Which allows you to work directly on your images via a display and pressure-sensitive stylus, giving you a real-world, natural-style workflow for painting and retouching that's hard to beat. XPPen offer quality pen display drawing pad for Beginner and Professional Artists. and both of their premium lines of tablet are highly respected - Deco, their screenless tablets, and Artist, their display tablets. With a Deco, there is a hand-to-screen disconnect to get used to, moving your hand on the tablet to imitate brushstrokes while looking at your screen to see the results. The Artist line, cranks it up a notch. It's the same tablet experience, except you are drawing directly on screen. Using a Artist feels more like real drawing and painting. I have used a XPPen Artist for a number of years owning the 22″ and then the 24″. These tablets always retailed for over $1,000. I just received the new XPPen Artist 16 (2nd Generation) and it has far exceeded my expectations. The response-rate is fast, the pen tip accuracy is better, it's lightweight and it's the perfect size for me. This is my third product from XP-PEN and I am completely impressed with the brand's performance and pricing. In this Article, I'm going to look at the product more from a design perspective. Introduce XPPen Artist 16 (2nd Generation) is a 15.4" creative pen display designed to help you make your imagination come to life in rich color and sharp detail. It comes with the super responsive X3-Smart-Chip Stylus – so you can create with incredible control and high accuracy and offers the familiar feel of pen on paper with the boundless potential of digital creativity. The 2nd Generation version of the XPPen Artist 16 is a refresh of the previous generation and costs $399.99. XPPen took a lot of the feedback from users and used it to improve upon the device.

Once open, the first thing you find inside the box is the tablet. The tablet is covered in a plastic bag. This tablet also comes with Stylus, Quick Guide, 18 months warranty card in the US, 3-in-1 USB Cable, USB Extension Cable, Power Adapter, 3 Power Plug, Cleaning Cloth, Black Drawing Glove and 8 additional standard nibs. The ACS05 foldable adjustable tablet stand, Protective Case and the single USB-C to USB-C Cable are optional which not included. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the tablet and the addition items in the tablet. Design The XPPen Artist 16 (2nd Generation) includes an attractive but compact design, making it easy to incorporate the tablet into a workspace. The enclosure is machined from a solid piece of plastic, giving it a very durable and professional feel. Four gorgeous colors are available to fit your personal style: Black, blue, green, and pink. the green one is really aesthetic. There are eight shortcut buttons on the display's left side that can be programmed to carry out simple tasks. On the right side, you'll find several buttons and connectivity options. There is the power and a pair of dedicated brightness buttons starting from the top. Below are two USB-C ports connecting the pen display to the computer. Behind the tablet are 4 large rubber feet to prevent it from sliding around on table. I was a little shocked by the weight of the tablet, I figured it would be super light and slight playable which is a big plus for transport. If you're looking for a pen display to use on the go with a laptop, you should definitely check the Artist 16 (2nd Generation) out - you won't be disappointed. Connections The connections are fantastic, including USB type-c. not providing a USB-C to USB-C cable with the tablet seems like an oversight. The USB-C to USB-C cable for connection shoule be full-featured. In this case, “full-featured” means a cable that's rated for power, video, and data transfer. With the apple Macbook Pro, I can easily use the USB type-c cable to connect the XPPen Artist 16 (2nd Gen) tablet. So easy and convenient. I can also use the pen display with the desktop computer with the HDMI connection (3-in-1 cable). The included 3-in-1 cable is USB-C port on the pen display's end and has a separate HDMI and two USB-A (power and data) plugs on the other. the additional included USB extension cable can be plugged into an actual power plug. The HDMI plug and black USB Type-A plug need to be connected directly into your computer. However, the red USB Type-A plug is only used for power delivery. The USB extension power cable gets you about three extra feet of reach. If you don't have an extra USB port on your laptop, you can use a simple USB-C adapter. Driver Download and Install Once I downloaded the driver from XPPen's official site, installed, and restarted, it didn't take long at all to get started at all. The driver functions as expected, allowing pen calibration, canvas area and pen pressure customization, and setting up the dedicated shortcut buttons. Of those, we get eight on the tablet and an additional two on the pen. these buttons can be programmed to activate shortcuts and other commands. Compatibility The XPPen Artist 16 (2nd Gen) will work with pretty much any computer. It's compatible with Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux, and even Android OS. If your device has the necessary ports, you shouldn't have any issues. The same is true for your software. You can dig right in and start working in all Adobe software, GIMP, MediBang, Krita, and others. The operating systems I've tested are MacOS and Windows 11. I have seen reviews of people using this with a Android phone or another tablet out and about on the go, but I don't use it with Linux and Android devices so I can't say much. Screen Technology The XPPen Artist 16 (2nd Gen) have a beautiful, vibrant screen. which is pleasant and really smooth. This pen display uses a 15.4-inch IPS panel that supports 1920x1080 resolution. the high-definition provides outstanding clarity and color. The screen response is fantastic, thanks to it being fully laminated, eliminating any air gap between the screen and the touch-sensitive sensor. The tablet can reproduce 94% of the Adobe RGB color range, equivalent to 90% of NTSC or 127% of sRGB. It means a screen with colors you can trust compared with a regular monitor. which is an extremely useful function when you publish a lot on the internet. XPPen Artist 16 (2nd Gen)'s wide color fidelity improves a photographer's workflow and helps guarantee better results every time. Photo prints that always look right make this a photographer's favorite. Even out of the box, the colors look accurate. Of course, I recommend you calibrate the monitor before starting to work with it. I use X-Rite i1 Display to calibrate my monitors, and after the calibration, I can say that the display looks even better. The contrast and sharpness are both perfect for photo editing. It has a glossy display and, rather than an etched glass screen, but it comes with an anti-glare textured matte screen protective film. The onscreen feel is a very personal choice. the matte screen protective film makes drawing more natural and can help deal with glare issues. The Screen protector also protect screen from irreversible damage such as scratches, dings, and harsh cleaning chemicals. Stylus with X3 Smart Chip Its companion stylus, the X3 Elite, provides 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, a low activation force, and tilt recognition of even the lightest pen strokes. As with other pens in the XPPen family, you don't have to charge it. It reacts to as little as 3 grams of Initial activation force with ten times better sensitivity, so "artwork can be produced with a featherlight stroke. The nib has less retraction of about only 0.6 mm when pressed against the screen, and lines appear instantly upon the slightest touch of the surface. The pen is also very light and handles perfectly. This new X3 smart chip technology certainly makes the stylus very responsive that shows while carefully crafting sun-shadow ink line transitions or adding rapid brush strokes for color texturing. The super precise pen is combined with virtually no parallax and just enough screen resolution, allowing the artist to achieve exact line placement when needed! Drawing Performance For the past few weeks I have been using the Artist 16 (2nd Gen) Display Tablet by XP-PEN and I must say I was really impressed by the drawing experience. This product's build is elegant, The screen feels so nice to glide the pen on. There's very little parallax, and the beautiful matte etched screen protector creates a drawing experience that feels natural. It has such a high color accuracy and such good contrast that – when combined with the provided pixel density – it makes you completely forget that you're working on a screen. The tablet runs smoothly – of course this also has to do with the computer you plug it into – it has no lag, working on the screen surface is really comfortable & the pressure sensitivity is really great. Having used XPPen tablets since the 22" Artist 22 (2nd Generation), I have become used to the fluid drawing experience that the EMR (Electro Magnetic Resonance) pens provide. The pens don't have batteries and are well balanced with a comfortable feel and never need to be charged. When in Photoshop, there are so many tools that take advantage of pressure sensitivity, that I can't image drawing or retouching without one. The pen has minimal initial activation force. As long as the pen tip touches the drawing surface, even without any pressure applied, you can get a line. The pen is very sensitive at low pressure levels. Lines can transition from thin to thick and back smoothly. Curves turn smoothly. It's easy to maintain consistent pressure. Drawing performance is consistent and predictable. I did not experience any glitches with various drawing software I've tested, namely Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, Medibang Paint Pro, Clip Studio Paint and Krita. Pressure and tilt sensitivity work as expected. The overall drawing experience is excellent. Lines come out exactly the way I expect them to. The Digital Artwork made by this tablet: The shortcut buttons are such a life saver! They don't wobble, are large, and have a delightful, rubbery feel with a satisfying click when pressed.
