right. The OP needs to come back and clarify.

Capture One, LR and PS, to name a few, run well on iPads. And, a stylus makes editing a joy. Ignore the curmudgeons with little to do except post snarky comments that the moderators seem to ignore.

My experience also.
And today would be virtually impossible with REVIT.

Indeed computer pen tablets can be useful.
I use the Wacom Intous tablet for photo editing. Much improvement over a mouse or glide pad. Yes finer control on your edit area. Small learning curve. works great, I use it with Lightroom , PS, and even use it when surfing the web as opposed to using the mouse. I feel i get better control on my edits, where i need the tight edge. Never give up on my Wacom.

Yes, that is my topic. Appears they're not too popular.
Affinity Photo has an app for the I-pad, it's been a very popular tool for photo editing.
