A tablet is not necessary to edit a picture in the same way a DSLR is not necessary to take a picture. You can take a fantastic picture on a mobile phone but if you were to use a mobile phone for wedding photography you are limiting yourself to not being able to zoom in substantially, you will be limited to not being able to shoot high iso without excessive noise or be able to shoot with wide open fast lenses for faster shutter speeds. Also you run into compatibility issues with flash and other things that help in situations where you dont know what you are turning up to. Yes you can shoot a wedding with a mobile if planned right but commercially its just not viable. When you are working professionally and time is money and if like me you had loads of school photos to clean up, yes it is almost an essential part of the kit in that regard. In summary it depends on what you are doing.

I use a graphics tablet for everything right now, not just Photoshop. I once got a battered old Wacom Bamboo tablet from a colleage to try, and I certainly had to get used to it, but when I did, there was no way back. I really think it is more comfortable for most use cases than a mouse. I also do digital art, and for that it is a no brainer. Thankfully, tablets are easy to get right now and their are options for every budget.
Have you ever used a tablet with a screen, like a Cintiq I use an Intuos Pro too, and I actually prefer it for my posture, as you looks straight on instead of down.

As usual another excellent video I think If you're a UI Designer only then u don't need Graphic Tablets apart from this whatever creative professional you're. Graphic Tablets is must needed creative tool now a days whether you're graphic designer, retoucher, digital artist, illustrator, 3D artist, motion graphic artist, editor etc. for professional if budget is not any issues then Wacom is thr best if budget plus performance both then Huion or XP-Pen is the nice choice.

Next you should do a video, going from a tablet to a pen display, i went from a Wacom tablet to a 24 4K drawing display, it made the biggest difference in the world, i work with Photoshop, Lightroom and other graphic programs, around 10-11 hours every day, when i got a tablet back in the days it made workflow a lot faster, but when taking the next step and upgrading to a drawing display, it is just crazy how much faster the workflow becomes compared to a tablet :) .

I have the same tablet , while I do often end up switching back to mouse but I must admit having a tablet give you much better accuracy , especially if you need to do delicate works , finelines , drawing hairstrands . It just does not feel quite the same with mouse but then I am also an artist so I am used to painting / drawing with pens , so I might be biased .

I own a tablet so I really didn’t need to watch this, but I watch all your videos, lol! But regarding the mapping that you discussed at around 7:34 , if you slightly hover your pen above the tablet you can see, on your screen, where the pen is going (at least on a Wacom). This feature helped me a lot when I first got mine. Another superb video!

I got a huion tablet that was like $50 with pressure sensitivity and is better than the name brands and is large as the Wacom tablet for like $300. I highly recommend drawing tablets for masking with the pen tool and makes using the brush faster. In general I use it faster than a mouse, but also recommend a drawing glove.

While there are plenty of things I can do with a mouse (in fact there are some things, like using the pen tool, that I prefer to use a mouse), I couldn't do the majority of my job without a tablet. Now if only I could get my boss to go halves on the cost of my next tablet...

I used a Citiniq Pro for many years when I was a wedding photographer. I now occasionally use my Wacom. But I'll be honest, my mouse does 99% for graphics design. That's photoshop, illustrator. And with autocad, SolidWorks, SEEElictrall, it's a big NO

I bought huion drawing tablet last year for 5k rupees around 60 dollars and it’s really good only thing I didn’t like that the surface became smooth and shiny definitely buy paper texture sheet so you will have good experience all it’s life.

I just got a tablet 1 week ago. I am learning. But like you said, it's so good when working with brush. Because I work with pen tool, this thing just changed the game how I used the pen tool. It's so accurate, fast and fun to work.

Graphics tablet for me was game changer I can create more personalised graphics and calligraphic content.
But I bought it because I wanted to get into digital drawing and graphics tablets are the cheapest to start with.

Wacom Europe just had (maybe still has) a special sale on their tablets! Less than 2 weeks ago the Intuos Pro M was at a little under 250 and included an Intuos S Bluetooth Pistachio at no extra cost!!

I've really been interested in using a tablet, but I don't want to 'break the bank' to test one out. That budget friendly Intuos line looks really appealing. Good stuff, very helpful information Unmesh!

I have been using a Wacom Tablet exclusively for the past 15 years for production artwork in the packaging industry and it is not for everyone but I absolutely love it and feel less efficient without it.

It took me a while to get used to a tablet. My fingers just couldn't adjust to using a pen after spending a decade using the traditional mouse and keyboard, but I eventually got used to it

piximperfect - I am a hobbyist that loves creating my own digital art for my projects. I think I just wouldn't be good with using any tablet for my work. For one, I can't draw at all.

I've been using Photoshop and Wacom tablets for over 25 years and this is the first I've heard that there is a replaceable sheet on top of the tablet! Thanks Unmesh.

Great summary of what to know before buying a tool some will probably never use. It's different from a simple mouse but, once tried, it's difficult to go back.
