I’ve a Wacom Intuos 2 – don’t use mouse much, mainly the pen. Much handier, but if you have any difficulty with pen handling also, how about drawing a path and converting it to selection? Whatever pointing method you use, you just need to click on the edge and drag adjust the curve as you go along it, very precise (can be slower though). Doesn’t matter if the pointer wanders in between the clicking, and you can return to adjust and add points whenever you need to. Zooming in helps here too. You can save and return to modify the path too as needed, making new selections from it.
Personally I’ve had an annoying problem with my I2 and PS6 (don’t know anyone else having this) – the pen keeps crashing Photoshop suddenly, so I have to use the mouse 🙁
Have the latest drivers and updates, did re-installs and fresh installs, on two computers (98SE and XP Pro). No help. Suggestions, anyone?
I am elderdly and find it difficult to follow edges with a mouse accurately, would a graphics pad help? ifso has anyone any suggestions on what might be a good choice
