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

2005-11-30 by Steve Kale

It comes with a mouse and pen.  So my pen sits in the cradle provided and my
mouse sits on the tablet.  When I start a retouching session I push the
mouse off the active area of the tablet and pick up the pen.  The pen can
just lie on the tablet when not in use if you like but the mouse and pen are
mutually exclusive ie can't be used at the same time.  So for general use my
mouse is there when I want it.  Exactly the same as using a mouse and mouse
pad.
