Wacom is a good choice but maybe more important is to find good model for Your needs. Think about few things: 1) What are You going to draw - it determines the size 2) Where are You going to use it - size again 3) What operating system do You use -determines particular model
answers for 1 and 2 determines the size. If You are going just to draw small sketches, some comic etc. small size tablet might be good. When You are going to use it while editing bigger images things become really difficult. Tablet becomes "too shaky". While editing bigger images better use bigger size up to 30 cm wide. It is essential especially while speed painting or similiar tasks with big resolution. I use small Bamboo One (Wacom) because of its prize and portability. Small tablet can easily fit into laptop case with my computer. 3) While using M$ Windows it's no big deal - most tablets are supplied with drivers that work under XP or Vista. Newer should have drivers for newer Windows too. While using GNU/Linux one should check whether this particular model will work with this particular distribution of GNU. For example my Bambo One CTF-430 is recognized by Debian Lenny, Debian Squeeze, but i can't use pressure. Any attempts to make it work under Fedora failed, same situation with FreeBSD. Before You buy any device it's good practice to check exactly that model, You are going to buy. Usually models older then one Year are better - it's easier to google if they work or don't work with GNU/Linux _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