The included Drawing Glove is made of Lycra which is an elastic material that provides comfort and flexibility, it fits my hand perfectly, keep sweat off of my tablet and help me draw smoothly. XP-PEN's attractive design and attention to detail are admirable, especially considering the company's target user base at this price point. Final Verdict XPPen Artist 16 (2nd Gen) is a good looking graphic tablet with solid build quality. I really love my new tablet so much, it has given me the ability to create the art I've always wanted. The Drawing performance is consistent and predictable, in other words, excellent. I did not encounter any glitches with the various drawing software I've tested. My overall experience is very positive. The product works as expected so this review is easy to make. The only downside is perhaps the limited number of physical shortcut buttons. If you need more than 8 buttons, you can purchase the optional XP-Pen AC19 Wireless Shortcut Remote. So if you're interested in looking to get more hands-on with your work in a digital way, with one of the best and most affordable pen tablets on the market right now I think you are really going to like this product. You can decide whether this is worth the money based on the experience I've shared. Buy it from XPPen US official store: https://www.storexppen.com/buy/artist-16-2nd.html

Drawing is a great hobby, with a drawing tablet you can sketch, draw and edit photos with a simply natural pen experience. Traditional graphics tablets come in many shapes and sizes; ranging from small graphics tablets suitable for novices and developing artists, through to large professional screen displays. One element that they all have in common however, is that most require a physical connection to a computer and monitor. Wacom and XP-Pen are positioned in the first row. You can trust in these two brands. These two brands produce the best drawing tablets, the design and build quality are awesome and all of the models offer tremendous features at a comfortable price range. You can find an affordable XP-Pen digital tablet for drawing and graphic designing at a decent price, assembled with the latest technology. Standalone Drawing devices, on the other hand, are self-sufficient and can function independently without the need of connecting to a PC/Laptop. Standalone tablets have everything packed into one – Hardware (OS, processor, RAM,Rom , etc.) and Software (the apps), making it an independent and portable device. App-based tablet with enough resources for both entertainment and professional tasks.It is now possible to use the iPad Pro, Surface Pro, Smsung Galaxy Tab.... and so on to create artwork that is good enough for production. Clearly, these tablets are costlier than the conventional ones, however, you will have a better drawing experience and a superior gadget overall. some people don’t want to spend a fortune on a drawing tablet and then carry their heavy laptop around. Advantages of Standalone Drawing Tablet Firstly, their small size means they are very portable so you can utilize them on flights, vehicles, trains and truly any place you go to. These devices are mostly entertainment units. People use them to watch videos, listen to music, read, play games, visit websites and so on apart from just drawing. they also come with a stylus (digital pen) that allows the user to create artwork with the art and design software available. You can do your drawing work directly on the standalone tablet as it has the screen and the computer into it. What to Look for When Buying a Standalone Drawing Tablet There are so many good standalone tablets out there that it was kind of difficult to pick one tablet over the other. Here's what to look out for when you're shopping around for a standalone tablet: Display size/ Type 10.5 inches is considered an ideal size for a tablet. If you get a bigger tablet you may have to compromise with portability. Similarly, if you go with a smaller screen you will not get enough area to work with. The tablet screen comes in two types – LCD and AMOLED. LCD screen mainly comes with cheaper tablets, whereas the AMOLED screens come with more expensive tablets. The AMOLED screens are considered better due to their ability to create perfect black colors which improves the overall quality of colors. AMOLED screens also consume less power, giving better battery backup. Display Quality As an artist, the display quality is crucial and should be the first thing you check before you pay for your drawing tablet. While matte screen coating effectively reduces reflections, it also makes the image quality slightly more dull and hazy. Glossy monitors, on the other hand, have a more vibrant and intense picture quality but a very reflective screen. Since neither coating is flawless, the choice mostly depends on personal preference. Resolution A monitor's resolution tells you how many pixels a monitor has in width x height format. 1920 x 1080 (also known as 1080p, Full HD (FHD) and HD) is the minimum you need. But you'll get sharper images with QHD and even sharper with 4K. Color Accuracy You want to produce high-quality images. Therefore you need to choose a tablet with high color accuracy. the two most common offered by monitors being sRGB and Adobe RGB. the Adobe RGB color space was designed to encompass real-world colors on a display for reproducing in print. sRGB was designed as a lowest-common-denominator standard for colors used by typical consumer monitors viewing the web. Most monitors allow you to switch between the two, along with other colour modes such as B&W, which is useful as long as you lock the screen to Adobe RGB for creative work. Screen Sensitivity The screen sensitivity is a critical factor for any digital drawing tablet. when you apply pressure on the pen while drawing, it will render a thicker line. High pressure sensitivity will allow you to sketch, shade, and draw accurate designs. Note that the tablets with 2048 pressure levels capture more information than those with 1024 pressure levels. The best drawing tablets will capture every detail for you. Some models even have advanced features like tilt recognition and multi-touch capability. Stylus Type Some stylus is active stylus whereas others are passive stylus. The active stylus has batteries inside which needs to be charged. The passive stylus does not need to be charged and needs no maintenance. Ideally, you want a passive pen where no charging is required – but the active stylus battery can last weeks on a single charge. Regardless of which type you get you'll be able to draw all the same. Just make sure the tablet you choose has a comfortable stylus that fits well in your hand. It should be easy to grip and hold so that it won't slip if you're drawing for hours on end. Battery Life You want long battery life so that you work from anywhere on your tablet. You don't want the battery to run out when you're not near a power source. So, look for digital devices that offer 10+ hours of battery life on a full charge. Battery life will vary based on several factors including how you're using the tablet, the age of the battery, and even the weather outside. Nothing perfect here but it's good to at least have an idea of the tablet's total expected battery life on a single charge. Lightweight and Portable A standalone tablet should be lightweight and slim so that you can take it anywhere. You don't want a bulky device weighing you down when you're on the move. Operating system The operating system running on these devices determines the choices of drawing applications. These devices come with either Android, iPadOS, or Windows operating systems, all of which have great collection of drawing apps to choose from. you can simply go to the app store and find plenty of paid as well as free drawing applications. Capable of Running Graphics Programs At the same time, the best standalone drawing tablets won't skimp on power and performance. the faster and the better a processor is, the more power it consumes, which means that processor speed can directly influence battery life and dictate a tablet's price. Look for at least 8GB of RAM. Then, you'll know that the device can handle intensive graphics programs. While you're checking the specs, look up how much storage space it offers, too! Price You have to consider your budget when buying a standalone tablet. So you'll be happy to hear that there's the right tablet for everyone. You can find very affordable standalone drawing tablets nowadays. Just be prepared that they will offer less advanced features as a trade-off. Available Models So, in view of the advantages offered by these devices, let's see what are the best tablets with stylus that you can find on the market. In addition, to make things easy for you, we have prepared this top with models of different price ranges, so that you can find the device that best fits your pocket. Below's a non-exhaustive list of some of the best standalone tablets for graphic designers and artists: 1. Apple iPad Pro When it comes to finding a standalone drawing tablet that you can take with you on the go, one of the best options you can go for is an iPad Pro. Available in two different sizes, 11 inches as well as 12.9 inches, it offers a large drawing space to satisfy any artistic needs. With the iPad Pro, you are getting a Liquid Retina display with ProMotion technology. In other words, the display has amazing sharpness and brightness that make the colors feel pretty accurate.

With this Microsoft Surface Pro 7, you can do a whole lot of things from drawing, writing, play and work without any hassles. We love the most about Microsoft Surface Pro 7 because there are different options for you to choose from when it comes to configuration, from storage to the processor and even RAM. The only cons that this device face is that its display quality isn't as good as its market contenders. The stylus pen ( purchased separately ) of Microsoft Surface Pro has tilt and pressure sensitivity ( 4000 levels ). It also has a rubber tip that is easy to work with and grips the glass screen giving you an awesome drawing experience. On the device itself, there are magnets on the side that will hold your Surface pen when you are done using it, or you are having a break from drawing. It has a built-in tablet stand with which you can adjust in whatever position you want. There are other optional accessories you can get, but the one which adds most to the cool factor of the Microsoft Surface Pro is the Type Cover, a magnetic keyboard which works beautifully, has back lit keys and a big track pad, and protects the Microsoft Surface Pro's surface. And since this is a Windows tab, there is a bunch of software you can use for drawing – 3D drawing, animation – anything that runs on the Windows operating system will work on the Microsoft Surface Pro 7. it runs full versions of all PC art programs – not abbreviated versions like on the iPad or Android tablets. As such, it allows you to work anywhere and any time, and take your work to a fully realized and fully professional final version, providing awesome drawing experience. 3.

The battery-free pen doesn't need to be charged. If you think about it, you don't have to worry your pen will run out of battery while you are concentrating on your drawings. The express keys, controls, and time-saving features increase productivity even further especially for beginner drawing artists. With the Mobile Studio Pro, you get a full-fledged Windows 10 OS machine, on which you can run any new professional drawing applications. Battery life sticks out like a sore thumb, with an average work time of 3-4 hours after a full charge. This doesn't make it suitable for traveling unless you have ports to plug in. This is probably the most expensive standalone drawing tablet you will find in the market today. But if you want Wacom's technology in a standalone device, you might want to make the investment. 4.

