All I can say is a I rather trackballs opposed to mice but for image editing even a trackball isn't accurate enough. For the price of this one it has 3048 lpi res with and accuracy of .42mm and 512 levels of pressure. For this a Wacom tablet would only be maybe get a 4 X 5 active area instead you get 12 X 9. Tuttle if you have the money get a tablet, as for a replacement mouse they are fairly cheap (at least in the US) and trackballs or even better IMO.
