    Does anyone use one for editing/pp? If so, is it worth the investment?

    i have tried a couple of cheap ones, and they are a false economy

    just buy a wacom, they just work right

    if you can stretch one of the new intuous 4 range would be very good

    I have a A5 wide intuos 3 and its very very good

    I bought a Trust cheapie from Argos…I don’t see why I would have wanted to spend more on something that does the same job. I use both a mouse and the tablet as I’m left handed (tablet) and got used to using a mouse in the right hand and find it more than useful on PS.

    great – thanks for the replies everyone.

    Anyone have any comments about how well they work for Lightroom?

    I’m a lefty as well, so maybe I’d be able to do all kinds of magic.

    Steve, any reason for an A4 – or is the A5 well big enough?

    just ordered a Wacom Intuos4 Medium A5 – looks the business. I’m sure I’ll regret not buying one much sooner.

    thanks again

    FYI – is was 320* delivered from dabs.ie

    edit* – I’ve been asked about the price from dabs – apologies for not making stating this, but that price is with a business account. Sorry for misleading anyone.

    I found in terms of size its fine, i use it with 2 24″ monitors, dont use a mouse and use the tablet for everything

    Alan i tried a couple of those cheep tablets and found the difference is amazing between it and the wacom, from an accuracy and feel point of view

    I’ll have a look so Steve. As far as I was concerned as long as it worked but obviously there is a notable difference going by the reviews.

    Cheers,

    Alan.

    €50 Wacom – pic suggests it’s a Bamboo….

    Any feelers as to whether this is a good buy and whether it would actually help at all ?
