I WOULD NOT recommend this product. The horrible colors and screen angles is enough to make this product 90% useless for an artist. It has a low resolution and barely works with photoshop. I would recommend you get a used microsoft surface pro 1 for around the same price. AWESOME color and viewing angles, 1080p, full win 8, portable, wacom wintab and touch screen. If you don't believe me, experience DP10U+ for yourself. It was the first product I've ever returned to Amazon. Truly disappointing.

In case anyone is interested and hasn't heard yet, Wacom FINALLY announced an update to the old 12wx. It's the Cintiq 13hd. It will be available in early April. Details are on Wacom's website.It looks beautiful and much improved over this old model. Can't wait until it's available on Amazon.

I would agree with Chris Frenzy. Great to introduce you to a graphic pen/tablet. I also mainly use with Photoshop, but so far with Illustrator we haven't experienced any problems. It definitely does the job!

The difference between these products is this is the one you want. They both work as a smaller cintiq plugged into your computer but the 13HD came out before, and can not work independently as a mobile sketching tool. Also, there are some things about the functionality that people with the 13HD have complained about regarding the looseness of the cable which links to the monitor which can cause the screen to go black as you shift around while drawing. I should also note that if you go to the wacom store like I did, this product starts at 1200, with free shipping. So after taxes was about 1400, only about 400 more than the 13HD.

Yes, it would work. You shouldn't have too much of a problem. Just ensure the latest drivers are on from your operating system. You can get it from the Wacom website.

Unfortunately, nothing has officially been announced from Wacom. They tend to not announce new products until right when they're about to come out (such as the Intuos 5), so it's anyone's guess when a new version will be available, if it ever will be. I, for one, am really hoping for an update to the 12wx because I'd like to upgrade to a Cintiq after using the Intuos 3 for years. I find the larger Cintiq models to be too big for my needs (and expensive!), but everyone is different.Here's hoping Wacom is listening to its customers and comes out with an update to the 12wx very soon. I know I will buy it! Unfortunately, nothing has officially been announced from Wacom.

Hi Brandon, I see you posted this a while ago but thought I would answer in case you hadn't already purchased. I use my Wacom mainly for photo editing as well and I think the medium is the perfect size for this work. With the large I find it clumsy when I'm attempting to create paths or paint on masks. I'm not sure if its just because I'm used to the medium size, but I feel like there's a large discrepancy between the wide movements I'm making on the pad, and what's happening on the screen (I hope that made sense). However, using the medium tablet means you're basically restricted to drawing with your wrist and not your whole arm. I'm not a digital painter, but if its similar to brush-on-canvas painting I can understand how that would be an issue. Overall, I say go with the medium since that will best fit your primary use, and Amazon has a very generous return policy if it turns out not to work out.

Brock I have not received mine yet, nor has amazon indicated that they have it back in stock. I'm starting to think they're low on the list as far as vendor priority for Wacom, as other places have started to get them in stock, but are charging $200-$500 over list price. If anyone else has received this product from Amazon this year could you chime in on how long your wait was.

Yep! That's what I use it with. It's so simple that it doesn't have the driver complications of the complicated Wacom models.

Absolutely wait if you can. Wacom is superb, but their price point, based on having been the only player in town is astronomical. Huion from China is really good, but it is not yet to the level of Wacom. There are others as well, but they are doing one thing. They are forcing Wacom to take a look at a more realistic price point. If prices aren't cut within the year to at most, 60% of the current price, Huion will have come out with their next generation. That one, I will bet is a match, at a minimum, to Wacom. Either way, wait a short while if yo can and get the better of the two.

The Wacom Intuos3 tablet does not display anything on the tablet itself; you have to get used to watching the PC screen as you're moving the pen over the surface of the tablet. Wacom does put out the Cintiq line of tablets which DO display your image right on the tablet itself, but of course these are much more expensive. The cheapest of these will set you back a thousand dollars, and even then, some of the people who have used the cheapest Cintiq seem to regard it as a beta product, a little rough around the edges. (There is a better Cintiq tablet, but it costs around $2000.)

I think it would be great for drawing/doodling! I got mine and I LOVE it. And I'm by no means a professional. Comes with two fairly easy to use programs/software. It takes a few days to get used to, because you aren't looking at the tablet when you draw, but once you get the hang of it, it works like a charm! I think it'd be a great gift for your daughter, especially if she wants to get more into digital art. :D

Umm...I don't think you'll need a wacom for C&P...in fact, you don't need any tablet at all if you are only going to be using the simple features in Photoshop. Since those functions does not utilize the pressure sensitivity that comes with a wacom, buying a tablet is really a waste of money in my opinion.

This would work, but it isn't worth it.Only get this for light fun, not for actual art. I bought this because my more expensive tablet broke, turns out you still get what you pay for.Find a better tablet, like a Wacom or Huon.

Question was cut off, there was no driver that came with the tablet but a visit to the wacom site and download a driver for your specific tablet should fix any issues. If you are just plugging it.it should.draw fine ,their isnt any pen pressure ,line gets bigger with pushing down. Any other questions please feel free to adk

No Kim. the tablet is simplya surface interface. What you draw can only be seen on the monitor. I think that what you are looking for might be the touch screen monitor that supports Wacom pens. That is somewhere between 900 & 2000 dollars depending on the size you buy.
