Excellent piece of equipment. I love it and makes work so much easy and fun. I encourge anyone doing graphic, web or any kind of design work to get one of these.

If you use Photoshop with a mouse but no tablet, you are not using Photoshop........2007-05-23

This is a note to amateurs; pro's already know about Wacom so no need to read. I'm an amateur photographer. I have been using Photoshop for about 7 years for photo corrections, effects, etc... I just purchased the Wacom 9x12 tablet. I now know the purpose of Photoshop brushes, pens, pencils, and similar tools. Using a mouse, you'll never discover the true power behind Photoshop. I still have volumes to learn to unleash the power behind this tablet. However, Photoshop is now making a lot more sense and is now more useful.

Notes:
1. If you never have drawn, first buy a book on drawing, some paper, pencils, etc... & enjoy getting away from the computer a few hours a week while learning a new skill. Make sure you like drawing before spending a lot of $$$. You don't have to be great, but understanding the basics is important.

2. You can download 30 day trial versions of Photoshop or Elements from the Adobe[...] site

3. You get what you pay for... Wacom & Photoshop are pricey, but they are best of the breed.

4. Although the Wacom driver software is cheesy circa 1980, it's effective. Get the latest version from Wacom[...].

5. If you are a student, buy[...] has an academic version for less than 400, free shipping, etc...

I started with a 6x8 tablet and it worked great for the 2 years that I had it. But after up-sizing my monitor to an Apple Cinema 23" HD Flat-Panel Display, I noticed a difference in precision. Upgrading to the 9x12 tablet was a smart move. Have a more 1-to-1 tablet-to-screen ratio was a smart move.

EXCELLENT! costs a little too much, well actually way too much, but it is a great product.

This is my first tablet and after reading a lot online about what to get, I chose this 9x12 because of it's good size and affordability. I'm a designer who works about 60-70 hours a week and starting having numbness in my hand from all the mousing. After a couple of weeks of getting used to the tablet, the numbness is gone and I feel like I'm working much faster now. Highly recommended.