Active Area The biggest selling point of tablets for osu! is this absolute tracking. so the size of the tablet has a big effect on the gameplay. In this respect, the smaller the device, the faster you can reposition your hand and score additional points. but if too small you will lose accuracy. with large tablets, you will have to flick your arm too much which is not only tiring but also not good for your wrist. also the more time is spent. So, the smaller active area is better for Osu drawing tablets , it can definitely save your few milliseconds. 2. Report Rate The Report Rate is a very important factor for OSU gameplay. Because it is responsible for the response time of the tablet – higher is better. Basically, how many times per second the tablet sends information about the stylus position & pressure to the computer is called report rate. It is measured in the Report Per Second. Usually, above 200+ RPS is ideal for OSU. Some of the players recommend using the Hawku tablet driver which increases its response time. the Hawku tablet drivers improve every tablet if it supports it so be sure to get it! 3. Connectivity The wired connection is always better than the wireless in terms of reliability. In the OSU gameplay, a millisecond interruption can ruin your whole gaming progress, and we can't get this risk. 4. Resolution The resolution is about the accuracy the higher resolution is always better. But you don't have to worry about that, because I have never seen a tablet with bad accuracy, you would find your cursor at the position where you would expect it to be. At any rate, whether you get a professional tablet or the most affordable one, your results will noticeably improve over what you could do with a mouse. 5. Pen Type What really matters here is the type of pen. For successful gameplay, you really want to get the stylus that is battery-free. Opt for the EMR type because it is very precise and spares you from the inconveniences of charging. If you don't, you will experience some issues as the battery drains. You might even lose a great result when the pen suddenly discharges in the middle of the game. Don't overlook the pen build and design, too. It should also be comfortable to hold and durable. You don't want to mess up the game because of a slip of the pen! 6. Tablet Buttons When you use a tablet to play OSU, you won't need any buttons or extra features. You don't want to worry about pressing buttons without meaning to. That's why it's best to go for a streamlined tablet without lots of buttons and extra features. But You can also choose disable the buttons on tablets. 7. Versatility just use the drawing tablet for playing OSU? Or will you also use the tablet for illustration , online teaching and graphic design? Your needs will dictate which tablet you buy and what features are essential. 8. Hover or Drag It's really preference, hovering is faster while dragging is more stable/accurate, I personally drag. That doesn't mean a person that hovers can't be accurate or a person that drags can't aim fast, if you stick to hovering or dragging you'll probably make the downsides almost negligible. Try both. Just use the style that is most comfortable for you Tablet Vendors Wacom needs no introduction. The Japanese behemoth is considered to be the pioneer of drawing tablets. Their only pain point is their pricing: Wacom tablets tend to be more expensive, than other options such as XP-Pen, Huion.... XP-Pen is a tablet company that has been around since 2005. XP-PEN graphics tablets are actually good though. They may not be as nice as Wacom tablets but they have good specs and decent build quality. Their tablet pens neither require a battery nor needs to be charged, just like Wacom tablet pens, and come with more Quantity of nibs than Wacom. Given the price I think it's the only cheap Chinese tablet brand that's actually worth buying. They've also built up a pretty solid reputation in the Osu community, especially the Star g640. Not just Osu! but digital artists will be fairly familiar with the name XP-Pen. After all, most of the users newly stepping into the tablet realm start their journey with XP-Pen tablets. The tablet manufacturer's tend to just make tablets for digital writing and drawing and they simply slap the title "Osu" on it to sell a few more units. So when making a decision, don't make it based on the Osu in the name. Look at the size, the RPS, resolution and activation height. Osu! Graphics Tablet Recommendation 1. XP-Pen Star G430S / Star G640 Easy to recommend because of the "lower" price and thinness ( only 2 mm thick ) . Not a lot of input lag and good design. XP-Pen Star G430S / Star G640 comes with a active area of 4 x 3 inches / 6 x 4 inches which is slightly smaller than other tablets and a great option if you play on a smaller display device such as a laptop. There are several other cheaper options available in the market but this tablet has a nice blend of price and features making it one of the best options for beginner OSU players. The included stylus has fast-tracking with 266 RPS (Reports Per Second) and pressure sensitivity of 8192 levels which can be handy if you want to try your hands in graphic design and making custom OSU skins. The Pen is battery-free and lightweight making it a better choice for long OSU sessions. People do mention the pen tends to slip so might wanna get rubber bands, blu tack or silicon pen grips. Don't buy the wrong one. choose the Star G640 Rev A (MAX 266 RPS for OSU Game Play). Rev B is Chromebook Supported for online teaching but have some lag when playing Osu!. 2. XP-Pen Deco Fun XS / S XP-Pen Deco Fun Available in three sizes tracking area– XS ( 4.8 x 3 inches ) , S ( 6.3 x 4 inches ) and L ( 10 x 6.27 inches ) plus in four colour variants of Classic Black, Space Blue, Carmine Red and Apple Green.

The size of this tab is more than enough for not just Osu! but graphical arts enthusiasts as well.
The surface gives off the same highly durable and responsive feel as the Wacom one. the rubber grips on the bottom sides of the stylus for a more refined grip. the build quality of the stylus feels genuinely well made so durability is not a problem. Moreover, the stylus has quite a significant hovering distance so that is sure to come in handy as well. XP-Pen Deco Mini 7 supports tilt senstivity ( Deco mini4 does not). this is very good for drawing so if you wanna draw yes.

This tablet also comes in a wireless variant called XP-Pen Deco Mini7w, which is very similar in looks and features. Conclusion if you are going to use your tablet only for OSU playing then you can pick any one of these according to your budget. Actually you can get cheaper tablet if its purpose only for OSU.You don't need wide size & the high pressure to fully enjoy the game. But if you also want to use your tablet for drawing purpose then going with the cheaper tablet is not a good idea. but if you just need something for beginner level then these are also not bad as well. It'll definitely be a good experience if you use a pen pad. But what's more important is your skill and how you decide to practice. Thank you very much, have a great day! Difference between the Android drawing tablet and a graphics tablet? tablets, smartphones, and digital notebooks have opened up a whole new way of interacting with digital devices. A normal graphics tablet is a plastic pad that comes with a pen stylus. They're designed for artists to draw directly onto a computer. the type of Pen Display Monitor are more expensive than graphic tablets. Here, you draw with a stylus on the PC or Mac screen itself. This gives a better experience and is more practical. graphics tablets are pressure sensitive. The tablet is mapped to your screen for position, but also works on the angle of the pen, the pressure applied, and when available, individual pens can be recognized as separate tools, ie airbrush, pencil and paintbrush. graphic tablet ( like Wacom , XP-Pen ....) are imo still king when it comes to the most natural feel of drawing on a digital device. a graphics tablet could make your work a good deal easier and a lot more fun. A stylus offers a more natural way to draw, paint and retouch than a mouse could ever provide. graphics tablets can be different from the more common kind of standalone Android drawing tablet, like the Samsung Galaxy or Lenovo Smart Tab series tablet, which look and feel like large smartphones. graphics tablets are specifically designed as drawing surfaces, and many of them don't have display screens at all. The simplest versions are large, black touchpad surfaces that work more like a laptop trackpad. Users wield a stylus to draw on their surfaces like a piece of digital paper. the biggest difference between an android drawing tablet and a graphics tablet, is that an Android drawing tablet is standalone, while a graphics tablet is basically just an accessory. The Android drawing tablet comes equipped with a screen, the software support, and even the stylus in some cases, which means you can work on it directly. You can also use it for other purposes such as browsing the internet. Whereas, the graphics tablet needs to plugged into a computer for you to use it, and while some professionals recommend a graphics tablet for more accurate sketching, it offers little to no portability. but the drawing experience is better than android drawing tablet especially the pen display monitor such as wacom cntiq or xp-pen artist. also there are more windows /mac os digital art programs to select than Android OS. XP-PEN Drawing Tablets Compatible and working on Android Devices XP-Pen is one of the leading manufacturer of graphics tablets, interactive pen displays, and other intuitive interface devices. the stylus pens of XP-Pen are battery-free, super lightweight; Provides best pressure sensitivity. It's like using a real pencil. XP-Pen itself has different types ( from non-screen to built in screen ) for different purpose of draw. perfect for beginner and professional digital artists looking for a reliable graphics tablet that will last for years. Still drawing by finger with your smartphone ? you can now sketch and draw with your XP-Pen drawing tablet whenever and wherever your creative inspiration hits. some of the xp-pen Star/Deco models ( below have a list of the models ) is now compatible with select Android smartphones and tablets using Android OS ( needs version 6.0 or later). Being able to connect to an Android system is an interesting feature. That means you can use it without a computer or laptop. On a travel, you just take your phone and graphic tablet, then you can enjoy digital drawing. If you do want to draw on an Android device with a tablet, now you can. How to connect XP-Pen graphic tablet to Android In order to connect your XP-Pen drawing tablet with your Android device, you need a special adapter called a USB OTG connector. your phone or tablet should have OTG function. OTG is short for USB On-The-Go. With a USB OTG cable to connect your phone to a graphics tablet, you can use your smartphone as a computer. The easiest way to know whether your phone or tablet supports USB OTG is to look at the package box the phone comes in, or the manufacturer's website. You'll see a logo , or USB OTG listed in the specifications. Normally, the OTG function has already been enabled by default on your phone or tablet. But some devices need you to enable it. To enable the OTG function, please go to Settings> Storage or Connectivity> find the OTG connection or USB and enable it. XP-PEN offers two types of OTG adapters for graphics tablet in the package. They are USB type C to USB adapter and Micro USB to USB adapter. Choose the right OTG adapter, depending on the USB port type of your phone or tablet. and then Connect the pen tablet to your phone or tablet .After it enters OTG Mode, you can cooperate the phone by using the digital pen on tablet. No driver installation is required. It's plug and play. When the pen hovers over the active area, a cursor will appear on the screen. Because there is no driver for Android, there's also no customisation for any of the shortcut buttons and pressure sensitivity. Normally, OTG Mode has already been enabled by default on your phone or tablet. Once XP-Pen drawing tablet is connected to your phone or tablet, it will enter OTG Mode automatically. Under OTG Mode, the pen pressure is determined by the drawing application itself. Disable the rotate screen function and make sure the Android smartphone or tablet remain vertical. Under OTG Mode, the pen pressure is determined by the drawing application itself. When the drawing application has pen pressure, so does the digital pen. When it doesn't have pen pressure function, so doesn't the digital pen. Therefore, it's better to get a drawing application with pen pressure function.

