Hello to all. Just a curiosity question concerning hardware...at least I think it's a hardware question. I'm not a creative artist, just a guy who likes to take images and trim a little here and there recombine and make up greeting cards for friends and family. I'm wondering if there is a piece of hardware out there that will allow you to import an image and then cut out what you don't need and save the rest. I realize that XaraX already has this function but if you have a complicated image that has a lot of curves and angles, etc. it takes forever to use the click and trace option with the mouse. It would be so much faster to just have somekind of screen that you could lay flat on your computer desk and then trace with some kind of stylus or something that would allow you to trace an image quickly and then just lift it off the original image and save it for future use. Is this naive or is the hardware just too expensive. All input will be appreciated.

Have a great day. Regards, Manny
