Guest Linda S Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 This is sort of a weird area, Queenie - I have a Samsung Galaxy 2 tablet and I can take pictures with the tablet and then I have a little program on it called Skitch that allows me to draw on the photo. The stylus and drawing on these types of tablet are not the best, however. I think you'd be better off with a Wacom Bamboo or other tablet and regular pen stylus, and load the pics into your computer to draw with. I have an old Wacom where you can actually print a photo, put it under the plastic top and then draw on the tablet. I works better than my little portable tablet. When I really want to know the best of something in computing, I do some exploration at cnet.com They have reviews and demos of a lot of things -- it can help you make up your mind what to buy.

Primitive1 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hi Queenie, I too asked this question not so long ago as I wanted something that I could snap a pic of and instantly draw quilting ideas on it and then print out my quilting plan to use so I wouldn't forget what I did in the top borders/corners by the time I got to the bottom. I ended up taking advantage of a sale on an i-pad and downloaded a free program called photo pen that allows me to do just this. The only thing I can't do is print from it so I email the pic to myself on my laptop and print it from there. I am happy with it and use it for other things too..

Heritage Keepsakes Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Thanks Queenie for posting this topic. I have wanted a program to overdraw on my photos for some time but couldn't find something that made sense to me. (not very computer savvy either:)) So it's thanks to this post, I am now drawing to my hearts content on my photos on my iPad!! And what's more, it's easy. Thank you also Vicki. Just love this forum!

GrandmaLKB Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Guess and I-Pad is going on my "wish list" now. I hate it when I quilt something at the top/corners of a quilt and by the time I get to the other end, I forget what I did........especially if this project runs over several days before getting finished.