I write about art resources and tutorials and I think letting more people know about free art programs decreases the barrier to entry in the creative fields, so here is the full text from a round up on free art programs. Let me know in the comments if you have a favorite you'd like me to add! Hope this helps somebody! Paid software often is the industry standard and there are many amazing options there too. Out of the plethora of free digital art software available, these are my favorite picks for free drawing software, including a few open source digital art software projects. What Is the best digital art program to start with? The question everyone seems to have an opinion about, but instead of opinions let me give you one well known fact, digital drawing software tends to be super complicated :open up Adobe Photoshop for the first time and you will have no idea what to do because there are just too many choices, most of which are btw completely irrelevant to a digital artist, especially a beginner. Krita, a commonly recommended starter software that I myself in fact started with, has the same issue and corel painter is certainly no easier. Medibang and firealpaca are also quite bloated with features but not as far gone as these others I've named. I've tried almost all digital painting software I could find on the internet, so with that said here are my winners for best beginner software, and my logic for recommending them. I can name some really-well known ones and I'll say my own personal opinion about them. 7 Best Digital Painting and Drawing Software 1. Paint Tool SAI Works on: Windows Only | Price: $50~ Personal opinion: The most beginner friendly general purpose painting software with a bite stronger than it's bark. Also possibly the most lightweight painting software . I know it's not exactly dirt cheap (pretty cheap though) but trust me when I say that for a beginner this is a worthwhile investment if only to streamline your learning experience and ease you more gently into the digital drawing experience. The reason I recommend this as the ultimate software for a beginner digital artist is simplicity, this program is very much straight to the point and doesn't have any features or weird unexpected buttons you won't know what to do with. the entire program is centered around painting and only painting and doesn't allow itself to get bogged down or overcomplicated by including features that not everyone would use, it has a clean and simple, intuitive user interface, making it easier to learn than all other digital painting software of comparable capabilities. there are many great artists who use this software professionally so don't be fooled into thinking it's only purpose is to be your training wheels, you could end up loving it for decades . It also helps that it's cheap with a 1 time payment of $50~ as opposed to say $10 a month for photoshop which would fast accumulate to $120 per year. This program has a simple, to the point user interface, simple yet solid and fast brush engine, it is tried and tested, has been around and loved by it's users for years, it is lightweight and feature complete, it is the perfect starting point for any first time digital artist. 2. MyPaint Works on: Linux, Windows and MacOS | Price: Free And Open Source! Probably the most grounded in simplicity from the first line of code to the last, this program was made with beginners in mind and many advanced artists swear by it as their go to tool for quick painting and sketching purposes. MyPaint is a bit of an underdog, I've seen a handful of people swear by it and at a glance after you first open it it would seem like it's simpler than the above two... But it has a major flaw, the default UI setup is ridiculous, so unless you have the patience and know-how (e.g. to know that this is what you want) to set it up something like this yourself manually, this is one of those programs where you will just open it up and have no freakin idea what to do not because there are too many buttons, but because there are too few . I also noticed that the download links can be a bit wonky and you have to manually select the 32 bit or 64 bit installers when you download (if in doubt, select the 64 bit/w64 ). This program is perhaps the only one that was effectively designed in such a way that you can just open it up and paint, no hassle, from the moment you open it you have an infinite size canvas to work with, in other words you don't have to worry about setting your canvas size, it's already "as big as you need" without getting into any technical details :la: and I find that neat. It's really not that hard to set up, in fact I'll walk you through it. Open the "Window" menu at the titlebar Now click the following in this order: Preview Panel Color Adjusters -> HSV Square Layers Panel Brush Groups -> Classic Tool Options Panel If everything goes well, the first 3 should be on the right side of the screen and the last 2 on the left side and now you have a perfectly solid UI. If however something went wrong, you can drag these panels around by clicking and holding the icon in their upper-left corner . After setting this up and playing with the classic brushes you can start exploring more of the program and set up things like the "Favorites" Brush Group, creating your own Brush Groups and even creating your own brushes : just make sure you always select the "Freehand Drawing Tool" (aka brush tool) in the top menu bar. Also be careful not to go too crazy on the zooming out, you'll end up with a humongous file hehe Sweating a little... (takes forever to save, and brushes will get slower if you make them too huge; note that this issue affects all software, not just MyPaint ). 3. Medibang Paint or FireAlpaca Works on: Linux, Windows and MacOS | Price: Free While the UI design could be better, these programs are very well rounded general purpose drawing software with a very to-the-point feature kit and a hard to beat $0 pricetag! MediBang is a relatively recent addition to the free software list, it started out originally as a program called OpenCanvas, MediBang as well as FireAlpaca and Jump Paint (a medibang derivative) are all effectively just 'lite' versions of OpenCanvas. FireAlpaca has animation support while medibang has some manga-creation features instead and Jump Paint is a customized version of medibang tailored towards mangaka and also has lessons on how to create pro quality manga by JUMP's editorial department : so if that's something you want then yeah, maybe go for Jump Paint instead of MediBang, that's bound to be some valuable data for you . MediBang and FireAlpaca don't do as good a job of being simple and to the point as my former 3 mentions, I'd say their UIs are rather unintuitive in comparison, but it's certainly simpler than most other alternatives, so there's that. MediBang or FireAlpaca would be a good starting points but their learning curve is steeper than of the above programs , and not due to how many more features it has but more due to poor design choices. however on an Android Tablet PC MediBang may possibly be the best choice you have, the only other option I know of would be (Corel) Painter Mobile (which is free but you need to pay a little for their brush engines, which is kinda retarded since it's the main part of the program but it was pretty cheap so meh, I really really liked painter mobile's sketch brush engine ) but MediBang is still a very sold program. So is FireAlpaca and I assume so is Jump Paint but the full experience is only available in OpenCanvas .what a confusing series of programs. 4. Krita Works on: Linux, Windows and MacOS | Price: Free And Open Source! The current king of free painting software, it is by far the most feature rich free painting software, it's open source, and does it's best to compete not only with photoshop but also corel painter, it sadly does not fully beat either of them at their own game, but instead it beats both by offering features that corel painter doesn't and offering brush engines of superior versatility to Photoshop's. This program has room to grow and there's no telling if in a few years it'll be the next digital painting behemoth, or the next digital painting vaporware. It could afford to be more noob friendly though and lacks the capabilities to do clean rendering . I used Krita because as a painter I preferred it over photoshop : but ultimately found some problems in how it handles soft brushes and blending with them . Krita will again be a solid alternative for me, and even without this, for rough painted looking styles Krita is rock solid, and no program besides photoshop that I'm aware of can beat Krita in post processing and image manipulation tasks. so Krita is undoubtedly one of Photoshop's by far strongest competitors. if none of the previously mentioned programs sounded like a very good fit, either you need to look at vector illustration software or this is probably the right fit for you. It has many cool brush engines but overall I'd say nothing that really stands out (it's sketching brush engine is sublime tho) compared to formerly mentioned software. Krita also has animation support and some minimal vector drawing capabilities as well as some manga/comic illustration features, besides photoshop it's basically the only "all-in-one" package software, and... it's free! It's loaded to the brim with awesome features but it is definitely not noob friendly, so unless you have a background in Photoshop or GIMP, there is going to be some degree of learning curve here. 5. Adobe Photoshop CC Price: $10+ per month/$120+ per year | Works on: Windows and MacOS There are two quite heavily disputed champions leading the industry of digital artwork, those are Corel Painter and Adobe Photoshop. In my personal opinion the only one of the two that deserves to be called a champion of anything when it comes to digital art is Corel Painter, but nontheless I can't argue with the general consensus too much about photoshop's less disputed dominance over the market. The best image editor, photomanipulation and post-processing software but with lackluster painting capabilities for it's price (it's brush engine while pretty nicely optimized, has too few customization options in my opinion). Probably the most widely recommended digital painting capable software on the entire