Yes! A lot of people do! They work fine, pressure sensitivity and all. I do gimp and UFRaw tutorials and would be happy to help you out more.

I use this tablet in Photoshop myself, and it does make it a lot easier to do touch ups. You can probably even go with the small tablet if your mainly using it for PS and LR. I don't see this tablet as an overkill, I look at it as another tool to add to my creative flow. If you do decide to purchase the Wacom tablet, I would recommend purchasing the POSRUS surface cover on Amazon. It makes the drawing surface a lot smoother, and it gives it a better feel when it comes in contact with your pen. I hope this helps you out.

Be sure that the driver for the intuous4 is installed, and that the computer can find a supported tablet on the system. If not go to wacom.com, download the latest driver, install it. Also I find that I often have to go to the services directory, open the "standard" frame, scroll down to Wacom Professional Service and restart it. For some reason when Photoshop loads, the pen pressure sensitivity etc. still doesn't work until I do the Services thing. You can see next to brush palette a triangle with a ! in it meaning it is not functioning properly.

Yes it will work once you install the correct driver available on the Wacom site.

You have to download the software from the Wacom site for compatibility. Have a blessed day :-)

Thanks for your answers. If there's a Wacom rep reading this, do you know of any plans to develop more types of tips? I really liked the multiple tips & styli when I used them for my Wacom tablet (bought 6 yrs ago) & there would definately be a market for them. :-)

I picked up an ep121 at fry's in concord last week, I have a CINTIQ 21UX, and I'm employed as a character artist. The cintiq pen and intuos pens won't work on it as people have already said. The pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop, i think there's a driver fix for this but i haven't bothered with it. Photoshop works best with a keyboard/keypad anyways. Alias sketchbook pro will be your friend. The brushes work great and the program is stroke based. 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, it depends on the artist. It's fine for me, I don't know that my arm has 256 levels of pressure. The line quality is good and it's responsive while drawing. Awesome device for drawing on the go, or sitting on the couch. Any serious work you'll probably want to use a standard computer, but no reason you shouldn't be able to do great things on the ep121. Battery life i get around 3-4.5 hours depending on use. I hope they start shipping these things out to you all soon, I'm loving mine! ps. This thing also runs zbrush pretty well. although it's pointless to try to use zbrush with a resolution os 1200x800, the menu's are too filling. But, it CAN handle a million polygons without much problem. I didn't try maya on it yet. If anyone's interested i can give it a shot.

Including a display in the tablet would be incredibly expensive; however, Wacom does offer the Cintiq line which provides exactly that. There are also cheaper tablets from Yiynova that do that as well. Personally I prefer the detached tablet, because then my hand doesn't get in the way of seeing what I'm working on. Also, having a 1:1 correlation between the pen and the mouse cursor makes it more annoying to have any slight accuracy or latency problem, while if you have your hand decoupled from the cursor those issues aren't as noticeable.

The model that is for sale (20CD0032US) does not include a digitizer, so it will not work with any Wacom technology stylus. Having said that, I have the upgraded Yoga purchased direct from Lenovo, which does include the digitizer. I just grabbed the stylus from an old X60Tablet, and it works just fine with my yoga. The stylus for the X60Tablet is bigger and easier to hold than the yoga stylus, so I think I'll toss the X60Tablet stylus in my yoga bag.Again, the laptop in this ad will not work with Wacom type stylus.

I only have a turcom tablet myself, but i did try it once on my tablet at school which is an insperon (not sure what model off hand) and it did not do anything, when i first got it set up i was able to use it right away so there is no pairing involved, having said that i would say that is best to assume that it would not work on a wacom

Yes. My Cintiq 21 UX began malfunctioning quite seriously (green and red static, screen going dark for several seconds, all at random intervals). I went through a lot of back-and-forth with Wacom support, eventually they took it in for repairs. They couldn't reproduce the problem, replaced a part and sent it back to me and I found that the problem persisted. After some more back-and-forth I sent it back again for a second try. They replaced the same part as before and returned it to me. Amazingly, this time it seemed to have worked. But after two weeks of flawless performance, I am now seeing the occasional green bar flashing on my screen. However, I have to admit that the two Cintiqs we use at work have been performing perfectly for over a year. Also, when I did a Google search to see if anyone else was having the same problems I was, I did not find anything. So my experience may be unique.

Thank you so much for letting us know! And sorry to hear about the disappointment... seems so silly of Wacom to do this to us. If there is no texture difference what is the point of having a standard and clear version? The tablet is black anyway. ^^;

I would personally stay away from it, as their customer support is so bad, that I'm still waiting to hear back from them (almost a year... and I did submit multiple emails through their website and facebook). My cintiq broke (almost without any use) 2 months before the warranty expired and they never responded. I would look for another option away from Wacom.

The Wacom CTH470 Bamboo tablet is the one on top. (Silver with Black) As for the quality goes, its a great tablet worth every penny. I love my CTH470.

There's one major problem I had. I couldn't get the pressure sensitivity to work with Gimp. I could get it to work with other programs though. There are some instructions on Google for fixing this, but I still couldn't get it to work. Also the drivers for this don't work very well, and I would have trouble with the tablet work and not work at random times. I recommend spending more and getting a wacom.
