A lil advice

I’m in the process of purchasing a graphics tablet to use with PS. I’ve come
across hundreds of brands and models.

I’m a hobby PS user and just for photo touch up and restoration.

What brands are of the better quality(not looking to spend a fortune)?

I imagine that 4×5 would be a little small , but I don’t think 8×12 is really needed either. What would be a good size for my needs?

Does anyone know of a retailer that carries these items in stock?(rather go
pick it up than order and ship)

Wacom. Durable, and excellent driver support.

The larger tablets are for people used to working on paper. Trained graphic artists use large sweeping motions while drawing that require the bigger tablet. Scribblers like myself are happy with the 4×5 size, which costs less and saves desk space.

I haven’t seen them in stores. Maybe someone else will chime in on that one.

As an extension to that question, when does one generally make the break from mouse to table? In other words, what level work generally justifies it? I have mild-moderate carpel-tunnel syndrome, so I’m considering it.
