Wacom Tablets

[marinebro0306]

I've seen a few threads about this topic, but they are fairly old, so things may have changed.
I am debating getting a Wacom Tablet for Koolmoves and Photoshop. I know it works in KM, but does pressure sensitivity work in it? Also, is drawing accurate with a KM/Wacom combination? I've never tried one but I'm excited about (possibly) buying one.

Tablet I want to get------>here (http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Wacom-Graphire3-Tablet-Pen-and-Mouse-Graphite-Gray-CTE430GRCCS-/sem/rpsm/oid/80650/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do)<------
Any comments on that tablet?

We have those tablets at my school there pretty really small but they're kindof good because you can hold them like a note book. Some times the come up really inexpencive on ebay if thats what you want.

If you are working with graphics a lot then it is worth considering a decent light pen which isn't going to cost much more. The only drawback is that they will only work properly on a CRT monitor and not TFT/LCD. Or there is this solution "I-Pen" http://www.zyonshop.com/product/ipen.htm which is excellent, especially the Wi-Fi / Bluetooth version.

KoolMoves does not respond to pressure sensitivity.

I have a wacom tablet that I could sell for half of the advertised price on your link. It does work with koolmoves, but no better than a mouse. It does come with an excellent software program called painter classic and a small version of adobe. the picture that I upl0oaded was done in painter clascic

Do you mean that that particular tablet is no better than a mouse, or that all tablets are no better than mice?

If you buy the wacom tablet to use with only koolmoves, you are wasting your money. If you use other drawing programs such as painter classic and flash MX and others that are pressure sensitive then it is worth it. (Look at the demo.gif which was done with painter classic. ) I have only used the wacom so I can't comment on other pens.

I have PhotoShop, and Corel Painter comes with the tablet.

Like I said, I can sell you one for 1/2 price including postage unless you live outside of the usa. It is up to you. If you are interested, send a privite email.
