    I finally might be breaking down and getting myself a tablet - I am looking at a Wacom Bamboo of the 5 x 8 size. If I get one, I'll be sure to post my first "hand-drawn" map using it.

    So, my first tablet work ever... http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?10697 for this months competition...
    I'm still trying to get use to it... and use the mouse for all the non-drawing stuff (which I probably shouldn't), I think I'll try to see if there somewhere in settings are a setting for using the pressure to control opacity instead of brush size... I think that would be more usefull (other than for rivers of course)

    Open the Brushes palette (F5). In the Shape Dynamics, under Size Jitter, turn Control to Off. Go to Other Dynamics and under Opacity Jitter set Control to Pen Pressure.

    I'm comfortable with a mouse and not very artistic. I rely heavily on filters and step by step techniques to produce results opposed to knowing how to draw anything freehand. Therefore, I suspect that a tablet wouldn't do much for me.

    If I *were* artistic though, I suspect that the pen pressure feature would make all the difference in convincing me to get one. I've read a number of blog posts by artists that use them and describe various things you can do with that feature. That's the one thing about tablets that has always stood out for me. If I were to get one, I'd look into that more fully. I suspect some tablets deal with pen pressure better than others.

    now I've only gotten a small one, but you can get some that not only responds to pressure, but also tilt of the pen (yep, I said tilt)
