What version of Photoshop Elements comes with the tablet?
768029
Photoshop Elements 9. It's not as fancy as regular Photoshop, but it works for me.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9. This is not a full version, but you would never guess it by its functionality. I have yet to come across any "pay barrier" or features grayed out.

To Pat and J.Crosby, In my opinion, do youself a favour and don't go anywhere near Photoshop Elements 6 (PSE6). I paid for an upgrade from an earlier version and have wasted my money. The program crashes continually to such an extent it is unusable. From my googling on the internet this is the experience of numerous other people. There are no solutions I can find on the Adobe site and although these complaints seem to have been posted since PSE6 was first brought out there are no upgrades or patches to fix what are a myriad of problems. A number of people have complained that the program worked initially and then started continually crashing and that has been my experience. I won't be buying more Adobe products until they show a bit of customer care and isuue fixes for this mess. I have downloaded and installed a trial version of Pro Photo X2 and so far it seems stable. PSE6 may have more bells and whistles but that is not much use if they are unusable due to continual program crashes.

No it does not have Adobe Photo Shop, but I wish it did. I need something for editing the many photos I take. I am just getting around to really "personalizing" my Tablet. I'm sure there's some app that will take care of photo editing. I still love this Tablet. It is quicker and handier than my daughter's more expensive iPad!

Can't say about PSE 12. However, you do require a driver. The tablet should come with a driver disc. HOWEVER, I highly recommend NOT using the disc, and instead downloading the most recent driver for the tablet from the Wacom site for your operating system. The driver includes a preferences utility with which you can alter how the individual functions of the pen work. The pen tip, eraser, first thumb button and second thumb button can have their actions changed. The four buttons on the face of the tablet can also have their functions changed. The eraser, pen tip, side buttons, and four face buttons can also be configured for individual applications via the software installed alongside the driver from the Wacom site.

No it doesn't sadly, I believe the only tablet types that comes with it is the windows RT versions. The full windows versions don't seem to

Thank you so much for letting us know! And sorry to hear about the disappointment... seems so silly of Wacom to do this to us. If there is no texture difference what is the point of having a standard and clear version? The tablet is black anyway. ^^;

I have Elements 5 and Paintshop Pro 8 (and 7). All are very good, but the emphasis is different. I use Elements for processing my DSLR photos using the included Adobe Camera Raw. It is reasonably easy to use and the quality of the results is excellent. I use the PTlens plugin to correct for lens defects and Elements works well with this. I very occasionally like to use a feature that Adobe has left out in order to avoid competing with full Photoshop. Examples include Curves adjustment layers and fully automated batch editing. In this case I switch to Paintshop Pro, which invariably does have the missing feature. If you don't know why you would need these features, you probably don't! I don't use the built in Organiser, because I started using Picassa (free from Google) for this purpose and I see no reason to change. For design work, such as web design, I would personally choose to use Paintshop Pro, because its feature set is more complete, (Paintshop Pro 8 is roughly equivalent to Photoshop version 6), and because those advanced features are more easily accessible. Other people that I know would choose to use full Photoshop instead, and I can understand their point of view. Photoshop Elements needs quite a powerfull (i.e. new) computer, if it is not to seem slow. I understand that this is also true for the latest Paint Shop Pro. Finally, you can download both of these products for a free month's trial, so why not try then out and make your mind up after that?

Yes it is, i found it to work very well in many types of editing software as well, like Photoshop,Manga Studio,Blender,Zbrush,Sculptris,Daz Studio 3d,Gimp, etc....and yes i have all of these lol. Some is limited to the tablet but over all...GREAT!! Plus many hot keys and buttons vs the Wacom

It comes with Office Suite which has a word, excel, and powerpoint editor. In my experience it has been fairly decent for a tablet as far as editing capabilities.

The Wacom CTH470 Bamboo tablet is the one on top. (Silver with Black) As for the quality goes, its a great tablet worth every penny. I love my CTH470.

If you are going to buy Photoshop Elements and have Windows 8** already on your computer, I would recommend you get the latest version of Photoshop. I believe elements 9 would work under the compatibility mode setting; but, you would not have the best or the most current version of Photoshop . There are a number of updates that make the program work much better. Best to get the latest that is written to work with the latest windows OS.

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.

Well any Wacom Tablet can be used, and so can a few non Wacom tablets as well. If you want value the Wacom Bamboo Splash CTL471 is a good fit, however it lacks any customization buttons besides the two pen buttons. the CTL471 will run you around $80 but I got mine for $64.24 here on amazon. Now the next model up, the Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen and Tablet CTH470 will run you about $100 ($83.24 here on amazon at the moment) and it comes with 4 programmable buttons which can help you in the long run. It is also marketed more towards photo editing and comes with Photoshop Elements (its a older version, but Photoshop Elements 11 is $100 by itself so you're getting a deal.) So I would go with the Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen and Tablet CTH470 for the most value and to start you off for what you want to do. I bought the Splash because I want to use it mostly for drawing. Still, any Wacom Product is idea for photographers in my opinion.

It comes with a disc including the software you need to run it. This tablet works great :)

Yes, I received everything I needed to use the tablet. Works great on Windows 8 - perfect for Photoshop, Illustrator and any precise graphic work.

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.
