I'm trying to find a fairly good first tablet for myself, and my main question is how well does this tablet work with the program Gimp?

For the record, GIMP seems to just have this problem in general. I have an older Wacom and I couldn't get it to work with GIMP no matter what I tried. You might want to try Krita; it's another free graphics program that seems to be geared more towards artists and doesn't have the tablet issues that GIMP does.

There's one major problem I had. I couldn't get the pressure sensitivity to work with Gimp. I could get it to work with other programs though. There are some instructions on Google for fixing this, but I still couldn't get it to work. Also the drivers for this don't work very well, and I would have trouble with the tablet work and not work at random times. I recommend spending more and getting a wacom.

It's a fairly simply tablet so I would think so. I've used lots of different Wacom tablets over the years and this is really nice one for the price. The surface is a great texture and the pressure -sensitivity when working in programs like Photoshop is excellent.

The one I have is also running adobe flash 11.1 and I agree it is a good inexpensive tablet. I haven't had any troubles.

I use it for a drawing application, Smartdraw, I found it was no better or worse than others. I had an ASUS Slate pc before. I have not used it on the programs you listed. Good luck

I'm pretty sure you can get around that by downloading the driver directly. Try doing a search for them. The tablet will work plug and play, but with fewer features I think. I actually downloads some Wacom drivers too, based on something I read on a forum. Short answer-- it shouldn't be a problem.

From what I've heard, Huion Tablet are really tough to work with and in most cases people just say that it was a waste of their money. I've heard that trying to install the tablet drivers alone made some people want to rip their hair out. I have the Bamboo Capture, and even though it was a little bit expensive for me it has been a breeze to work with. It runs really well and I even got Photoshop as a free program with it. I've had zero problem thus far.

wow guys thank you very much for the info!So, apparently Vagan 7 is the best custom rom. Is there any drawback compared to the official rom the tablet ships with?Thanx!

Well, Havent tried that but It works every bit as good as my old Wacom 6*8 Serial, and that worked pretty well. Really gonna depend on what program U are using. THis tablet does work with photoshop CS2? Cant remember which version I have. I mainly Use it with ArtRage, which is amazing with this tablet.

Although tablets are wonderful to work with, if you've never used one before, I reccomend getting a cheaper one before splurging on a really high-end model that you might not end up liking. Graphire3's or 4's are pretty cheap, and you get a really decent tablet for that price. It gives you a launching pad, something cheap to practice with before you commit yourself fully to an expensive one.

The Wacom Intuos3 tablet does not display anything on the tablet itself; you have to get used to watching the PC screen as you're moving the pen over the surface of the tablet.Wacom does put out the Cintiq line of tablets which DO display your image right on the tablet itself, but of course these are much more expensive. The cheapest of these will set you back a thousand dollars, and even then, some of the people who have used the cheapest Cintiq seem to regard it as a beta product, a little rough around the edges. (There is a better Cintiq tablet, but it costs around $2000.)

I would agree with Chris Frenzy. Great to introduce you to a graphic pen/tablet. I also mainly use with Photoshop, but so far with Illustrator we haven't experienced any problems. It definitely does the job!

Yes, you do need some type of graphics software to create art or graphic design projects. The tablet by itself can only be used as a replacement mouse. If budget is your concern, try Photoshop Elements or CorelDraw.

Honestly, at first i didn't liked it at all. But now im kind of get used to sketchbook pro, The wacom apps are really awful. (excuse my english, hope you understand me)

It works with most any software, yes. It works - but not well - with GIMP, but it works just fine with Photoshop and Illustrator.

I use Photoshop Element which is provided with the tablet to edit and retouch my photos and I found it is easy to do so. The edited photo were awesome.

I got a Xoom a while back (and returned it) and I was able to re-download every app that I had already purchased (as long as it was compatible with tablets) so I would assume the same would go for the Galaxy tab. There were some games that have a separate Tablet app which you would have to purchase again. The only ones I had that problem with were backbreaker football and another I can't remember. I think I was able to run the original backbreaker game but it was very pixelated. Most of the apps are compatible and they will work fine on both a phone and a tab, but some, while it will open, will look horrible on the tablet. Others won't open at all. By the way, I have all three angry birds (Ad-Free) and they all worked and looked great on the Xoom

I run adobe photoshop cs6, sketchbook pro and manga studio 5 and blender on this tablet with no issues. I've taken the os upgrade to windows 8.1 pro and still have no issues.
