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.

Why WPPI 2019 in Las Vegas Should Be Your Next Destination Conference
One of the best investments any photographer can make for their business is in education. There is always new gear, techniques, and knowledge to learn about and there is no better way than a fun destination conference. WPPI held each year on the Las Vegas strip is all about fun, education, and the destination.
Last year was the first time the WPPI Expo was held at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino location and it was amazing. WPPI has always been known for being a fun and exciting destination conference for photographers, and the move to Mandalay Bay took it to the next level. On February 25 - March 1, the conference will be held at Mandalay Bay and it's looking like an even better time this year... and WPPI is giving Fstoppers' readers a Free Expo Pass.
