With everything plugged in and installed as it should be, it’s now time to put this thing through its paces…Īfter firing up Photoshop (Windows) and trying a few basic scribbles, it felt fantastic – the pen seemed to ‘glide’ so smoothly over the tablet and the resulting strokes on screen were perfect. It works with all the major creative software packages like Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator (in fact all the Adobe CC stuff), SAI, Corel Painter, Corel Graphics Suite, Clip Studio Paint, GIMP, Medibang, Krita, Blender 3D etc – in fact, even if your aren’t ‘creating’ as such, it makes a great replacement for your mouse in everyday tasks.Īs with all graphic tablet installations, you have to uninstall any previous tablet/older drivers before heading over to XP-Pen’s website to download and install the drivers for this particular unit.
