I already feel like maybe I made a mistake getting the big 6x8. I honestly prefer my smaller tablet. I don't do a lot of "drawing" with it, not like you'd do with a pencil and paper (for that I use a pencil and paper and then scan it). I use the pen tablet for fine detail work that requires the "touch" of a pen (just as one example, the Liquify tool in Photoshop is fantastic with a pen tablet, but VERY tricky to use with a mouse!). Mapping is an interesting option, Helen. Can you switch the mapping around so that if you want to map the whole thing (like to draw), you can, and then switch back? Hmmmm.... bonni
