So, for those of yu who do a lot of work in photoshop/illustrator...

Is there some sort of better mouse that you use that allows more detailed moves?

I have been having a heck of a time with my work issue Dell mouse "lassoing" things and such, and I am wondering if it is my manual dexterity, or perhaps the mouse. I feel like I could do better with a stylus type thing of some sort, but I do not think work would pay for that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Most professionals use a Wacom tablet rather than a mouse.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I second Tom. Get a Wacom tablet of some sort.

Yeah, those tablets are essential for any sort of serious Photoshopping.

Thank you for the recs. Maybe I can buy one myself (the web designer does not have one, so I doubt they would give one to me)

flea's rule for work: NEVER buy stuff for yourself. I mean, seriously. If they do not want to shell out for it, YOU do not need to make up the difference yourself, unless you are making Big Bank (in which case they usually shell out for stuff anyway.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
