I shot and edit on pse10, pictures of dogs at our local shelter, for the website
What kind of tablet would work best for this type of work.
I take a pic of dog....edit him in majic extractor, give him a white background and then edit the eyes, fill in around the body etc.
What kind of tablet (at the low end) would work best for this.

I've been using a Wacom a little...still have alot to learn about it. But I've used it enough to know that "bigger is better".

Wacom are the market leaders, my advice would be to go to a retailer and try the various models out that Wacom make.
That way you can find which model you are comfortable with and one that matches your budget.

I would stay with a Wacom..even a smaller sized one is better than a basic tablet and I have both. The basic tablet is little better than a mouse except the pen-like grasp allows for better control. A Wacom tablet and pen respond to pressure as well as movement. Although clearing a background doesn't require a pressure sensitive pen, working with photographs sometimes does. Why invest in something that is very limited when for a few dollars more you can have something more suitable to a photographer's overall needs?

i use a wacom intuos 4 at home on my desktops but use the bamboo $69 model for my notebooks and here at work. the bamboo is pretty awesome. takes a bit to get used to, but once you get used to using a pen......you will never go back to the mouse. i haven't used a mouse in 7 years.

My GF's daughter does graphics for a fancy wedding event planner and she uses a Wacom Bamboo at work and swears by it! We bought her a second one from B&H in NYC to use at home. She did say that it took some getting used to but if you stick with for a month, using the pen becomes second nature and is soooo much more precise than using a mouse. All of a sudden one day it feels so natural.
PS: Don't buy it at Best Buy and pay sales tax !! Go to B&H and get it free shipping and NO sales tax. Also spend the extra $40.00 and get the wireless kit so you are not tethered by wire to your computer.

At Wacom's site, there are several classifications for the Bamboo and the $69 one is the lowest priced and touted for other than graphic work. The next level is the Bamboo Capture which Wacom lists for $99 and suggests photographic use. Both of these have the smallest active areas. The next level is $199 and has a larger active area also touted for graphic/photographic use. Both of these include graphic Software packages.

So what are the big differences between the intuos and the bamboo?
