When editing pictures, is it easier to use a mouse or a touchpad?

Question

I feel like i have a hard time using the touchpad on my laptop especially when drawing. I could connect a mouse to my laptop, but would it be easier?

Answer 1

yes connecting a mouse is a lot simpler and gives you more control I recommend getting a usb or regualr ps/2 compatible mouse.

Answer 2

Yes!!!! But really, it is so much easier to not have to hold down buttons and make sure the touchpad doesn't get bumped etc... It could really s***w up what your doing so by all means plug in a mouse....

Hope This Helps!

Answer 3

Mouse. Try working one pixel at a time with a touchpad.

Answer 4

get a mouse because sometimes the touchpad doesn't move exactly the way or direction you want it to go.

Answer 5

yeah, mouse is DEF. easier.

Answer 6

I'd agree - add a mouse to your laptop or use a PC.

Answer 7

It's a matter of personal preference.  If you want to spend some time practicing with the touchpad, you may find that you prefer it over a mouse.

Personally I am a total mouse user, the idea of trying to do detailed photo edits with a touchpad does not amuse me.
