I use a Wacom graphire3 with 4x5 inch active area. I have not had a chance to use a larger one... larger ones promising greater ease of use, of course. ...but --- and I have heard this from other people as well --- the 4x5 size is very convenience for much editing because you can reach all parts of the 4x5 screen with every little movement of your hand. Finger movement is often sufficient. I haven't had any difficulty retouching photographs with it as long as I set the speed as slow as possible (and the acceleration as high as possible). Even if the larger sizes were useful, I would like to have the speedy 4x5 as well. Whatever you get, give it a fair chance. If you're accustomed to a mouse it will take you several days or even weeks before you aren't "all thumbs" with it. Myron > I am looking to get a graphics tablet for Photoshopping.
