I figure most chop on computers, while some chop on the iphone.

Question is what other equipment can you not live without while chopping?

For me its my wacom pad. I won't do anything with out it.

Space pilot 3D, I use it 50% of the time for navigation in PS. Cool for zooming in and around. Awesome for touch ups, free hand detail work.

Plus I need to come up with random posts, so I can post pics Razz

I don't think it's required that you create random post, You just need to post in a few open threads.( i think thats right)... Huh..

BUT, since you asked. I can't chop without my screen...I tried it...it sucked... Confused
Of course i ain't "all that" with the screen. Mr. Green

Hi folks,
I have never used a graphic tablet, but I quarrel with me to buy such a needless thing! Smile

Have someone experience with this model?
What about the size and the usability?

I have a bamboo touch and a intuos 3. Bamboo fun pen should work the same as a Intuos pad, just less buttons. Bigger pad equals a lot more hand movement. Make sure you get one in a shape that looks like your screen. Drawing area is in direct relation to your screen. If you touch the middle of the pad, your pointer goes to the middle of the screen, you touch a corner on the pad, your pointer touches the corner on the screen.

IMO I would get a used Intuos 3 off of eby for under $100.

If you get one, don't get frustrated with it. It has about a 2 week learning curve to get use to it.

Far as usability goes, you will wonder how you ever got by without one after you use it.

Thanks for this helpful answer!
Maybe you're right, I will look for a used Intuos.

I honestly believe that if I hadn't took all the acid and hadn't smoked all that shit I done when I was younger, I wouldn't be the creative and imaginative person I am today.
