I'm thinking about buying one of these units. Question is that if you are using one.........do you like it......is it easy to use?

I love mine, it's real easy , same as using a pencil. Will never go back to the mouse.

You must give yourself at least a week of use to get use to using the tablet but once you get the hang of it you'll never look back.

I've been using the Wacom Tablet for many years, just a short learning curve but once your hooked you'll never go back to a mouse except for,high volume quick editing.

they have many different models. Which one is best for our type of work? I'm not a pro, but do a fair amount of editing. Use camera raw and ps.

Use it all the time and love it. Type "Wacom" into the search function. No need to repeat what has been posted many times.

For most, the Small version is all you need.

Captain C is right, if you are only doing photographic work the small tablet is fine but if you do any sketching like I do the medium is better. If you use dual screens the medium allows you to split the tablet as well so you can work off both screens at the same time.

I recommend Small Touch version. For normal use the touch feature replicates a mouse without having to deal with the absolute position feature of the pen. For photo work the pen is great.

Love it, so yes...I like it. Easy to use? Not at first, more getting used to using one... It is now after using for a few years, there is a sizable learning curve. Especially if your not eye / hand coordinated. If it matters, I use a large (for a 3 monitor spread) and a medium for my 17" laptop, (could have been a small). I like the size of the tablet matching the size of medium, like when I draw on paper...feels more natural...

I love my wacom Intuos Pro medium tablet. I followed the advice, don't use your mouse for a week. It paid off but to be honest I found the tablet to be very natural right from the beginning. Have fun with it!!!

Like most here, I love mine. However, there is a learning curve and it is EASY to get discouraged and go back to what you are used to (the mouse). Once you get used to the tablet, you will feel uncomfortable on a mouse.

So easy a child can use it. Period.

Absolutely, a child can use anything they get their hands on...how well they use it and what they do with it is another thing.
