Hello All,
I am trying to paint in photoshop using a mouse and I realized that I can not make the mouse do what I wanted it to do. For example the mouse makes my brush strokes too jerky and I don’t get smooth lines and the textures don’t come out right either. Is the mouse a good tool for painting in photoshop or should I go with something else? If I should opt for a different tool what is it and where can I find one that’s not terribly expensive? Thank you in advance for your response.

A Wacom tablet with stylus.

The Bamboo is the entry level model.

Agree…Wacom. I’d go for the Intuos for nest results.

But for what you are doing Photoshop might not be the best application. Painter might be more appropriate. Not cheap though.

When you buy your wacom you should get a stripped down version of painter try it out and see if that’s better than Photoshop for painting.

When I got my Wacom it came with a stripped down version of Painter in the bundle.
