After posting this image http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=14974One or two people enquired about a graphic tablet so here is a brief review that may be of help to one or two people who may well be considering making a purchase :shrug:
I must say I have found it immediately easier to use than I had imagined.
There are plenty of customisable options on the tablet that I have yet to fully explore but the default settings are fine.
The option to map the working area to whatever I wish to use is very good and as I work with two monitors I can have this mapped to work over both, one or a set working area.....all easily changed to choice in the settings menu
The pen feels comfortable to hold and work with.....again there are options to customise the way it operates.
I use CS2 and this offers me endless brush options including changing the pen pressure etc
An additional (hasty) purchase I made was the airbrush
I think the £109 would have been better spent elsewhere but I will stick with it as it may well come in handy in the future.
The mouse that came with the tablet I have used very little and doubt I will actually use it over the pen.
Obviously a lot of editing can be done with a normal PC mouse which I have managed to do for a number of years but it now just feels that little more natural and precise using the tablet.
Finally I have no problem fully recommending a graphic tablet........although it is difficult for me to recommend this particular model (£219.00) over the cheaper ones that I believe do the same job just as well but I wouldn't swap the one I have
