They are one of the cheapest sources for cables and adapters for computer, audio, and video equipment. Recently I bought an <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&#038;cp_id=10828&#038;cs_id=1082802&#038;p_id=4564&#038;seq=1&#038;format=2">LCD monitor wall mount</a> from them and was very impressed with it for the price paid. Well, my good friend Jacci from <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://desktoppub.about.com">About.com Desktop Publishing</a> just informed me that Monoprice also sells their own brand of graphics tablets. I had no idea! <p> They list <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=108&#038;cp_id=10841">4 different sizes</a> on their web site, although at the moment all are out of stock with expected time of arrival of 11/30/09 for the two larger models. The 8 by 6 inch model has 14 user reviews on Monoprice.com with a very high satisfaction rating. The tablet comes with 2 pens and extra nibs for the pens. Driver software is included for both Mac and Windows. <p> I have had both <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/hardware/gr/digiprotablets.htm">good</a> and <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/hardware/fr/cybertablet6400.htm">bad</a> experiences with budget-brand graphics tablets, but the Monoprice name and Jacci's recommendation gives me some confidence that these could be a good low-cost alternative to a <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/lr/wacom_tablets/28424/4/">Wacom tablet</a>.

Ghosts and goblins, fairies and princesses, spooks and vampires, it's all part of Halloween fun. The idea is to create a Halloween image--spooky or cute--we'll leave that up to you. So have some fun, use your imagination, and see if you can give us a delight or a fright! <a href =http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/a/258798.htm>Read more...</a><p style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;padding:.5em;"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/10/25/graphics-challenge-trick-or-treat-4.htm">Graphics Challenge: Trick or Treat</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/">About.com Graphics Software</a> on Sunday, October 25th, 2009 at 21:45:15.</p><p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/10/25/graphics-challenge-trick-or-treat-4.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/10/25/graphics-challenge-trick-or-treat-4.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://graphicssoft.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/10/25/graphics-challenge-trick-or-treat-4.htm&zItl=Graphics Challenge: Trick or Treat">Email this</a></p> http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/10/25/graphics-challenge-trick-or-treat-4.htm Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:45:15 +0000 2009-10-25T21:45:15Z http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/10/22/adobe-lightroom-3-public-beta.htm Adobe Lightroom development has always been heavily fueled by user feedback, and now it's your chance once again to preview and give feedback on the next version.

The Photoshop.com Mobile app allows you to edit and share photos directly from your iPod touch or iPhone. It connects to your online Photoshop.com account if you have one, or you can use it to edit the photos stored directly on your device. If you don't already have a Photoshop.com membership, the free basic plan will give you 2GB of online storage. A Plus membership is $50 per year and gives you 20GB of storage. <p> I don't have an iPhone, but I have been playing with the app on my iPod touch and I think Adobe did a really nice job with this app. I can access all the photos synced to Photoshop.com from Photoshop Elements, as well as the photos I have synced to the iPod's storage. You can also upload photos from your device to your Photoshop.com account--a useful feature for those who have an iPhone with built-in camera. <a href =http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/a/258772.htm>Read more...</a><p style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;padding:.5em;"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/10/14/photoshop-com-mobile-app-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch.htm">Photoshop.com Mobile App for iPhone and iPod Touch</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/">About.com Graphics Software</a> on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 at 12:28:12.</p><p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/10/14/photoshop-com-mobile-app-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/10/14/photoshop-com-mobile-app-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://graphicssoft.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/10/14/photoshop-com-mobile-app-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch.htm&zItl=Photoshop.com Mobile App for iPhone and iPod Touch">Email this</a></p> http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/10/14/photoshop-com-mobile-app-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch.htm Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:28:12 +0000 2009-10-14T12:28:12Z http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/10/12/graphics-challenge-autumn-harvest.htm This week's graphics challenge theme is <strong><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://forums.about.com/ab-graphicssoft/messages?lgnF=y&#038;msg=9875.1">Autumn Harvest</a></strong>.
