Here more info on the Wacom Graphire 3.
Easier to edit your picture by using a pen instead of the mouse. You can use it to draw just like a real pen. The harder you push down the heavier or thick the line. Helps with detailed work.

These are great, and are especially useful for fine touch-ups and masking. In addition they are far more ergonomic than a mouse -- save yourself wrist, elbow, and shoulder problems and get one. I have two tablets (almost 10 years old), but they only work on Macs, so I might even get one myself. |

How much ink do you get? And what colours?
Sorry guys just joking. I personally use an Intuos and do not rate the graphire in comparison.
It does however look like a very good deal. |

I think you'll be fine with PS 6/W98. For what you are doing (masking and minor touch-up), I don't think you need to spend extra on the Intuos models; the Graphire should be fine. As always, it really depends on your budget and priorities. If you want to use it for artwork creation, painting, etc. then the more expensive/larger model might be worth it. Or, if you can still get one for $49, get that to try and buy a better one if your decide you need it.
Gordon also recently posted in another thread about using Channels to create masks, thereby mostly avoiding the need for drawing/painting them at all. You might search the forums for that as well.
I've never used any tablet myself except for an old (1996) Wacom 4x5 tablet, so I can't really comment on the larger tablets -- I'm guessing they'd be even cooler -- but still highly recommend them, for the ergonomic advantage if nothing else. The Graphire used to come bundled with Painter -- a program with some of the most "naturalistic" painting brushes and filters -- for a real extra bonus. |

I think they started at $99, so that is still good. I think I paid about $129 in 1996 dollars ... but they still work. |
