Several online Photoshop tutorials I have read seem to recommend the use of graphics tablets. Can anyone recommend an easy to use and at the same time a worthwhile graphics tablet to invest in.

click on the "which tablet" link
I still use a tablet that was brand-new in 1996(?), the ArtZ II.
It works with Painter IX.x and Adobe's Design Collection (Photoshop 7, and Illustrator 10)

None of the graphics tablets are a good investment--they depreciate as soon as they're bought.
In article <JcI7g.13400$>, theartist@[remove]ev1.:D Mine's a 12x12. I was about to write that wacom wasn't making that size anymore, but they do! I had a 6x8 Intuos at my old job, and it was a little small for my taste. Also I tried a 4x5 a friend of mine had, too. On the 4x5's I felt like I was trying to write captions on a bunch of Polaroids. That just wasn't anywhere near right. So Summertown, save your money, and get a tablet that's a decent size. You'll hate it if you don't!

I second this suggestion. I have never encountered a person with a problem with a Wacom, that either this (or similar) NG, or Wacom could not fix. The same cannot be said for most other mfgr's tablets. Wacom also has a "discount" store on their Web site (www.wacom.com) for refurb units, usually a model, or two old with good prices. While the newer models offer more - usually greater pressure sensitivity, and a few bells-n-whistles, the older ones still work well. Heck, I thought that I was the only one still using an ArtZII !!! Nice to see that I have company. Besides it, I have several Intuos I & II's, and I love them all, except for a really small one (don't even recall the model), but then I like the larger tablets, and just make room for them on my desk.
Maybe try a smaller one (some folk swear by them) from the refurb shop at Wacom, and see what all the hupla is about.
