Digital BW, The Print

I asked this same question a few weeks ago and most people who responded 
recommended the 6x8 size so that's what I got and I've been glad I did. 
Unlike a "normal" mouse and mouse pad, with the Wacom tablet the pen or 
mouse will function only when they are moved around within the confines of 
the interior borders of the pad. If you move out of those borders they cease 
to work. So having a larger space within which to move the mouse or pen 
around is useful, I don't think I would have been happy with only a 4x5 
space.

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


I'm about to order a Wacom Intuos tablet, and am equivocating about the
preferred size.  I have a Graphire 4 x 5 and want to upgrade.  There is a
"show special", so I get a few bucks off the regular price.

I'll mainly be using it to draw mask outlines, as well as PS retouching,
and wonder if the 4 x 5 would suffice, or should I go for the 6 x 8, for an
extra $100.  I'm also willing to try to learn to use the tablet
exclusively, rather than the mouse.

All opinions and reasoning welcome!

Thanks...... Jack Winberg
