Wacom Tablet - Do You Use One?
Do you use a Wacom Tablet? or just a regular mouse?

I find it very frustrating trying to apply masks because it's so difficult to make accurate selections.

I use both, but mainly the mouse only when I'm building a path, the Wacom is very useful, the brush tool, the mouse, for me anyway, gives me more control when adding to a path. Are you familiar with the pen tool?

I've used the pen tool on my friend's wacom tablet, and though it will take some getting used to it just seems like it can be more accurate than a mouse. I've been trying to decide for a while whether it would be worth investing in a tablet for my casual use of photoshop.

I just have a small Wacom tablet, I actually prefer this size to what we had at the TV station, that thing took up too much desk space. BTW, I'm just a casual user now. Mine is just a 4x5 tablet, works just fine, had it for probably 8 years now. Maybe you could pickup a used one cheap. Oh, don't try using a tablet instead of a mouse, my first computer, we couldn't figure out how to have both, so I chose the tablet, big mistake, finally got it to work!

I use a mouse. I haven't found anything yet (crossing my fingers) that I have been limited with by using one.

Once you use a tablet for the brush tool, you'll never go back to the mouse for that, believe me.

Nope. Chances are, now that I'm at work, I won't be able to either..

I'll definitely see it later though!

I lied. I can see it. Now I want to see more. Grab your camera and "get snappy.."



Great looking ride. I'm jealous. I want a new X.

I know this is off topic, but man, do I like this new car, everything about it! If you go buy a new car, tell them I want some commission!

Got a Wacom Tablet a few months back, haven't had much time to play with it, though.

One person I train at Apple says that using a mouse in photoshop is like using a potato to draw. I couldn't stop laughing.
