It works in anything but it helps to have any art program, whether free or not, that has 'brushes' to allow for the pressure-sensitivity settings.

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.

You can use it right out of the box with Microsoft paint or any other program. It is plug and play like a mouse.

I run Corels' Paint Shop Pro X which can use Photoshop plug-ins without problem. You do have room to upgrade the graphics card if you want to.

Yes you can. There's a few setting for what you're wanting. You select the track and right click and select fade in or out. Or costume fade points. I haven't done those yet because I haven't had the need to, but yes you can. Go on YouTube to lean more before you get disappointed on spending your money and didn't get what you thought it was. Note this program take a high in computer, please have a I7 for the best result. Also once you buy the download you CAN'T GET YOUR MONEY BACK. It's a Amazon thing. Well I hope this helps and thank you for reading.

With some imagination and creativity, you could use it however you wish. You could tape the image you wish to draw or trace to a wall or to the bottom of the "Artograph". You would have to figure out how to support the "Artograph" above the horizontal surface. As a matter of fact, I may well be doing this myself, as I wish to reproduce some old early 1900's family pictures. Either that, or I will somehow affix a blank canvas to a wall to draw on. You are only limited by your own imagination !!!

Preferably a drawing tablet...but a mouse and keyboard will do. A dedicated graphics card would probably be a bit more helpful than the on-board graphics.

This would work, but it isn't worth it.Only get this for light fun, not for actual art. I bought this because my more expensive tablet broke, turns out you still get what you pay for.Find a better tablet, like a Wacom or Huon.

Aye, I'm actually using Photoshop now on it. Don't see any reason why it wouldn't be supported.

I am running this on a PC. And I have no album art as far as I can tell on my computer.

No it doesn't its just the program.....so you'd have to buy a tablet...I recommend a wacom tablet.

As far I know, it should work pretty well, however GIMP is a free alternative that works fast and has as many features.

I don't see why it wouldn't depending on whether or not your system would fit. Ghost? Why bother? If you are using Windows you can make an image without having to purchase anything else. If you're using Windows 8, search for backup and restore.

Can see why you could not. But there is a painter lite ( look at the Corel.com site). But it work best with a Wacom tablet.

you can but wouldn't suggest it. UNLESS you are trying to make a stencil of some sort...?

Since I don't have Windows 8, you might want to check with their site for that info. But, it does not have a RAW converter, when I visited there last. The program takes the standard files from images. You can always find even free software to adjust and convert RAW files to use in this program to even better define your art.

No need to buy anything. Krita is an open source program designed for digital painting -- https://krita.org/

You can either draw into the program on a sketch layer, or if you draw on paper you can scan it, either or is good. i recommend a great drawing tablet however.

You can but you need a third-party software to do it. Here is a link to the software that I use http://goo.gl/I1PhWj.
