What WACOM tablets are you recommending?

[mrk123]

I am looking to add more weight to my gear list, and have always liked the idea of a wacom tablet to edit my photos (currently using trackpad on macbook (I find it more artistic than a mouse).
I am happy to buy used and even an older model..
What can I get away with these days?

intuos pro small.

I never felt the need for bigger one,

Bare in mind you may actually want and even need warranty on this one!

Hi Kane

I've used Wacom Intuos Pro Medium for the past 4 years and makes editing a joy and slicker.
I found it hard to adjust at first from editing with a mouse but practice/patience and then practice some more.
Once mastered you will not go back. You customise the system to suit how you work.

Hope you get sorted.

I am in the process of getting a display tablet.
I have an ordinary one, but want to edit like I am drawing on paper

I'm not saying this is a bad idea, but just consider that you will be looking down all the time, and these pens do clearly wear out the surface unless it is toughened glass, I would get the fancy ipad for those times, and for the rest just get comfortable with a regular drawing tablet. It only takes a little while for the most part.

I actually was forced into full time use of my wacom due to bluetooth mouse misbehaving with a new motherboard.
There are no real issues, other than making precise selection, where dabbing a pen always moves the cursor by a couple of pixels. Mouse is inherently more precise in this scenario. That is about the only times I want to use one.

Yes, there are pros and cons, just mentioned it in case the OP hadn't thought of it.

Other hobbies I have, I work looking down, so not an issue for me.

Wacom have recently lost face and respect, they used an AI image in a promotion for one of their tablets

Well give yourself on the back, I do hope you have sorted your Bluetooth Mouse out with your new motherboard. Have you tried re charging it thats what normally works or just buy a new one. A lot cheaper than a Wacom Tablet.

It is more of a case of getting Bluetooth antenna with a cable because signal is just simply bad from behind the case.

It is actually of quite low importance
