Not only was I very comfortable indeed with my current setup, but my artistic skills are all but nonexistent. So, when I was told I ought to get a graphics tablet, like a Wacom, for my retouching needs, I shunned the idea. I've been using Photoshop for about 18 years, and the bulk of those years were with a keyboard and mouse. Having grown up using desktop PCs, touch typing and swift mouse usage are second nature to me. But, do you really need a graphics tablet? I put off buying a graphics tablet for years after taking up photography, before buckling the best part of a decade ago.
