RE: [Digital BW] Wacom Tablet for Photoshop Retouching?

2005-11-30 by John Moody

The only downside to too big, is desk space and cost, if that matters; you
can easily program the tablet to be smaller if you want shorter
hand strokes.

Best regards,

I'm also in the market for one ... will probably get a Wacom Intuos 3.

But as for size ... I'm also told that too big is not good, as you have to
pull the stylus around, rather than just use smaller movements.  My
colleagues have suggested that 4x5 is best for just retouching, 6x9 for
drawing as well.

What do those of you who've used these have to say?
