I've just splashed out and bought my first tablet - been thinking about it for ages and finally went for it. Picked up an Intuos 4 Medium (taking on board the old adage of buy cheap buy twice).

Anyone got any useful tips for a tablet newbie?
 
Customise the buttons for your most used keyboard shortcuts, especially the ones that use 3-4 keys.

Don't give up on it, it may feel weird to start with.

I customise the settings for different apps, so it behaves slightly differently in Photoshop than in Lightroom, but that's a thing for once you've got used to using it.

Do they really make that much difference ? i've had one for about a year and not got around to using it, i really must have a play, and note to self i must stop buying stuff and leaving it in the box :D

They really do make that much difference! Using a mouse for Photoshop is like drawing with a bar of soap :)

Mark - PM me your email address & I'll send you a PDF that outlines the most frequently used settings for an Intuos4 with Photoshop :thumbs:
