I think the answer is no, but thought I would ask. Can a Wacom tablet be used in DIP?

Yep it can - Ive had mine for a few years now - the only thing that doenst work is the pressure sensitivity part

but you can use it with any of the tools

hmmmm..... I may "need" a new toy. I know there are several models, is there one particular model I should be in search of? What is your opinion of the models - have to think of cost too. Any info you can give me, I would appreciate it. I have read lots of info on their website, but am totally confused! I need simple answers.

lol
mine is old now -It's a 6x8 Wacom Graphire
I'd definately recommend the 6x8 model or larger as long as you can fit it on your desk.
Because DIP cant use all the bells and whistles you may as well get a more basic model. I went and did a little reading and prob this one http://www.wacom.com/graphire/6x8.cfm would be ideal - unless you particularly want the bluetooth ability

Yes, thank you for taking the time to investigate the models for me and supplying the link.... actually tried to bid on one at EBAY but it got too high. Figured while hubby is away, I should go shopping!
I acutally have PSE4 but never reinstalled it after my laptop crashed. I am just so comfy using DIP (still learning new things) that I don't even attempt to learn PSE. I just wish MS would add some extras to their future versions of DIP and would make it more competitive with PSE.

Love all of your and Kim's photostrokes. I see Kim has a tut on making your own, so I am planning on trying it out. It is always easier when it comes as a download - but willing to give it a try.
