I've decided to get a tablet but I'm confused by the options. The usual photographic applications and I do a bit of painting in photos that need it. Since I've used a mouse for so long I'm thinking a smaller one will work best, maybe a 4 x 6. In shopping I see different models, Intuos, etc. What does one offer over the other? Any info would be appreciated.
Most people (Many?) seem to like the smaller tablets best. In my case the 4 x 6 Intuos (1024 pressure levels) works better than the 6 x 8 Graphire3 Wireless (512 pressure levels). Desk space is a problem with the larger tablets which do appeal to those who went to art school and were taught to draw with large, sweeping lines; but I work with smaller strokes and am completely happy. I do like the larger pressure level choice of the Intuos (1024) rather than the 512 levels of the Bamboo and Graphire3. YMMV
But it really saves on the carpal tunnel bit; having had carpal surgery on both wrist and elbow before I gravitated to the tablet, I can only say I wish I had gone to the tablet much sooner.
