Another item you might want to add to your setup is a pressure sensitive stylus and tablet combination. The one I have attached to my computer is the Wacom Intuos tablet, and this is what it looks like. You can see it's a digitizing tablet and a pen like stylus. Ok, what is a tablet and a stylus combination? What it is basically is a replacement for your mouse. It is a different kind of computer pointing device and you can certainly use it instead of mouse. But the Wacom pressure sensitive tablet and stylus combination really shines, and is really designed for computer graphic imaging applications. It is so easy to use, you can see even kids can use it in their art class. To give you an idea of why you would want to use something like this, I am going to show you how Photoshop takes advantage of the tablet-stylus combination. If I select my airbrush tool here, at the end of my options palette is a small button for some tablet-stylus combination options for my tablet and stylus. The one I want to show you currently is activating the pressure to take advantage of my stylus. And you can see that I currently had that selected. If I did not have a tablet-stylus combination hooked up to my computer, these options in Photoshop would be disabled. And these options show up on many different tools. So, you can see that if you don't have a tablet-stylus combination hooked up to your computer, you're a kind getting not all that you could get out of Photoshop. So with my color selected and my airbrush selected, I am going to turn my pressure up to 100%. And I am going to make one mark, but I am going to vary how much I press down on the tablet creating different levels of opacity. So I'm going to start out very light, and press heavier, and I'll lighten up a bit. You could not do this with a mouse. You can see that I have created one mark varying the opacity of my mark based on how hard I press down. I'll choose Edit>Undo that last mark, and you can see that it is in fact one mark. Another thing you can do with the tablet is choose to switch between different colors for your foreground and background. So I will choose color equals stylus. And now based on how hard I press, so the harder I press, I'm getting my foreground color, and if I press lightly I get the background color, and if press somewhere in between you get a mix. Again that's taking advantage of the pressure aspect of my tablet. And if you wanted, you could have both of these two features mix. I'll make it also have my brush size change based on how hard I press down. I'll increase my brush size, and you can see that the harder I press, the wider the brush gets. Finally if you are trying to make selections using the mouse, it can be very difficult, because the mouse simple is not a very precise input device. But with my tablet-stylus combination, it's a lot simpler to control something like the lasso tool. So in a nutshell, I recommend finishing your computer system with a Wacom tablet. And they range in price from as low as about 100 dollars now to much more than that, depending on how big you want the tablet to be.
