Maybe it's my lack of accent but those don't rhyme.

anything ending in ar would rhym with far, car, bar, star etc ;)

i have the A6 Wacom (Wah-com) (i guess thats the 4x6 to u non conformists ;) )

the size of the tablet pretty much rests on how u use your arm to draw.. if you use your whole arm to draw then you'll need something A4+, if you only use your wrist then the A6/5 will do you just fine :)

I just got a 4X6 Wacom tablet 2 weeks ago. I finally got around to installing it last night! After a few minutes of playing around with it, I'm sold!! As I do all of my editing on a laptop, I can certainly see how this will make my life sooooooo much easier!

Has anyone tried drawing vectors with a tablet? I was wondering if i got a intuous hooked up to something like corel painter which has great stylus support if i could literally draw out a curve and then edit it as a bezier. It would be so helpful for masking or hard line edges. As it is beziers are nice but take a lot of time to draw out with a SW pen tool. It would be great to draw the curve like a trace then fine tune it with the SW. Any input???

its much faster to draw paths with a tablet, you have more pixel control than with a mouse..

drawing single points and then pulling out the curve handles is much more economic than drawing a line and letting photoshop put 10 or so points for something that would prolly take 2 or 3..

The whole point of Bezier Curves is to form mathematically-pure curves using control points instead of drawing freehand. In Photoshop, you should be able to draw freehand using the lasso selection tool, then in the Paths window select "Make Work Path" and proceed from there.

thats a really bad way of making paths, Photoshop will add more points than is needed..

sounds like a yes Bobster..thats very kool. I know how the pixel vs vector thing works but i have not had a tablet yet to actually draw the path out and fine tune it. im gonna order one this week. thats excellant. too many hours have been spent drawing border vector lines in Draw then exporting into photoshop. i used to draw and ink manually with pen and paper (like a final cartoon outline) this will be very handy.
