wacom tablet
 

are any of you guys using these to edit pics or anything? i just bought one two nights ago and love it.

they're sick, i want one... just figure i should spread out the equipment purchases so i dont become completely overwhelmed with new stuff to learn how to use properly.

I have one but I have to get used to the ppointer being all over the screen when I move the tablet.

yea i still have alot of learning and reading on all the possibilities of it. i bought the 4x6 intuos 3 tablet cuz i liked the more options it has like its more sensitive and the tilt feature stuff. now when i get bored the corel painter program that came with it is alot of fun to draw, paint and all kinds of other stuff on. and on photoshop it makes selecting things sooo much easier than the mouse

I use my 4x5 Graphire3 tablet all the time. It is so much better than the mouse. I'll get a larger Intuos tablet eventually. They are worth the time it takes to learn how to use them. As for the cost, the Graphire4's are about $100. Even a 6x8 Intuos3 is about $300. Compare that to the cost of a good monitor or a good lens, and they don't seem too expensive either. Especially since you will use them all the time.

Glad to hear people like them, I am buying my girlfriend a 9x12 Intuos3 as a graduation gift. Now the question is who's ponied up the cash for the Cintiq 21ux, that thing is pure sex.
