Wacom bamboo tablet

I did actually have a read through the thread but still not convinced I will get on with the tablet so would rather just get a cheap one also from reviews I read on the Internet it seems to have good marks for photo editing.
 
I got a used bamboo one in great condition for £10 with £5 p&p of Ebay - just started to use it and not yet convinced. I unplugged my mouse and am just using the tablet.

Horrendous when you start but it seems to be getting better. So far cannot see any advantages over my mouse :(
 
You only see advantages in a tablet if you are using brushes in photoshop / lightroom.

If you don't - then a mouse will be quicker anyway.
 
Well bit the bullet and purchased it so will have a go later to see how I get on the woman at pcworld said if I can't get on with it bring it back within 7 days and I'll get a refund.

I only ever use my tablet when I'm doing a lot of editing and it's brilliant. But if I had to choose between it and a mouse for everyday use, the mouse wins every time.
 
I have a Wacom Bamboo which I use with GIMP. I find it useful for detailed work, e.g. painting masks or retouching with an airbrush, but tend to use the mouse for most general operations.

I have used other devices with touch screens and found them very hit and miss. OK, pinching or spreading your fingers to zoom in and out works fine, but more complex gestures seem to require more precision than I can reliably manage to be recognised. So I certainly don't pine for touch capabilities on my tablet.
