hi terry,
ive been sticking to traditional hand drawing for a long while, but i was thinking about getting a tablet for faster working, and digital sculpting, now i have intous 4 SMALL as a gift for my graduation, so iam a virgin to graphic tablets, my question is intous 4 small a good place to start? or should i get the medium? i also heard that the medium size isnt necessery unless u have monitors with HD resolution, my monitor is 19′ max is 1440 x 900.
thanks alot

Still on the first nib, but it does show signs of wear.

Is nib wear a concern on the intuos 4? If so, should a protective sheet be used as Wacom suggests? Thanks.

Hi Terry!

i am so impressed with your talent. I just wanna know if Intuos4 is compatible with Lightroom2 and CS3 and 4 before i buy my own Intuos4. I do have CS3 and Lightroom2 in my laptop….

Take care

It all depends on what else you have to put in your bag and how much room you have. For me the Small works out better. Of course if you’ve got the room, go with the Medium.

is the medium tablet really that hard to travel with?

Vahan, yes you can use the small tablet with your 17″ MacBook Pro. All of the wacom tablets have the ability to map to whatever screen size/resolution you have. Thanks!

Hi Terry,

Can I use the small tablet with new 17inch Macbook Pro? Can tablet be mapped for various screen sizes?

Thanks for the video review.

Hi Terry,

Good review. I currently bring to work my personal Intuos3 11″x6″ to use on a dual monitor setup (the 2nd monitor sits to the right of my main screen and is mainly used for assets such as Adobe Bridge). My place of business is allowing me to purchase an Intuos4 so that I don’t have to keep bringing mine in. I am torn between the Medium and the Large. Do you have a recommendation? Personally, I do not need the whole drawing area on my current 11″x6″; however, I do not like to run my pen up against the edge of the drawing area (i like a 1/4″ gap). Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Terry,

Great review. I originally thought I had to hold out for the medium tablet because of the lack of LCD on the small. Good to see that you can display the key assignments on the screen with the small tablet. I work with CS3 and Lightroom, does the Intuos 4 work with Lightroom as well?

Thanks for your response.

yes, it works fine with CS3.

Does the Intuos work well with Photoshop cs3? economic conditions more or less prohibit6 me from upgrading to cs4 but I think I can swing an intuos 4 medium here in the next month or so. Will have to stick with cs3 for the time being, thanks for your help in advance.

Drawing right on screen is better IMHO than the Intuos4. Stick with your Cintiq.
