Has anyone used Photoshop or any Adobe software on it? I am interested in the pen capabilities with regards to more design savvy software.

I have not used any Adobe software on my Vivotab. I have SketchBook Pro on it though, and enjoy using the pen very much. The pressure sensitivity allows for a natural feel while drawing. The only occasional issue I have found is the pen and pointer/crosshairs being offset on the screen. I'm not sure if this is with only certain brush styles or not, and it may be able to be adjusted in the settings. Overall I have really enjoyed the experience of drawing directly on the screen rather than on a drawing tablet. I too was concerned about the pen when researching this tablet and considered upgrading to a better pen if it disappointed. For me, this pen is more than sufficient. I do wish the case had a built in pen pocket for it. I end up tucking it in a small pouch in the case to keep the pen with the tablet.

After you install it to your computer you'll have to use it with a photo software for example I have Photoshop Elements 11{any program should work}. Photoshop Elements will recognize it , and just use it as pen instead of a mouse. oh by the way This does come with a earlier version of Adobe Photoshop Elements{I'm not sure which one, because I didn't install that version , because I already have PSE 11}. Comes with something that looks like a UBS Card, that you plug into your Computer UBS...I leave mine in all the time. I don't have the manual on hand right now, I have to look for it tonight when I get home but, if you need more info...Please let me know.

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.

I've posted photos from the program to my Facebook page, but it's easier for me to post from the "pictures" files in Windows. As far as "design" goes, I guess I don't use that/those feature(s). I bought the program to play with effects and simple cropping and editing, particularly with RAW/NEF images. I like Paintshop Pro for its ease of use. As an older person, I like to keep it simple and Paintshop Pro does that for me. I also have Photoshop CS3, which I use almost as much, due to being used to using the program.

I haven't been using it lately. Best bet is check out videos on "Utube", lots of informative stuff there. Also do search of manufacturer's website which is: "Autodesk" and search w name of program: "SketchBook Pro 6". Lot of tutorials and examples showing it in action, which will be much better than words.

That makes a lot of sense, especially if you into drawing. This is one of those times where it really is up to the preference of the user. By chance, do you use Adobe Flash on your Galaxy Note 10.1? Thanks for the reply.

Yes, there are some basic programs, but I don't think you're going to get as much from the tablet with these programs as you could be. I highly recommend the Photoshop Creative Cloud subscription, which is full access to the latest version of photoshop for $19.99/month. Otherwise, there is GIMP, or any number of 3rd party drawing/painting software on the Mac or Windows app store. Also chek http://www.alternativeto.net, search for Photoshop, Corel Paint, Corel Draw, etc.

Nope... not at this time. Since it has a N-Trig stylus, you won't get pressure sensitivity in Photoshop (or, Painter, SAI, etc etc) because the pen API is not Wintab. I've been told twice by N-Trig tech support that Wintab is coming this year, but their track record is lousy and it's any body's guess if it will happen. You can run Photoshop etc just fine but the stylus just acts like a very accurate mouse pointer. Artrage and Sketchbook Pro 6 work very well on the Sony, as well as all of the Microsoft products (esp OneNote).

When the first series Creative Suite came out, I upgraded from Photoshop to CS1. Great! What I didn't know is, I would never, ever, ever use Illustrator or the other programs. I ONLY used Photoshop. But I've been stuck because as you correctly point out, Wirtzy, you can't upgrade from a suites package back to a single program. My workaround (certainly not an option for many, many Photoshop users), is to swap downward for the latest Photoshop Elements and make much more use of Lightroom (which is an excellent photo editing program). I won't have a CMYK color palette and maybe there will come a day when that's a problem, but I use it so rarely that I just don't care to worry about it.

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.

The S-Pen is WAY better at responding and it does a lot more. It takes multi tasking to a new extreme. It really does. Once you learn all the tricks of the pen you will be amazed at what that pen can do. As far a differences you have to experiment with the tablet. Programs run better of course, I could talk about the new features of the multi window functions without the pen, the file manager is wonderful there is just so much. I haven't regretted the purchase yet and everyone I know who has an iPad or iPad Air hates my tablet lol.

It works much like a pen, however you need software that allows you to draw/sketch for it to do so.

Hi Ricardo I did receive the Asus and am impressed with its capabilities, even running Win7 no problems, oncew in a while the pen get glitchie but I think its user error and as I have not installed CS5 Photoshop yet, won't know the complete difference between a 12inch Cintique verses a Asus. As far as operating system win 7 is great , connects to my network of 4 computers and print via wiresly easily. Good luck Enjoy

the palm rejection worked great for me.no problem there. as for the PDF files, i didn't even really get into that. the buttons on the pen were simply undo and redo shortcuts in the app i used. i used the pen for about 10 minutes and didn't like it simply because the lines would not come out straight. not good for tedious work. hope this helps

Once you install the software you can use mouse or pointer to write on screen. (but you need to connect the USB Penpower first, no Penpower find software will not load)

I have Adobe Photoshop Lightroom installed on my wind and it works fine except side menus dont have much room to expand cuz of small resolution, so i get tired scrolling those menus up and down using touchpad, maybe its easier with external mouse but I havent tried it. So I have it as a backup for editing photos if I dont have access to my desktop.

I'm a designer and illustrator, but I also use the tablet just to navigate around. And if you can type with a pen in your hand, you don't even have to put the pen down when you're writing someone a note.
