Do the new Wacom tablets replicate the image on its screen or do they just show the pen on the computer screen as in their much older models. I recall Wacom's introduction of a tablet that did replicate the image on its screen for direct editing, but the price was astronomical at the time.

I have the Wacom Intuos pen and touch "small", it works great and it's all most people need. I got the small size because of some reviews from people on here and glad that Is did, the med would have been too awkward to use.


Same here. Been using them ever since they first came into the market. :thumbup:

I bought the Cintiq Companion for my daughter for her High School grad. present. Pretty pricy, but very cool to use.

I am considering the purchase of a Wacom tablet for editing photos. What are your thoughts? I don't understand the different features of their Bamboo and Intous lines. Which would be best?


Intuos medium is my suggestion.

Yes, it's an input device. It may connect via a USB port, or wirelessly, depending on the model. Think of it as a pen type replacement for a mouse. But, whereas a mouse works on your regular work surface, the "pen" is used on the surface of the "tablet" that is on your desk. It's much like the touch pad on most laptops, but instead of using your finger to move the cursor, you use a pressure sensitive stylus.

Don't confuse it with a tablet such as an iPad, which is more computer like.

Thank you for the education.

I started out with the intous small pen and touch. After getting my feet wet I upgraded to the medium PRO. The main difference is the pro has more levels of pen sensitivity and has 8 programmable buttons and the wheel which facilitates easily changing brush sizes and hardness. The pen area is bigger and requires more arm vs just wrist movement on the small. There is also a small pro this has 6 programmable buttons instead of the 8. If you do a fair amount of graphics work ie post processing particularly in photoshop I would strongly consider the pro and if you can get by with 2 less programmable buttons go for the small it is easier to cover the screen with just wrist movement vs arm movement for the medium or large. You can get the small pro for not much more than the intous pen touch...
