Jonny Freedom on Apr 07 '08 at 9:15am

is there much difference between the various wacom lines?

Or are they all pretty much the same!

also....does size matter?

DaniellesGarden on Apr 07 '08 at 9:22am

no, its how you use it that matters..

intuous has better pressure sensitivity than graphire.

centiqs are just fucking insane. it's like drawing directly on your monitor. i've never tried one, though.

ok, cool...thats good to know.

how hard are they to use?

tracerbullet on Apr 07 '08 at 9:35am

there's a bit of a learning curve. you have to get used to drawing on the tablet while looking at the screen, and the fact that the tablet uses absolute positioning, meaning that wherever you point to on the tablet, your cursor appears at the same point on your monitor. you can change it to relative positioning so it works more like a mouse, but that always feels weird to me.
