To promote easy editing of pictures, Trust's range of graphic tablets come with a tracing sheet allowing you to easily edit sections of a picture with the most accuracy possible. A great example of the features that this can offer would be taking a colour picture and overlapping it with a black and white version of the same picture and then cutting out key items releasing the colour underneath. This simple piece of editing allows for a picture to look entirely different from what a camera can achieve.

Customer Reviews
The good:
Well, it's flexible - A bonus as it goes in my Uni bag without cracking or being too bulky.
It's aapparently beer proof! Had a friend spill a pint over it and as long as it doesn't hit the main metal cover it's all dandy after a wipe - Great bit of kit!
It's small, and light. VERY portable, just what I wanted!
It's precise! Every stroke is spot on and after an hour of messing I feel completely at home with it!
The Bad:
Not alot really, still on the first battery, first nib, etc.. nothing's had to be replaced or tampered with so everything's fine for me! On occasion the touch-click doesn't work for 5-6 secs, but I believe thats an issue with my laptop as it doesn't do it on anything else but either way it's extremely rare.
Overall:
Graphic artist? Birthday present? Young or old, it's fit for everyone and after taking it to my lectures a few times, everyone now has one and it's great for my Games Development course - I have to say it's completely replaed my mouse and even if I wasn't doing a tech course, I'd still use it over a mouse now I've got it to compare them to!
*Although, gamers will still want to keep hold of a mouse for FPS, etc.. For RTS games (Command & Conquer style) this thing rocks!
Hardware-wise this seems like a reasonably durable piece of kit and I have no qualms about giving it to my 5-year-old daughter as a Christmas present for Tux Paint sessions on her Linux netbook. You wouldn't want it rattling around a school bag loose, but you could happily place it in just a cheap neoprene case and expect it to survive in a suitcase or school bag. A 1-metre USB cord is supplied and is detachable, it's a standard type A plug to MicroUSB plug so you could easily replace the cord with a longer one or use a standard USB extension cable. The tablet is 5mm thick rubber sponge mousemat material with a matt wipe-clean plastic surface. The pen feels solid enough, can't say the click buttons are particularly solid but you'll rarely use them (they're for right-click and middle-click only; for a standard left-click, you just touch the pen to the surface). The pen is wireless so takes an AAA battery (supplied); the battery holder inside the pen looks flimsy, but it has to be slim to fit inside the pen and how often will you change the battery anyway? So long as you can resist the temptation to unscrew the pen too often, it should be fine (but let's be clear, this is an electronic tool, not a builder's mate's biro). You get 2 spare pressure nibs in addition to the one already fitted to the pen, plus a basic metal gripper tool to help you change the nibs. The pen is comfortable to use and fits left or right-handed. As with all graphics tablet pens, it has to be held reasonably upright but I adapted my rather lazy drawing style easily and was perfectly happy using it for more than an hour at a time.
For under 20 quid including delivery at the time of writing this represents superb value, it equals the basic performance of a 50-quid tablet with no problem. If you're mad set on getting absolutely the most accurate pressure sensitivity then a more expensive solid tablet might be worthwhile, also if you have a huge monitor then you might want something larger. However as a companion for a netbook or laptop, or for amateur or child use, this is perfect. Plus it installs under Linux really easily despite the manufacturer not mentioning it! Oh, and it comes with Microsoft Windows drivers and an MS-Windows installation guide so I guess it works under that other operating system too.
Since I am a really bad drawer and I've been creating great drawings within 1 week, i'd have to say this is a great graphics tablet! I feel like an artist! There are no flaws! The size is fine because I zoom into my drawings anyway and I think if the drawing area was larger then it would be harder to use.
I hope this review is helpful! You really can't go wrong with the product, just don't give up if you find it difficult!
Cheapest on web. Really recommended.
