Looking for a tablet

[Recursion]

I got the "Bamboo", it's being delivered on Thursday. I won't use the buttons so much for zooming etc but more shortcuts and things like that, as you say, keyboard shortcuts are a lot easier to use in Photoshop.

I also like the idea of using it to write notes and things on the Desktop (Microsoft Ink Desktop), writing on Excel sheets and things which will come in handy, so the eraser on the pen should hopefully work well.

Looking forward to getting it!

Fair enough, if you use shortcuts then its good for you. The only shortcut I ever use is CTRL + C, V and X and I only use those on the Internet. On Flash or whatever I just click undo.

Using clicks for everything is bad for productivity. Why do you think God invented shortcuts? If I'm in Photoshop or Illustrator, I zoom and and out a lot. I use keyboard cuts for most things, and I have Quicksilver to make navigation that little bit quicker. Make use of shortcuts, particularly the tools shortcuts in Adobe applications.

It came and im just getting used to it.. I love it even as a mouse replacement!

Anyone want to recommend any apps for drawing and stuff? :]

As I said, it's down to personal preference. Why should I have to use shortcuts if I don't want too. For me atleast it takes longer, the distance to move my hand on a tablet to click an icon on the computer is less than that to click the button on the tablet.

I use Flash for some nice freehand drawing. I don't know if you use Flash or Photoshop but I find Flash is a lot more manual than Photoshop and I prefer it personally. But I believe both support pressure on Graphics tablets.

I like Flash because it smooths the lines etc.. I was just drawing in Photoshop actually better than I do in real life haha, ill give Flash a try too :]