internet, used by professionals all around the world, personally I preferred Krita as while Photoshop's brush engine may be better optimized it's also less feature rich. But photoshop has reigned supreme since the 90s for a reason, even if that reason may only be because it reigned supreme in the 90s, it is however the completely undisputed champion of photo editing and manipulation . and many photomanipulation and post-processing techniques that are often more easily achievable in photoshop than rivaling applications are indeed potentially useful for many of the more advanced digital artists, which is why a lot of artists end up working with 2 programs, i.e. their favorite painting application (commonly this is corel painter) and after finishing up there they copy the image to photoshop for post-processing and final refinement . but there's no denying that this program is quite expensive in the long run. However there's also no denying that this is the most tried and tested program and most professionals by far use it, so you can't go wrong with this program as an intermediate-advanced digital artist, that's for sure. 6. Corel Painter Price: Over $430 + $200 yearly for updates (Has Free Trial)| Works on: Windows and MacOS The most expensive digital painting program there is, also quite possibly the best program ever for digital painting, with multiple super advanced brush engines, you can usually find a way to make the brushes behave exactly how you want in this program which is the key to any digital painter's ultimate success. Is it just me or is that price so stuck in 2001 that no sane person that's not already a regular customer would EVER buy it in the modern market? Even Adobe upgraded their pricing strategy, but here corel sits stuck with it's head up it's ass thinking it's still the only program in the world competing for the "professional digital painter" title, which given the large list of programs both above and below this line is obviously not the case Disbelief . But there's a reason for this price because even if this may no longer be the case, ever since the freaking 90s up until the mid 2000s this was indeed the one and only program professional grade software targeting digital artists in the whole god damn world . the only digital painting program besides photoshop (and maybe the now pretty much dead GIMP) worth taking seriously. But unlike photoshop they weren't having any of that "image manipulation" bullshit, no their goal was to create a real, lifelike painting experience in the digital space and they got pretty damn close, with probably the best collection of brush engines the world has ever seen . this digital painting software is an industry standard for a good damn reason. this may very well be the best digital painter's software on the market, But Corel needs to get with the times or get lost in my opinion. 7. Clip Studio Paint Works on: Windows and MacOS | Price: $50/$220 Simple and elegant, quite likely the best software for manga and comic book creation, and painting in simple/cel shaded styles. Previously known as manga studio, this little gem woulda probably made my top beginner friendly software list if it wasn't for it's manga drawing specialization.This software is as I just implied quite simple and elegant at first glance, instead of having one main general purpose brush engine like most, it has 7 different brush engines for different brush types (from watercolor and airbrush to pencil and special effects) all in the same simplicity tier as SAI. this oftware seems to be more strongly marketed in Japan is the only truly professional class manga illustration software, it does that job and it does it really, really, really well, so if that is your thing, this is quite possibly THE best software for you . and as it is really simple, you can also happily use it as your first software. my main reason for not putting it up at the top are it's plethora of manga/comic book creation features, it's animation support, and confusing pricing strategy. It is also all around quite feature rich compared to my first 3 recommended for beginner programs, but makes up for it by having a very elegant UI design making it a solid 5th place for most beginner friendly software. This program does everything it claims to do exceptionally well and is best for manga and comic book creation and works super well for cel-shaded (simple) drawing styles. The clip studio paint EX version has some unique features including Animation, 2D to 3D conversion, multi-page management and multi-page files. It also costs like one kidney, but the pro version is quite affordable. The Others ArtRage (A program that like corel painter tries to emulate the feel of painting with rl brushes, omitted due to the imo slightly unreasonable asking price of $80). Autodesk Sketchbook Pro (Costs $30 per year which is fairly affordable, I tried it but was ultimately unmipressed due to the programs complete lack of capability for working at high/custom resolutions. It is very simple, but as the name implies, it's decent as a sketching program and nothing more, I would have liked to expect more from a company like Autodesk. While some artists have managed to make quite impressive looking work in it, it seems ultimately unable to produce production quality work.). GIMP (free, omitted because krita basically does everything GIMP does better than GIMP does it, Krita started out as a rework of the gimp but grew fast into it's own separate, and superior program). Conclusion And that's it for digital painting software may you test everything and choose wisely. If I forgot your favorite program make sure to tell me which one that is in the comments . If you want to work with photoshop / Corel Painter etc. I'd recommend the XP-Pen Innovator 16 Best Drawing Tablet With Screen 15.6inch , however you will need a pc/laptop with good specs.
I just got the xp-pen drawing tablet monitor a few days ago. I can already tell I am going to love it! I kept going back and forth between getting it or not, but I am glad I finally decided to just invest in it. In my opinion: Quick and easy to use. Like a digital sketchbook. You can draw on screen. The pen-pressure is awesome. You can draw in incredible details. Both the XP-Pen Artist Pro Series and Innovator 16 are within my price range, and although I am not a professional artist and have no plans to make any money off my art, I'm concerned that I may feel that the XP-Pen Drawing Display is a downgrade. And that's it for digital painting software may you test everything and choose wisely. If I forgot your favorite program make sure to tell me which one that is in the comments . Hope that helps! For less than $50, XP-Pen proves you don't get what you pay for- sometimes you get a lot more. For the graphic drawing tablet , I use a XP-Pen, they are fairly inexpensive and work pretty well for a beginner-medium level digital artists. I'll link a few, and if you want I can tell you about the specific one I have which is the XP-Pen Deco Fun Large. First impressions With offices closed and remote working the way forward; a lot of us have set up offices at home. Desk space is at a premium, so the more compact the better. With Their XP-Pen Deco Fun L, XP-Pen has managed to distil the responsive, pen and paper feel of their most expensive models to a drawing tray the size of an A4 piece of paper. Most of the tray is tactile drawing area, so no space is wasted. The result translates well on both a laptop screen, or a 4k monitor. Add to that the pressure sensitive nib, and you have immediate control over your lines. The pen itself is responsive- giving immediate feedback in Photoshop, Kirita or even MyPaint. As well as that, the pen does not need charging or batteries ( it's electromagnetic) so you just need to plug in the tablet itself and download the drivers. Getting Started USB cable is included in the box. One meter long, it will work with most set ups, though those with a computer under the desk, or further from their work station may need to buy a longer one. Compatible with PC: Windows 7, 8.1 and 10, Mac: OS X 10.10, it should run on any home PC with a USB-A port. The majority of computers will install them immediately ( so long as they have an internet connection). Download and install the latest driver from XP-Pen's site here ( https://www.xp-pen.com ). The provided software is easy to install and configuration of the tablet and pen and can easily be reached from the Control Panel. Reliability of the software and drivers was never a problem and always worked as desired. The tablet and pen are fully configurable and functional well with the newest version of Photoshop CC . The Feel The surface is smooth, with the same feel as paper, and the small surface means you can fill the screen quickly with just a flick of the wrist. The smooth feel does not last as long as we'd like. Repeated sketching and scribbling can lead to scuffs on the pad after only a few hours. Those who like to press hard with their mark making or shade the same area over and over may find more wear. While these scuffs have little or no effect on the tablet's sensitivity, they impact how it feels to draw on and it can get a little scratchy in areas. The pen is more resilient- and the nib should last around 2-3 years with repeated use. As the pack comes with ten replacement nibs, these should see you through the lifetime of the tablet. ( Unless you nibble or sit on it.) The tablet can be used as a touchpad in place of a mouse. You can rotate, scroll, zoom, click on stuff, right click by tapping with two fingers. Comparison XP-Pen Deco mini 7 Tablet (Size: 7 x 4.37 inches working area ) - $50 The size is larger than Deco Mini7, though not necessarily better, alternative. As responsive as the XP-Pen Deco Fun L, and as just as prone to scuffing, the only real difference we noticed was the size. For those who draw with wide brush strokes, this may suit them better. It isn't the perfect fit for everyone- as it dominates more desk space, and requires whole arm movements rather than wrist. XP-Pen Deco Pro Medium Tablet (Size: 11 x 6 inch drawing area) - $99.99 At almost $99.99- nearly 2 times the price of the XP-Pen Deco Fun L, the Deco pro needs something special. 60 degrees of Tilt sensitive, 8192 pressure levels, it offers a different experience.
