It's really hard to get used to it. I get mixed up with the left and right click. As I'm left handed (on the keyboard shortcuts) for about 6 years now and I use my right on the mouse. When i use the pen for drawing, I use my left. So it's kinda weird. Confusing myself. I really want to milk this cow for what it's worth but there isn't much tutorials on wacom around. Kinda sucks right now man. Oh great video by the way... Came across your video, your advice came too late, I’ve spent like 400-500 bucks no the large ituos 4. It’s really hard to get used to it.

It's better than stick with the mouse all day. well, i got used to wacom faster, since i use it more for drawing than anything, i really haven’t the time to explode it at 100% yet

Masking in Photoshop, you have to have a tablet. The 4x6 works awesome... good size, good accuracy, 2nd and 3rd mouse buttons on the shaft. Sweet. Snapping to grids and guides does get a little annoying with minor twitches moving stuff off point but pros far outweigh cons. And I carry a bag around everywhere for my sketchbooks so carrying isn't a problem. YAY! Whack-omm! I LOVE my tab. Masking in Photoshop, you have to have a tablet.

Great but I found the pen too thick. So now I have the small Bamboo. Just as good and the pen is thinner; more like a traditional pen. One more thing. When you are freelancing, you have to ask if you can install the drivers. Some companies don't like you doing that. I converted to the tablet you have when it was released.
