Drawing Tablet

I want to purchase a Wacomm drawing tablet. I was wondering if anyone has used one in photoshop or illustrator. How does it work when drawing paths?

thanks

Works well for me. I have a Wacom Graphire and it works beautifully.

Sometimes the tablet driver goes out of control on CPU cycles though and overheats my Powerbook. Just go into Activity Monitor and force quit it, if it does.

I have it also, use it in photoshop and shake, never actually draw paths. Works wonders rotoscoping int shake, which is very simular.

I've used mine for graphics and design for the past 5 years - without a single problem at all.

surfwax95: I've never had that happen 0_0 I've used my tablet (Graphire II I think) on a G3 iMac, G4 iBook, macbook and G5 tower. No problems at all. I don't think it's affected the temp of my macs - only the software (photoshop, illustrator etc.) would do that if I'm doing some intense graphic work with multiple apps open. I've never reached the point where it's overheated though...

No no no, it's never truly overheated and shutdown, it just gets much hotter than usual. Then when I take a look at Activity Monitor the CPU is at 95% with tabletdriver getting all of it. I guess I'll try reinstalling the driver and see if it stops...