It has more friction than the XP-Pen Deco Fun L, thus more response and pressure sensitivity, but also wears your pen nibs faster. In general, the XP-Pen Deco Fun L is the most economic all-rounder, and stands proud at the front of XP-Pen's product line. Pros: Smooth Surface (at least to begin with.) Large surface for drawing. easy to fit on desk. Good pen tracking and sensitivity. Compatible with most computers and operating systems. No charging or battery replacements needed. Cons: Surface gets scuffed easily with use. USB cable may be too short for some. Internet connection needed for drivers. Conclusion Overall this tablet is fun to use and works well. It's nice to see XP-Pen continue creating great quality products. With the new tablet the need for a mouse and keyboard is further reduced and I feel I gain further efficiencies in my Photoshop editing workflow by not having to reach for the keyboard as much and the mouse is never needed.

Top Photo Editing Software for PC and Mac from Beginners to Pro 1. Adobe Photoshop CC Platforms: Windows,MacOS | Price: Paid At the very top end of image editing is Photoshop, which has no real rival. It is one of the most popular photo editing software tools on the market. Photoshop is the primary tool for its legions of fans across the world, including designers, artists, and illustrators. Its layering, masking and retouching tools still set the standard by which others are judged, while the power of its layer-based editing system can handle the most complex of creative projects. Anyone who knows anything about photo editing and graphic design will have used one of the various Adobe Photoshop versions. Photoshop offers similar tools to any other software in this realm, but to the nth degree – there are often several ways for performing the same function in Photoshop, be it changing a background colour, cloning elements, frequency separation, or any of the myriad other photo editing tasks. Then there are the special effects and healing tools that only Photoshop can accomplish – AI-assisted tools like content-aware scale and fill . Being able to recreate a scene that doesn't already digitally exist is a powerful feature for photographers . This latest version increasingly relies on Sensei, Adobe's highly touted artificial intelligence engine, to facilitate a host of impressive features. The most high-profile of these include Sky Replacement, new Refine Edge selections. Plus, Neural Filters help simplify complex workflows. Even though Photoshop can be difficult to master, it's not necessarily difficult to learn. It's pre-made workspaces, in-app tools descriptions and clear tools icons help make learning the program more manageable. Don't try to dive in all at once! A piece-by-piece approach to Photoshop will likely be the more successful route. Adobe Photoshop CC is available only as a subscription service .For $10 per month, you get the Photography plan, which offers Photoshop, Lightroom and Lightroom CC for the desktop and 20GB of online storage. For $20 per month you get the same Photography Plan with 1TB of online storage. If you're wondering why Adobe has two lots of photo-editing software on the market, it's because they do different things. Lightroom is mainly a RAW developer and photo organising tool, while Photoshop is the software that you will need for more complex adjustments, working on layers, masks and channels. There are no image browsing or cataloguing tools in Photoshop itself, but since Lightroom is included in the same Photography Plans as Photoshop, that's not an issue. On its own, Photoshop is powerful but limited; with Adobe Lightroom it's half of the world's most popular image editing double-act. 2. Adobe Lightroom Platforms: Windows,MacOS | Price: Paid Adobe Lightroom is another powerful editing software by Adobe. Ideally, it is perfect for photographers who want a more straightforward yet capable tool to edit their images. Lightroom is an all-in-one image cataloguing, raw-processing and editing program and the perfect partner for Photoshop. If your main work is photo enhancement rather than manipulation, you might not need Photoshop at all. Unlike Photoshop's complicated and intimidating user interface, both Lightroom Classic and CC offer a more intuitive and user-friendly interface for image editing. Some of its excellent features include: customizable sliders, gradient and brush adjustments, presets, blurring tools and other professional filters. Plus, you can use it with multiple devices and to help you keep your photos organized it uses face detection. All things considered, with this wide range of functional features and its easy-to-use interface, you can create just as remarkable photos with Lightroom. Lightroom have a library of pre-made editing solutions called presets. These presets make it easier than ever to achieve a specific look in your photos. Simply find a preset package you like via Lightroom's preset marketplace or online, then apply it to one or more of your images for a flawless edit. Of course, presets work wonderfully for batch editing your photos at a break-neck pace. And, you can even design your own custom presets. With Lightroom's presets, you have the opportunity to continually expand the software's editing capabilities. Not to mention, many third-party plugins and applications have integrated with Lightroom to make using the program even easier. Envira Gallery, for example, includes Adobe Lightroom to WordPress integration that allows you to easily sync your Lightroom photo galleries with your photography website. Another great thing about Adobe Lightroom, that many people praise it for, is the organizing capability it offers – you can add tags and sort your photos in your own style. Unlike Photoshop, Lightroom is built to handle entire photo collections at once. You can import, sort, and edit your files all within the same simple interface. Lightroom is the fact that it supports nearly all formats of RAW files, no matter the camera you're using, so this can be a factor to consider when choosing one of these tools. Lightroom is one of the best photo editing software for pc that allows you to retouch full resolution images. This tool allows you to view, download, or add photos on the web. It offers a wide range of layouts. 3. Corel PaintShop Pro Platforms: Windows | Price: Paid Corel PaintShop Pro is a capable and one of the most inexpensive photo editing software tools out there. Some photographers call it an Adobe Photoshop alternative, but it lacks Photoshop's most advanced flagship features, including Camera Shake Reduction, 3D modeling, Faces Liquefy, detailed typography, among others. Photographers who value simplicity will really like Corel PaintShop Pro . That being said, do not let its simple approach to photo editing fool you as it does not make its editing capability any less effective. This software boasts everything you require to enhance your pics from AI enhanced presets to graphic design templates to options such as blur and fix. Plus, if the wide range of brushes, color palettes , textures and backgrounds do not float your boat, do not dismiss the software just yet as brand new features are being added continuously. Now boasting numerous powerful AI-Powered tools that go well beyond free Photoshop alternatives, PsP has become a fully-featured graphics manipulation tool that provides excellent value for money. In many ways, Corel PaintShop Pro is a powerful program, and It's easy for novices to grasp, and has some additional tools, such as 360-degree photo editing. It's also touch-screen compatible and has a new streamlined workspace. Corel has even made the tool icons large and distinct so that they're easy to select on a touch device. You can preview, organise, and streamline your photo editing workflow in the Manage workspace, which also allows you to add keyword tags to your photos, create catalogues, make batch edits to multiple images at once, and review metadata and file information. If you need to extend its capabilities, Paintshop Pro supports various 64-bit plugins from Adobe, Topaz Labs, Nik Collection by DXO and many more. You can even import and export PSD files to work across platforms. PaintShop Pro is a fantastic option that represents a unique amalgamation of Lightroom and Photoshop in one. Like some other software, it requires a one-time fee, which starts at around $60 to get a life-time license. For that price, you gain access to dozens of textures, backgrounds, and brushes to choose from. And, app updates add new features all the time. This software is comprehensive and powerful enough to help you with any tasks, but remember the fact that you'll have to pay for most of the features offered. They have multiple payment plans, and with those come more and more options you can use – so this can be a little tricky. Other than that, there's only one more thing that can be a major drawback for some: it is only Windows supported. Think it through before making a choice. 4. Affinity Photo Platforms: Windows,MacOS | Price: Paid If you're looking for a pro photo editor like Photoshop, Affinity Photo is an excellent choice. Affinity Photo is sold at a budget price point, but it has the tools and the features and the power to compete with Photoshop head-on. Serif has focused particularly heavily on the retouching market, with cloning, healing and retouching tools, an Inpainting tool for automatic object removal and a dedicated Liquify persona (workspace) for localized image distortion effects. That being said, Affinity Photo's primary focus is photography, so it lacks a few of Photoshop's extra features (like 3D editing). Other than this, Affinity Pro's main difference with Photoshop is how the tools are organised. It uses “personas” instead of workspaces and that might take a little getting used to for folks used to Photoshop. It comes with layers, masks, smart objects, colour management, and both CMYK and RGB editing, as well as decent Raw file conversion. its filter effects can be applied ‘live' and its HDR tone mapping and workspace tools are excellent. From focus stacking and panorama stitching to HDR merging and digital painting, it has just about everything you could want in a photo editor. Like Photoshop, though, it's focused solely on in-depth, technical image manipulation. It doesn't have its own browsing and cataloguing tools and it doesn't do instant preset effects. Affinity Photo will bring the tools, but you have to bring the vision. For just $50—or cheaper if there's a sale—Affinity gives users a surprisingly complete set of Photoshop-like features. but subscription-free, via a single extra-low payment. As far as the learning curve is concerned, much like Photoshop, the tools in Affinity Photo are quite in-depth and will take some time to explore and learn. Luckily the interface is quite logical, and if you've used Photoshop before the tools will make sense. 