    I consider my tablet a more valuable tool than my software. Had I known how powerful the tablet was, I'd have spent my money there initially instead of buying CC3 at first.

    I have (rather, my wife has) a Wacom Intuos3 6" X 8", which I currently use with CC3 and Photoshop 7.

    I use Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Flash Pro with some Fractal Terrains & CC3 post-production work. I don't have a tablet anymore, but prefer to use mouse more anyway on my lineart as my drawing hand is sometimes shakey while when I'm working with a mouse it's more accurate. Not sure why.

    EDIT: Lol, fixed typo.

    Bill Stickers is innocent! It isn't Bill's fault that he was hanging out in the wrong place.

    Hey, you never know. I've seen people paint with their mouths before so just had to confirm.
