I'm planning on buying one too, definetly a wacom!
But i can't decide between the graphire or the intuos.
And the www.wacom.com isn't a great help either.
Although it seems the graphire is more for retouching photo's and the intuos is more an allrounder. Am i correct on this?

Btw, what size are you guys using?
A6, A5 or A4?

Do i need A4 or is an A5 enough?

i actually just got my graphireII yesterday, and i love it! it's not too small (like i feared), i have pretty small strokes.

a question for you guys out there who already have tablets:

what technique do you use to create your pictures? do you lay down a solid color and then lighten/darken it? or something else?

and another question:

how do you change it so that the pressure affects the size and opacity of the brush?

thanks!

oh, and to answer another of your questions, you CAN use the graphireII for more than just retouching photos. it works great for painting and such

Murc: If you're using Photoshop, the settings for the pen should be at the top. It is on the toolbar where options like opacity, tolerance, feather, size, etc. sit, depending on what tool you are using. I believe the pen settings will be on the right side of that bar if you're using a tool where the pen settings are applicable. It might depend on what version you are using, however.