5. Capture One Pro Platforms: Windows,MacOS | Price: Paid Capture One is a RAW image editor made by the camera company, Phase One. If you are a photographer who is mostly interested in enhancing RAW images, then this is a better option than Adobe Lightroom. Capture One works both as tethered capture and editing tool for studio photographers with a 'sessions' based workflow and as a Lightroom-style image cataloguing, searching and non-destructive editing tool. It works in a single window rather than in Lightroom-style ‘modules' and has a highly customizable set of ‘tool tabs'. One of the key differences is its layers-based local adjustment system which makes it much easier to see and edit your changes to your work, and this now includes 'parametric' linear and radial gradient masks which you can edit later. Capture One's conversions look smoother and sharper than Lightroom's. Its raw conversions are sharper and less noisy than Adobe's, but it doesn't support such a wide range of camera raw formats or as large a number of lens correction profiles. It doesn't have Adobe's mobile apps and online synchronization options either, but it does offer professional-grade ‘tethering' tools for studio photographers capturing images via a computer. Capture One Pro also has a better system for applying local adjustments, using adjustment layers and masks. It's expensive, but very, very good. This RAW image editor boasts some features that set it apart from the other software solutions available. For starters, if you need to work with big volumes of photos that are more than 20 megapixel RAW files, you will be impressed with its speed. What is more, to help you work more efficiently, the interface boasts some great customizability which means that you can change the keyboard shortcuts and layout to suit your preferences better. If you often work with layers, you will also love the fact that it does not become slower when you have too many layers. Plus, it lets you make several adjustments per layer. Some of its other fabulous features that will help you to work more efficiently are its sophisticated color editing and annotations. Its sliders make it much easier to tweak the granularity, while the annotations feature lets you jot down ideas to ensure that you can collaborate smoothly with other photographers and designers. You do need a relatively powerful computer to run Capture One Pro smoothly. The only real strikes against it are the fact that there's no HDR or panorama options, the steep learning curve, limited plugin support compared to other software, and the price. The full-fledged version retails at close to $300. There's also a subscription option at $20/month ($15/month if you prepay for a year) – considerably more expensive than Adobe's Creative Cloud Photography Plans. 6. Gimp Platforms: Windows,MacOS, Linux | Price: Free GIMP is a free, open-source photo editing software that's easy to download and install on your computer. It has multiple features which help you with retouching photos, photo composition and picture enhancement. It also includes a built-in file manager. If you're a photographer, graphic designer or illustrator with a limited budget, GIMP offers many powerful features that with other software you'd have to pay to use. The user-interface takes some getting used to and isn't as refined as Photoshop, but as with any editing software, once you're familiar with it, movements become second nature. Once you launch the program, you'll find a dedicated window that displays the image. You'll also see two floating docks: One with the toolbox and another for managing layers, paths, brushes, and more. It's also completely customisable, with dialogues allowed to float anywhere on the screen. You can customize not only the tools available, but also your workspace's color, widgets and widget spacings. All the essential image editing tools are there: noise reduction, cropping, colour adjustment, gradients, brushes, curves and image enhancements. For blemishes, there is the clone stamp, healing tools and you can even apply changes to isolated areas. When using a large display, or two monitors, you'll have an expansive workspace to edit your images. Icons in the toolbox represent specific tools, like Scale, Pencil, Paintbrush, Bucket Fill, Airbrush, Smudge, and more. You can apply numerous filters, too, such as dropping a shadow, adding a neon effect, adding a glass tile, removing devilish red eyes, and so on. It can handle all the usual file types, including RAW, JPEG, TIFF, PSD, GIF and more. Because GIMP is open-source, there's a very active community of users who have created plugins to add even more functionality to the program. However, despite a more user-friendly interface than past versions, Gimp offers almost nothing in the way of guidance, which makes it much more difficult to learn than other photo-editing software. This free professional software for editing photos is another excellent Photoshop alternative for beginners. It boasts a variety of features that can assist novices with digital photo retouching and composition. With the help of features like vignette and corrective mode, you can also take your photos of any file format to the next level. Gimp is good for starters and professionals with limited requirements. However, it is not an ideal option for pro-level editing work. 7. Paint.Net Platforms: Windows | Price: Free Paint.Net is an easy and convenient image editor with a clear and well-ordered interface. It offers you tons of Layers and filters, Plugin support but when compared with the GIMP, It is less powerful than GIMP. With Paint.Net you can make some basic editing without deep changes and professional retouch. The software will come in handy for Social media marketing Specialists and Photography lovers who need to put pictures in order fast. Paint.Net has a similar Adobe Photoshop interface. Tools like a magnifier, crop frame, color picker, and brushes are placed on the bar on the left side, history of editing and layers to work on - on the right side in different windows. All image editing functions are available in the Adjustments menu, including tools of Hue / Saturation and Curves. These tools are usually used by professional photographers and photo retouchers. In this program, you can overlay layers, mix them, for this you need to choose a "Layers" palette tool. You can return to any stage of photo editing. The name doesn't sound all that fancy. Although it sounds like Microsoft Paint, it is a dedicated photo editor. Albeit a basic one. It is easy for beginners as it has layers, unlimited history, and special effects. Editing with Paint.Net is very fast and easy, even on older systems, despite the fact that it lacks some advanced tools. It is free, but unfortunately for Mac users, it is exclusive to Windows. Sometimes it is important to work with a YouTube photo editor that does not include very many complex features. While going with this software, You see it's a quick, easy to work with and help you to create new look images. 8. Photofiltre Studio Platforms: Windows | Price: Free and Paid Photofiltre is not a widely known photo retouching program which won't cost you a penny, but it has plenty of features that casual photo editors will find useful. As its name suggests, PhotoFiltre offers plenty of terrific filters and tools for enhancing images. There are filters for adjusting brightness, contrast, increasing and decreasing saturation as well as sharpening or blurring images. It has a host of artistic filters, too, including textures, watercolor, pastels, sepia tone, black and white, night and sunlight effects and emboss. It even has a puzzle effect. The program doesn't offer layers, though it does allow you to put text over an image. Many don't use layers anyway so, for them, the lack of this feature is no loss. Whatever filter you apply it can be undone. It also can be faded. So if the original effect is too strong, you can reduce the amount via the Edit menu. PhotoFiltre includes an Image Explorer, which is accessed through the Tools menu. Open any image folder on your hard drive and its contents are shown along the bottom of the window. Simply double click on a photo to open it and begin editing. You can do automated batch processing of any number of photos. Select the Source and Output folders and file format such as JPEG, GIF and TIFF. Next select the image size and if you want a frame automatically added to the images. The size and color of the frame can be adjusted. During the batch process, brightness, contrast, saturation and Gamma correcting can be applied to photos. You can apply a few filters such a sharpening and scanlines, and rotate or flip images. The batch process is fast and easy. Since not all photos need the same amount of processing, do a test run to see if the results are to your liking. An advanced version of PhotoFiltre , called PhotoFiltre Studio, is also available for a nominal fee. Unlike the free version, PhotoFiltre Studio has layering capabilities. It is shareware and can be tried for a 30-day period. 9. PhotoScape X Platforms: Windows, MacOS | Price: Free and Paid Photoscape X is an incredible photo software editing program that people from all around the world can use; it's compatible in a number of different languages. Using Photoscape is ‘easy and fun'. it allows you to easily edit photographs taken from their digital cameras or even mobile phones. Although the Photoscape editor does not have a lot of advanced editing tools, the app is best used as a quick editor. It contains essential tools that allow you to apply filters, frame, crop, add text, draw, clone and so on. Photoscape is stuffed with a lot of features while retaining its ease of use. It has just about any tool you might be looking for – white-balance correction, color correction, brightness and contrast, etc. The app's features include a raw converter, file renamer, batch processor, viewer, color picker, screen capture tool, and print layout tool. It even has a GIF animation, and will convert your RAW images to JPG. You can also customize your toolbar into the features you use most, combine and split images, and make slideshows. Original photos can be edited using the one and only Magic Color with Photoscape X. Plus, over 240 features and over 1,000 patterns are easily accessible. It also boasts some really cool Instagram-like filters, frames and vintaging options. The only real downside to Photoscape is that it runs ads for other “recommended” software – the price you pay for “free.” PhotoScape is one of my favorite tools for post-processing, mostly because it has a friendly UI and quick editing features. It is one of the better free photo editors out there, and it's well worth checking out. 10. Darktable Platforms: Windows, MacOS , Linux | Price: Free and Paid Darktable is an open-source photo-editing application that allows you to enhance raw images. It also happens to be one of the only free image editors that doubles as a space to store and organize your photos. This app enables you to automate repetitive tasks. It also allows you to manage color with no hassle. You can add tags to images, rate them, organize them into folders, and mark them by color. It also allows you to create and save your own presets, making one-click editing a breeze. The interface is almost identical to Lightroom's, with the ability to quickly toggle between your photo library and editing tools. The main photo editing workspace is clear and straightforward, with a well-designed and friendly interface for something that doesn't command a price. You view your files in the ‘lighttable' tab, with editing taking place in the ‘darkroom'. Under ‘other', you have map, print, slideshow and tethering modules, all of which load near-instantly. There are some very powerful tools to be found. For example, lens and perspective corrections come as standard. also, there are surprising additions such as tethered shooting, selective colour correction, snapshots, multiple moveable masking options, and a completely customisable workspace. You can even add third-party modules. You are not restricted to jpgs, as Raw files are easily and automatically converted. Darktable also offers non-destructive editing, allowing you to convert back to your original image quickly and easily. DarkTable tends to fall short in accurate camera profile matching. Still, contributors do a great job in offering support for new cameras and lenses – the automatic lens correction is particularly impressive, and rivals any paid software. There aren't enough tools for professional photographers, and Darktable can get buggy and crash if files are too large. While the tools offered are similar to those in Lightroom, it does fall short in its ability to handle professional color manipulation. Although it doesn't offer all of the advanced tools of Photoshop, it does a great job as a free Lightroom alternative. It's a good starting point for beginners. There are no adverts or annoying, locked premium features. Online Photo Editors List From adjusting just the basic brightening of the image to the more complex adjustments like taking wrinkles and lines off of our faces and correcting our smiles and our bodies.

