I am not really an artist. Without a ruler, I can’t come close to a straight line, and my portraits are stick figures. I know my way around Photoshop reasonably well in a purely technical way. That is, I have used it to create and edit user interface elements, and can modify photoographs at an advanced amateur level.
I am about to delve more seriously into digital photography. I was deep into it in the 70’s, with a bedroom converted into a darkroom where I performed my magic for special effects. I am thinking of doing that again, with photoshop replacing the darkroom, and my shiny new Canon 5D camera.
I am tempted to get a Wacom tablet, to see where it can help.
Question 1: Is a tablet even useful for someone like me?
Question 2: Assuming #1 is ‘yes’, which tablet would you recommend?
Photoshop TV episode 98 ( the one shot at Photoshop World) gave a brief hype for a sexy Intuos Limited Edition 6X11, which the Wacom site says is "for serious photographers."
The $409 price tag is not out of reach, but I don’t want to spend it only to later find I don’t really use it…
