Can I ask a question? I have a bamboo pen and touch tablet (that's what it's called). It's a pretty basic tablet, but suitable for my needs.

My question is: Is it normal to push really hard on the tablet? I use Photoshop and I tried one of the pressure sensitive controls (the harder you push, the darker the color). I have to push pretty hard in order to get a dark color. I'm afraid of ruining my tablet.


I was pretty hard on my tablet when I first got it, and it's still working perfectly fine. If you feel uncomfortable with the amount of pressure you're using, you can always adjust it in the Wacom Tablet Properties utility. In Windows, I generally have my Intuos set right between "Soft" and "Firm." It sounds like your tip feel may be a bit on the firm side.

Are we going to be seeing some art  from you soon? :D
