Graphic tablets

[Mogsy]

Hello All,

although I have finally updated my PS to CS5 I'm still stuck in the dark ages using a mouse - As I'm getting more into PS and (hopefully) improving I've realised that to unleash its full potential I need a graphics tablet - Not to mention my aching arms / wrist from using a mouse but that might be just an age thing

I'm thinking of getting a Wacom CTL-460 Bamboo one (reviews I've seen have been good up to now), has anyone else got one of these or any other similiar/other models that they could recommend?

Thanks in advance

Hi mogsy. My daughter uses that for her design works. It's good .

Off course, if you're really looking for a good one - INTUOS & CINTIQ . Pricey, tho......

Thanks mate, I'm hovering over the "buy" button now so think I'll get that one for now and in the future invest in one of the Intuos ones, had a look at those before but yeah... Pricey

thanks again

Amazon or e-bay? I got that for her 2 months ago at Amazon... $95++ .... with free extra styluses, case and 1 design book.

I have an Intuos4 and a Bamboo Touch which I think is the same one you're looking at minus the touch feature.
They're on different desks for different computers but I like them both.

The Intuos is larger and that's a big advantage but any tablet is better than the mouse.

Thanks Steve, yeah sick of using a mouse

I bought it from Ebay dv8 - £35.00 - but no extras, still cheaper than the main UK retailers though

Wife bought me the Intuos4 only familiar with that but I love it, no need to experiment with others Intuos4 rocks!

This is really cool! I saw one of these on the TV, some guy using it to sketch a motorcycle.. Is it for Photoshop only? Is it ok to use it using windows OS?

Well, finally got it and have to say... It's great! A bit strange at first, I think I was treating it like a new born baby at first and was quite scared and tense when using it! lol. But now I've relaxed a bit more with it I'm very impressed, bye bye mr mouse

Thanks again, as always, for the helpful tips guys