This works with HTML 5 rather than flash, so no unnecessary downloads on your end. I chose this editor because it works seamlessly with machines that do not have a lot of space (example: Chromebooks). Pixlr offers a Chrome App that connects to Google Drive. No account is necessary to use Pixlr; you only need to create one if you want to use the Pixlr Library with free cloud storage. The crowded toolbar reminds us of Photoshop.

With this photo editor, you can make finely detailed changes to colors, saturation, and vignette effects. On top of these, sharpening and blurring your images is a breeze.

Of course, Photopea doesn't provide all the functions that are present in Adobe software. But its feature set is extensive enough to satisfy users, especially those, who aren't willing to spend much on the subscription. The Photopea offers a wide variety of image editing tools, including advanced features like spot healing, a clone stamp healing brush, and a patch tool. The software supports layers, masks, smart objects, layer styles, filters, vector shapes and masks, and more.

Befunky Platforms: Web browser-based | Price: Free and Paid Befunky is very good online photo editor with lots of stunning picture editing options. It's used for making basic photo enhancement and color correction, create collage and graphic design. This app enables you to crop and resize photos with ease. There are 10 modules for image editing, which are organized in the form of a side panel. I like that you can create layouts of your works, import images, customize them as you wish, and then change the layout without overloading the pictures. It works especially great with collages. Create a simple collage is very easy. There are hundreds of great photo collage templates, but the problem is that most them are closed for free use. If you have a specific area that needs retouching, the tool has a variety of options for taking your image to the next level. It's simple, easy to use, and performs well in your web browser. BeFunky also has another cool feature, called Graphic Designer, which allows you to create brochures, posters, social media posts, and even your own templates, right in the app. While it may lack certain professional features, such as editing layers, can't open RAW pictures. you won't find a more efficient option for getting high-quality, creative images in little time. The best feature, though, is the AI image enhance button that does a pretty good job for you in just one click. However, most of the features are chargeable, so you will have to spend some amount of money to use all of them. But you will be able to do the basic editing of the image, with features like crop, resize, rotate, exposure, beautify, smoothening and blur, free of cost. This is a great option for beginners, but for more advanced users, the functionality and capabilities won't be enough. Moreover, the free version of the image editor comes with more than 30% of limited tools and constant intrusive advertising. I would choose this software if I could access art effects free of charge, since they are fantastic. 15.

Do I need a graphics tablet for photo editing When I first started editing photos in Photoshop, I used a mouse on my desktop and laptop for everything, from drawing complex masks to painting contrast into the sky. It worked, but it was difficult to do accurately and caused a whole load of hassle. It took me some time to make the leap and go from using a mouse to using a art tablet for photo editing, but once I switched to a Photoshop tablet, I have never looked back.
My first run-in with a pen and tablet for Photoshop was in 2018 with a XP-Pen Star G640 Tablet. I can still remember getting it. It felt awesome to use but was also very difficult to get used to. At first, I used it for everything because, well, I could! After a while, I realized the pen and tablet are just tools for post-production and it doesn't need to be used for everything. There are two main tasks I use my pen for while I edit. Before I discuss what I use them for, let's take a look at why I use them. The pen and tablet is kind of like a mouse with one very special characteristic that makes it stand out, pressure sensitivity. When you are using a brush in Photoshop with a mouse what you click is what you get. What I mean is, whatever brush presets you have set, the brush will respond with. Sometimes that means you will get a harsh line and the only way to make it less abrasive is to lower the opacity. However, you can only have one opacity set at a time, right? Wit a pen and tablet things are a little different. A Pen and Tablet will use your hand's pressure on the tablet to respond with the appropriate opacity, flow, or size. So, the softer you brush with your pen, the smaller or lighter the stroke will be. The harder you press, the darker or larger the line will be. As you can see in the photo above, with the mouse, what you click is what you get. With the Pen and Tablet, you have a lot more versatility and all with the delicate stroke of the pen on the tablet. This give you a ton of control when you are editing your images. I primarily use the pen and tablet for two things in Photoshop, Masking and Dodging & Burning. You may have heard of a pen and tablet before. The term Wacom is almost synonymous with the pen and tablet. However, other brands such as XP-Pen also offer a wide range of options with an equally wide range of features. Where they differ significantly is price. xp-pen tablet is about at around a third of that of the same wacom model. The entry level XP-Pen Star G640 has only 6 by 4 inches of the active working area , but this will still be sufficient for most home users and those starting out with their photo editing, making the Star G640 the best beginner drawing tablet. I would recommend the small size as sufficient for most users, although there exists of all sizes from A7 to A3. When looking for the best pen pad for Photoshop, you need to make a personal decision on whether you want a drawing tablet with a screen or not. You definitely don't need a graphics tablet with a screen, but they can improve the accuracy of your Photoshop work, depending on your technique. If you do want one, you will be looking at a significantly increased cost, although it is possible to get a relatively cheap drawing tablet with screen, such as the XP-Pen Artist 12 Pro , if you are more budget limited. The XP-Pen Artist 12 Pro is an excellent budget drawing tablet with screen. Technically, the pen pressure and accuracy are on a par with Wacom, although in real-world practice the Wacom tablets come out on top. There are many more models in the XP-Pen Artist series if you have more to spend and are looking for a larger screen. Conclusion There are many photo editing software's on the web ,depend on what type of photo editing you usually do. Whether you are a professional or beginner, you can use any of these photo editing tools. Choose the tool that not only appeals the most to you but is also very easy to use and enables you to achieve desirable results. Now that you have a good understanding of the top paid and free photo editors out there, it's time to get testing! If you don't want to spend money on a photo editor, start with a free one or a free trial, then take it from there. Not all software is meant for everybody. For example, Adobe Photoshop needs months/years of practice to become an expert. However, other software like Canva, Fotor, etc. are browser-based, and they need you to be familiar with their layout. Of course, you needn't be a design expert to get going with any of these. We hope this article will help you pick the best photo editing app for your computer. Check the pros and cons and go to the official website to download the chosen software! this article was just my opinion. You should try them out and judge for yourself. Hard work pays off and results will come in no time! Happy Editing! Leave any questions or suggestions below !
