Would this software be good for digital art?

I have to admit it's a cheap photo fix that I use for small projects. Anything big would depend on the detail of fixing needed. Hope that helps

I have not tried this, but I suspect that it depends on what you want to do on it. Plain text, like document editing would probably be OK. Images, like editing photographs, undoubtedly would not be satisfactory.

I own the 550XL but the software should be the same: The machine will come with AutoPunch and HyperText; this software allows you to open other people's designs and create text from any font on your computer. Technically this software will allow you to load an image and convert it to a digital file but I've found this aspect of the software to be somewhat limited with anything but the most basic of objects but it'll get the job done. My machine did *not* come with PhotoStich which allows you to take a photo (like from a camera) and convert it to a digital file. Also not included will be the CrossStich, which will create digitized images in a series of X's instead of solid stitches or lines.

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.

I'd recommend you try MyPaint (http://mypaint.org/), if only because it is free AND multi-platform. And unlike some of the other excellent free programs like Krita or GIMP, MyPaint is from the ground-up designed as a digital paint program - thus it should prove less confusing to a beginner; you pick a brush, pick a color, and go.

I find it works well in photoshop. certainly better than a mouse. It takes a lot of practice to get fine details, but I think it's worth it.

I would think it would be suitable, but I don't use Illustrator that much. I mainly use it in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop and I have to say it works very well in those two environments.

it comes with some software like Anime Studio Debut, corel painter 12 (demo), and autodesk sketchbook which it works great with! I personally use Photoshop and Illustrator with it and it's amazing!

try zooming in closer when trying fine detail. Make resolution of file you are making at least 300/dpi. Its a work around, but for $500 it would be a steal. I think its overpriced at USD 599. But couldn't ever afford ( justify to self ) Cintique, even the cheapie.

I use it to tutor online students with the work they have to do or practice over work that I have on my computer. It is a huge white board! I can also sketch my future paintings. The system inside? Wacom has a good description. The company includes several free software programs with your purchase, so that you can use the Cintiq immediately. Great tool!

Hello Eric, I'm not familiar with Photo Explosion Deluxe, but I did some research and it does look like it would be a compatible program for use with our digital backgrounds. We do not have any tutorials for that particular program, though. Most image editing programs are similar, so figuring out equivalent tools and functions is usually fairly easy. You can view our free video tutorials at our website (per Amazon rules, I can not state the name of the website but it should be easy to deduce from our brand name). Also, keep in mind that any purchase from us is covered by our 100% Unconditional Satisfaction Guarantee. I hope that answered your question. If not, or if you have any other questions, feel free to contact us anytime. Clive at EZbackgrounds

You have to use a computer a with monitor. I purchased digital art software at around $40 also, but it _might_ work with pre-installed apps on a computer like Windows Paint.

A very strong YES. I have been using it for many years with Kubnut and Sabayon. My favorate art programs are Krita, Mypaint, Gimp, Inkscape and for 3d sculpture work and other 3d stuff Blender 3d. All free and good art software. It works quite well with Mint, Ubuntu, Sabyon and any other Distro that included the drivers out of the box. Other can install the drives manually. Here is the main driver project. http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxwacom/

I have never used it, but there is a menu choice in professional mode for either black and white or color negatives. I have used it to digitize slides as jpeg files and it worked fine.

I'm not sure regarding Paintshop Pro X6 Ultimate Program, but I sure do work with Adobe Photoshop CS5 and it works great with many layers, hence it definitely preserves the basic and depths of a pencil sketch. So, I don't see why it shouldn't work!

Yes, it will work just fine. They do really good with converting standard size images to a bigger canvas, but the better the picture the better it will turn out. I was really happy with the way mine turned out. I used a picture that was a little fuzzy and the canvas looked a little fuzzy like the picture, but the quality was great besides that.

So long as you have a basic imaging program (paint, photoshop) this is all you need . Once you have the images saved in JPEG, TIFF or a similar setting, you can just import it in, and the software does the rest!
