Graphire vs. Intuos3: The Intuos3 is definitely the better of the two here, but is it something an amateur requires?

Unless your drawing very detailed website images I'd think you'd be okay with either. You may lose a bit of accuracy, a few shortcut buttons and some sensitivity when you push down but it doesn't really seem like you'd use the features anyway.

Intuos is a highly pressure sensitive tablet. If you're just doing mid level work you're probably better of using a graphire instead. I find intuos to be more of an illustrator's tablet than a digital touch up.

Although the capabilities are virtually the same as the TI83's, I think the the interface is much better in Casio, specially when you are working with graphs

Honestly, at first i didn't liked it at all. But now im kind of get used to sketchbook pro, The wacom apps are really awful. (excuse my english, hope you understand me)

Be sure that the driver for the intuous4 is installed, and that the computer can find a supported tablet on the system. If not go to wacom.com, download the latest driver, install it. Also I find that I often have to go to the services directory, open the "standard" frame, scroll down to Wacom Professional Service and restart it. For some reason when Photoshop loads, the pen pressure sensitivity etc. still doesn't work until I do the Services thing. You can see next to brush palette a triangle with a ! in it meaning it is not functioning properly.

I highly recommend Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. It is the easiest program to pick up. The tools and interface are a snap to learn. I've had the 2012 edition and currently have the 6th edition and they just keep getting better. All the brushes, pens, pencils just look more natural. Plus it's cheap compared to photoshop and adobe illustrator. I believe I paid 40$ each for both versions. They just came out with the 7th wich I am planning to upgrade soon. Go on youtube and watch what people can do with this program. It's amazing and beautiful. You will instantly want to buy it as soon as you finish the video.

No. It's not the best software, most people on blogs recommend upgrading. I still use sure cuts alot. It crashes frequently and is not the most user friendly thing I've ever used but a few hours of youtube/blog reading can get it up and running. Windows only.

I have an Intuos 3 and it had to be connected direct to the computer. I would see what Intuos recommends

Believe me - compared to Photoshop this is EASY to use.......once you focus on the kinds of things you want to do with it (it can do many things!), you'll probably find it more user-friendly.....I know I did!

You are absolutely correct, Brian. The video with the D3S is very good and certainly exceeding web requirements, but I bought the D3S because of its high ISO performance and overall image quality. By the way, I don't think DxO has rated the D3S yet. Number 4 behind the P60, D3X and P45 is the plain-old (and great) D3. I think the D3S will come in slightly higher than the D3 due to ISO performance.

The pen input is really nice for Adobe Creative suite. You'll have to download addition drivers from Wacom. So from that perspective it would be a great PS tool. But if I were to go that route I would rather spring for a core i5 surface pro 3. A traditional laptop should be more powerful dollar for dollar but you don't get the wacom digitizer.

Well the Tap is more comparable to an iPad for starters, it has a processes and runs software. The Cintiq 12WX needs to be hooked to a computer... I'm sure the Cintiq has greater pressure sensitivity... but this really is like comparing apples to oranges.

I own both devices, one is not even remotely like the other. The Orbweaver is wonderful for gaming, but the 3D mouse is an incredible design that allows you to almost feel like you are handling the model you are working on. If you have never used a 3D mouse and do CAD or animation design in 3D, you need to buy the 3D mouse, it is awesome.

this one will give you absolute cowitness，you need the high profile for lower 1/3 cowitness，and i assume you are using a micro reddot like me。if you are using like aimpoint pro，it might be different

The Wacom Intuos3 tablet does not display anything on the tablet itself; you have to get used to watching the PC screen as you're moving the pen over the surface of the tablet.Wacom does put out the Cintiq line of tablets which DO display your image right on the tablet itself, but of course these are much more expensive. The cheapest of these will set you back a thousand dollars, and even then, some of the people who have used the cheapest Cintiq seem to regard it as a beta product, a little rough around the edges. (There is a better Cintiq tablet, but it costs around $2000.)

iWork is great with ppt, vivalarevolution. Only thing is that Keynote is so far advanced beyond PowerPoint so some of the amazing transitions won't carry over. To be perfectly frank, OpenOffice.org sucks compared to MS Office and iWork.

Going from the Wacom Intuose (previously the bamboo) to the Intuos Pro was every bit worth it. Some may not realize just how much of a difference there is between 1024 and 2048 levels of pressure but it is night and day! The level of control I get out of the pro version blows me away. I don't do work in CS6 as I switched from That to Manga Studio 5 and Paint Tool Sai for my artwork but I am 100% sure it will make a huge difference in PS just the same as those programs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you can afford the Pro, don't waste your money on anything less.
