Most people who enjoy taking photographs derive pleasure from simply showing them to friends and family with no thought of editing them, other than maybe their size on the screen.<\/p>\nMost people who enjoy taking photographs derive pleasure from simply showing them to friends and family with no thought of editing them, other than maybe their size on the screen.<\/p>\n
However, what if you want, or need, the ability to make professional looking edits and adjustments to your images either for pleasure or if photography is used as part of your business?<\/p>\n
One solution is to use a handheld tablet device to edit them, but the question is which one? In this review, we are going to asses 5 of the best tablets for photo editing and advise which one we recommend.<\/p>\n
\u2022<\/span> Lightweight \u2022<\/span> Driver updates can be troublesome The Huion H610PRO<\/a> is a compact and lightweight drawing tablet and pen, which has multiple drawing and photo editing functions and is compatible with most graphics software, allowing you to enhance all your photographs and images.<\/p>\n The fact that this tablet comes with a stylus pen and the drawing function indicates that it’s very much designed towards those who enjoy digital drawing and graphics. For those who do, features like 8192 pressure sensitivity, shortcut buttons and being able to set the tablet for right- or left-handed use will appeal.<\/p>\n When it comes to photo editing, one of the primary concerns would be whether the tablet has compatibility with all the main photo editing software. Rest easy because it does. In fact, there is a comprehensive list of them including Adobe Photoshop, which is probably the most used photo editing program in use today.<\/p>\n As you are editing your images with the tablet, you will enjoy a working area on the display of 10 inches by 6.25 inches, giving you good-sized space in which to create. Thankfully the size of the screen does not mean that your tablet is going to weigh you down. In fact, it comes at a lightweight 1.4 lbs., so you will hardly notice it in your bag or carry case.<\/p>\n To make work easier, there are 16 function keys which enables commonly used features plus you can customize eight other keys for those which you need most often. \u2022<\/span> Programmable function keys \u2022<\/span> User instructions are poorly written The Turcom TS-6610<\/a> is a drawing tablet which offers all the drawing and photo editing functions you need to enhance, edit or combine your images to make them look professional and appealing. Plus, it will do it all for a fraction of the price that many similar products will cost you.<\/p>\n If you like products that on the outside look basic and uncluttered, but in fact offer a multitude of functions and enhancements, then the Turcom TS-6610 will greatly appeal to you.<\/p>\n Its outer area is a simple black casing with the screen in the middle and even with the eight function buttons on the left you’d be forgiven for thinking this was nothing more than a sleek looking photo viewer. How wrong you would be!<\/p>\n This device can be used in conjunction with all the main software including Photoshop, Corel Painter, and Comic Studio, so the levels to which you can create hand-drawn illustrations, edit photographs to a professional standard or even combine both to produce stunning images, is limited only by your imagination.<\/p>\n Setting up the tablet can be done to suit how you prefer to work as there are 16 keys along the top of the screen and a further eight down the side which you can pre-set to the functions you choose.<\/p>\n Making it easy to use is a theme of this tablet as it can be set up to suit both left and right-handed people, plus the size of the screen at 10 x 6.25 inches gives a nice sized working area. We must also mention how light it is to carry with a weight of just over 2 lbs.<\/p>\n Finally, we must comment on the price of the Turcom TS-6610; it is one of the lowest for a drawing\/photo editing tablet currently available. If you are new to photo editing tablets and don\u2019t want to risk making the wrong choice, or if you simply like getting the best deal possible, then this is certainly one product you should consider.<\/p>\n\n \u2022<\/span> High specification processor\/memory \u2022<\/span> Wi-Fi connection is slow One of the most critical elements to consider when considering any tablet which you are going to use for photo editing is the screen resolution. With the Chuwi HiBook Pro<\/a>, you have such a high screen resolution that it will make photo editing a real pixel fest.<\/p>\n While you may primarily be looking for a tablet that allows you to edit photos, it is also essential to consider its specifications as a tablet because these will impact on how easy and how well it will function when you are using imaging and photo editing software.<\/p>\n This Chuwi HiBook has high specifications with 4GB RAM, a 1.44 GHz quad-core 64-bit processor and 64 GB main drive, so everything is in place to make photo editing a pleasure. You can also expand the memory, so even if you end up with a lot more images and bigger files sizes than you first thought, there’s still the means to store them.<\/p>\n Still looking at its graphics capabilities, it also has an Intel high-definition graphics processor which enhances the clarity of any graphics, photos, and videos you are editing for best results.<\/p>\n As the tablet runs on a Windows platform, it is compatible with all the major photo editing and graphics software that you could use on a PC, plus it is also android enabled, so any imaging or photo apps form the Google store can be used too.<\/p>\n On a practical level, the Chuwi tablet weighs only 2.2 lbs., so there will be no problem carrying it with you, and it also has all the latest connectivity such as Micro HDMI and Micro USB sockets. There is a keyboard dock which gives you an option to connect it to a full-size keyboard. Better still go wireless and connect wirelessly to a Bluetooth keyboard.<\/p>\n The highlight of this tablet must be its incredibly sharp and clear screen. It has 2560 x 1600 resolution on a 10.1-inch screen which virtually eliminates any visible pixelation. This makes any photos you are editing sharper, clearer, and more detailed so that your edits are exceptional.<\/p>\n\n \u2022<\/span> Compatible with major software\/operating systems \u2022<\/span> Unable to reset to default settings Please don’t let the short name of this tablet fool you into thinking it has very little to offer in terms of photo editing and graphics functions. On the contrary, the\u00a0XP-Pen Artist 15.6<\/a> has plenty of great features, a high-spec display and is compatible with all your favorite platforms and graphics software.<\/p>\n Let’s start with those first because a concern which is often raised about tablets like this is whether it can be used with a specific operating platform. The obvious ones are Windows and Mac OS, and, in both cases, it is compatible.<\/p>\n In terms of graphics and editing software, then you are literally spoiled for choice as you can use all the major ones such as Illustrator, Photoshop, Painter, Clip Studio and even Gimp plus, there are many others in case none of these are what you plan to use.<\/p>\n Now that we have taken care of operating systems let\u2019s look at some of the more practical matters you will want to consider. First is the weight which in the case of the XP-Pen artist is 3.2 lbs., which is more than some tablets we have looked at but is still light enough to make it extremely portable.<\/p>\n It also comes with a good array of attachments and extras such as an HDMI to Mac adapter cable, replacement nibs for the drawing pen, a pen stand and there’s even a cleaning cloth for the screen. It can also be switched between right and left-hand use.<\/p>\n Talking of the screen, this is one of the biggest appeals of this tablet especially when it comes to editing photos. The tablet’s graphics driver allows it to have a high-resolution 4K screen with all the sharp images which that generates. It also has a 178\u00b0 degree of visual angle, making it easier to see whichever way you are looking at it, exceptional contrast, and vivid colors which will all enable you to edit your photos to a professional standard.<\/p>\n\n \u2022<\/span> Very thin![\"Huion](\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31u0zgMhEvL.jpg\")
