I have been told that to use it with Photoshop you have to have Photoshop loaded on the tablet, is this true?

I'm not sure I understand the question, but there is no software on the tablet per se. The driver software lives on your computer as does your art application (photoshop). Once the driver sfwr is on your computer the tablet act similar to a mouse. where you move the pen on the tablet so does the cursor move.

It works as a mouse too, so not just in photoshop. You can use it for anything, once the pen is working it continues to work and act as a mouse in and out of photoshop. It works for everything.

Yes. I've used it with sketchbook before as well as manga studio. The drivers seem iffy with photoshop and I haven't managed to get pressure to work there.

no, to my knowledge it only works on Wacom tablets... although, it may but I wouldn't risk it

No. But you can export the diagrams as jpegs and show it to people on the tablet.

its plugged into your computer so what ever program you are using on that. Its my daughters and she uses photo shop. Its not a stand alone tablet it has to be plugged into your laptop or pc. The only software it came with is to install it into your computer. I hope this has helped..

Yes. The Tablet comes with a USB dongle that allows you to transfer directly from your camera into the pictures folder.

You can totally run photoshop no problem on this machine. Theres a little bit of confusion when it come to their product offerings. There are basically two devices: The Wacom Cintiq Companion Hybrid, and wacom's Cintiq Companion. The 'Hybrid' model is much more affordable, and, by itself, can only run Android Apps (such as sketchbook pro..) otherwise it has the option to be attached to a computer to run Photoshop. The regular Companion Model, is much more expensive and IS a standalone device, and, really, not a bad one at that. Its plenty strong enough to run photoshop, and CAD.

I have no idea, I didn't bother installing the included software.I just found a driver online.I mainly use the tablet in Photoshop CS5 and Gimp.

Question was cut off, there was no driver that came with the tablet but a visit to the wacom site and download a driver for your specific tablet should fix any issues. If you are just plugging it.it should.draw fine ,their isnt any pen pressure ,line gets bigger with pushing down. Any other questions please feel free to adk

Yes. I have not used either of those programs but I have edited excel spreadsheets, word files and adobe acrobat files. it is a little slower but depending on the speed of your network, I think you'll find it to be negligible. I am doing these things from a Windows 7 PC and a windows 7 laptop. I don't know how it would preform on a tablet, either android or apple.

Photoshop has pressure sensitivity built-in. This tablet uses Wacom technology and is definitely capable of taking advantage of that.

It can run Photoshop, yes. However, performance will not be great- especially when applying CPU intensive features like rendering or filters.

The tablet functions as a "mouse" sort of input. I've only used it with GIMP once, but it did everything I needed it to. Depending on how you use your mouse, and what buttons you're using, you may lose some functionality in that respect, but that's only if you completely forgo the mouse for the tablet input.

I would not say it is overkill, and here's why: Over time you will find yourself wanting to do things, even just once in a great while, where you will be glad you purchased a tablet that does more. I have done some photo repair using Photoshop and Paintshop Pro. As I became more and more familiar with digital painting and drawing, I found myself wanting to learn more - I could not have done it without continually upgrading my hardware - which can get expensive. Go with the better tablet - I guarantee that at some point, you will be very happy you did.

No, you do not see what you draw on the tablet. The tablet is connected through a USB connection and you draw with the Wacom pen on the tablet and the image is viewed on your computer screen. You must be in a program like Paint to see a drawing. I use Corel Painter to create images. The Pen acts somewhat like a mouse. You can click on things with it, for instance, click to open programs or even write with it and the program recognizes your handwriting and turns it into text.

I'm not exactly sure. I use the tablet for art projects as a starter. It can be used in place of your mouse though, for better accuracy. For a while, I had a very old mouse that wasn't working too well, & was using the pen as the mouse (you just hover it over the tablet & press to click, & it has the right/left button functions on it as well). Wacom, Cintiq & Intuos tablets are very different, & this was/is my first one. I'm sorry I can't be of much help.
