Wouldn't do editing without one. Been using them for 15 years. Currently use a 9x12 Wacom Intuos and a 20" Wacom Cintiq. Using a mouse for PP is like trying to paint with a rock.

I do and love it. The only reason I do not use it for all my editing is my limited workspace. I have the medium Intuos 4. It came with a nice bundle of software and included an offer for CS5 for $300. I got both for less than what I was going to pay for just CS5.

I would LOVE the Cintiq. Saw them in action and they are incredible!

I have the Wacom Intuos 3 and have tried using it with Photoshop but I just can't get into the hang of it.

Ditto!

I tried using a tablet years ago and my experience was not good. I'm pretty darn good with my mouse.

Bamboo tablet.

It's not the Intous 4 but it does the job.

I so want one, but am afraid my impatience would get the best of me and I wouldn't use it.

Felt the same until I played with it in Lightroom and Photoshop. It's a great thing to use once you get use to it.

Yes. Intuos 4. A nice added benefit is my carpal tunnel went away. Wouldn't go back to a mouse for anything.
