Re: [Digital BW] OT - Preferred Intuos tablet size

2005-06-27 by Steve Smith

I have the 9x12 and have reduced ( customized )  the tablet area just a bit
in the preferences and it works great.Keeps your hand from falling off the
tablet edge when your working on the the image extremities. It really helps
make great masks and dramatically speeds the spotting process. It takes a
few days to get used to but once you are accustomed to it you will wonder
how you lived without it.
