Good day all you knowledgeable Hoggers.

I'm thinking about getting a tablet that will serve a dual purpose - photo editing like the Wacom or X-pen units and being able to download music for my wife when she goes to choir practice, etc.

If I were to go with the Wacom/X-pen units, will she able to go online to download her music via wifi?

On the other hand, if I were to buy a Samsung tablet/I-Pad unit, will I be able to access Lightroom/PSE and work on my pictures like I would using the Wacom/X-pen?

Hopefully you'll understand what I'm asking.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Something else to look at.

All good suggestions.

Thanks to all and keep the suggestions coming!

I'll take a look.

Thx

Again something to think about.

Sounds good. Will take a look as soon as my wife sees what other members of the choir use. Want to be sure whatever program they use will be compatible.

That would work fine, except I don't have a steady hand and the mouse is not easy to control on small areas.

Good morning all.

As you might recall, I had posed a question about a Huion tablet and after all responses, I decided the model I was looking at was not what I thought. What I really want is display tablet to which I also realized they were beyond my current budget.

So now a thought came to me. My wife is a part of a local choir and she is looking at a tablet, yet to be determined which brand/model. My quetion is this...

Let's say she settles on an I-pad or a Samsung or whatever. Can these types of pads be used to edit photos in PSE, Lightroom or whatever? In other words, what I see on my desktop monitor, can I display and edit using a pen on the display of the pad?

Just a thought.

Thanks to all who have replied and/or provided links for more information.

After reviewing the comments and links, I find that this particular model is not what I want. What I want is a, I think it's called, display tablet. Something that shows my image on the tablet so I can work directly on the area I want to adjust. The model I was looking at is a blank canvas.

I will continue looking for something within my budget or hold off until my wallet grows a bit fatter!

Again thanks to all.

I've toying with the idea of acquiring a editing tablet.

Wacom is considered the Cadillac of tablets, but is way above my budget.

While looking for an alternative, I came across the Huion HS610. The few reviews I've seen have it 4.5 stars out of 5.

Anyone have any comments, pro and con?

Jay

Thanks

Went on the X-rite website but couldn't find the programs you're referring to. Can you list the link(s) so I can see what they are.

According to ViewSonic tech support, this program is compatible with the Colormunki Display device.

I was going to try it out to see what it does in comparison to the Colormunki Display.

Thanks for the info on the Colormunki software. I'll take a look at them.

What I forgot mention is that the ViewSonic Colorbration+ software is a freebie and designed specifically for their monitors. Just looking to see if anyone is using it and what settings are being used.

Again thanks

I'm currently using the Colormunki Display calibration tool.

While searching the ViewSonic website, I saw they have a calibration program called Colorbration+.

I downloaded it and the user manual, but after reading it, my eyes glazed over.

Has anyone used this (Colorbration+) and your thoughts as compared to the Colormunki Display?

Thanks for your input.
