Drawing tablets have always been a necessary tool for photo retouchers but just about everyone can benefit from incorporating one into their workflow. Now the new Huion HS64 is a great affordable entry-level option. I first started using a drawing tablet in high school as a graphic artist and it took me a long time to get used to it. When I started working as a photo retoucher it quickly became the most important tool I used. I can not imagine doing any photo editing without my large tablet or Microsoft Surface Pro and I use one or the other every single time I edit whether in Photoshop or Lightroom. I consistently recommend getting a tablet to photographers who ask me how they can speed up or improve their editing. I firmly believe when mastered it is an essential tool for professionals.
