I tossed the included mouse after finding it left on the tablet too many
times...the wife was not very happy about that.

It goes without saying (so why am I writing this?) that anyone doing
serious image editing should be using a tablet; you'll wonder how you
ever did what you did with a mouse.
To that end Wacom is the only game in town.
For a really good time ask your friends to try it...it's funny how
many people look as if they've never held a pencil in their lives. My
favorites are the ones who stick out their tongues the first few times.

Geniegraphics to get finished enough to work on so somebody much
better than I could correct all the inane stuff AD’s had me shoot
under the guise of ‘good art direction’.
The first time I saw a tablet was in 1983, and it was then that I
knew all my ’studio skills’ were obsolete. All I could think about
was how to get rid of (sell) the 800 sheets of 8x10 film I either had
in the fridge or on order so I could always shoot 4x5 which fit
nicely on the scanner and which looked no different to the scanner.

I have been using a tablet since 1988 on a Quantel paintbox and
I can't even imagine not having one. Cintiq I don't like
because I am used to not seeing my hand in front of me at this
point from regular tablet use. They are also a little slower
then normal Wacoms. So you get a slight lag in response. My
tablet is also wireless so I can pretty much be in whatever
position like like. thats not really an option with a cintiq.
Its take about 2 weeks of steady use to get used to using it
but once you are used to it pretty much you won't ever want to
use a mouse ever again for graphics.
I’ve been using a Wacom tablet prototype since before you born
Randy and I can’t imagine not having one now. The Cintiq was not
the same as my hand was always getting in the way. I had already
tied one elsewhere, but I could’t get it to fit my way of
working. First of all the Wacom tablet is light and the Cintiq
isn’t.
