Woa, I just purchased the Wacom Intuos pen and touch model about 2 hours ago. I can see that this is going to take some time getting used to. It is definitely a pardigm shift for me from using a mouse. Hopefully I will be able to get on top of it. I am glad I took Tom's advice and bought the small one as I could imagine how much more hand movement would be involved with a medium or large one.

I'm envious of you all's knowledge of all this hardware. I went to utube and watched a tutorial and right you are Sydney that would take on another learning curve but looks like it would be fun. Now let me show my ignorance ,,was this designed strictly for use with a Laptop or is it used as well with a desktop/tower application?

dick, a graphics tablet can be used with a laptop or a desktop; just like a mouse.

I have an older Wacom Intuous 3 also the small one. At the time of purchase I got 2, different sizes, and preferred the smaller one and returned the larger. I also found the larger one needed a lot more hand and arm movement. I think unless one is doing long sweeping brush painting that needs lots of room the smaller one is the way to go. Plus it takes up less desk space.

I have a medium sized Wacom Intuous Pen and Touch and love it. Despite my not sitting at a desk to work (I usually end up on the sofa) it works great for me. Agree with others though that the large one would be too much hand movement across the surface.

I'm not sure I would want one as I'm not clear at the moment just what it does and how. I'll have to do some utube searches and see it in action.

If you do a lot of retouching and work in PSE/LR etc it might be worth getting a tablet. If however, you batch process your photos just for look and feel and don't do a lot of detailed work there may be no advantage to having a tablet. There are lots of articles out there discussing the pros and cons of these tablets, so have a rummage around to see what people say. There really is no right or wrong answer here, just a matter of preference and workflow. |

Tom, Did your Intuous come with Artrage Studio? If so, did you install it and how did you do it because I can't see any exe files on the disk to install it?
