Hey guys! You know, I've been trying to do some "serious" skining lately, but I can't even do a straight line with my mouse! And no, it doesn't have anything to do with my hand coordination, for when I'm at college or drawing freehand it is a piece of cake! And here is the strangest thing: it is an optic wireless mouse from Logitech! I can't quit afford a new mouse right now, for I am saving for a MX-700, so anyone knows a way to get around this? I've tried to lower and highten the mouse sensitivity, but to no avail. I want to know if there's a way to at least emulate a good mouse in PS. And one more thing: how much is it costing a CHEAP tablet? Is it worth the money spent? Thx for reading all this, guys, and thx in advance! :D |

if ur mouse is that bad, get a normal one, dont waste ur money getting an above average mouse |

The problem is that the computer itself is a little far away from the place where the mouse stays, so a wire mouse is a little out of question... but I may be able to change that a little. Should I get an optic mouse? Any ideas on the model would be appreciated. And about the tablet: is it worth the money spent? How much does a cheap but good one cost? |

That's why I asked about a good but cheap (cost-benefit realation). |

well, i dont see why its such a big deal, not being able to draw a straight line with ur mouse (i have never been able to do that either). Most programs have functions to do it for you. In Photoshop (for example) you can click a point, then hold down shift and click another point. Voila, a straight line between the points. I hope this can be of use to you. ;) |

Hehehehe, thx, but that was only an example. I can't do anything accurately... |

Use your keyboard! I cant draw straight lines with mouse, pencil or paintbrush, so I dont see why it is such a problem. If you REALLY need a straight line, use the straight line tool. |

if you really want to skin without doing squares instead of lines you can buy a drawing tablet. but my optical mouses does it , maybe that the ball inside a mouse causes crappy lines , i had that problem before. |

if you spend less then like 80 bucks on any kind of tablet, then its usually a piece of shit. My 4x5 Wacom is pretty low on the market and it was 100 |

Hmmm... I see... Kinda expensive, but I think I can get one... Do you know of any site where I can buy that cheaper and export it? |
