Can you see your drawing on the tablet or just on the PC? As you're drawing, can you see your design both on the tablet and on the PC or just on the PC?

The Wacom Intuos3 tablet does not display anything on the tablet itself; you have to get used to watching the PC screen as you're moving the pen over the surface of the tablet. Wacom does put out the Cintiq line of tablets which DO display your image right on the tablet itself, but of course these are much more expensive. The cheapest of these will set you back a thousand dollars, and even then, some of the people who have used the cheapest Cintiq seem to regard it as a beta product, a little rough around the edges. (There is a better Cintiq tablet, but it costs around $2000.)

Yes you can. The device comes with a stylus but the screen is actually pressure sensitive. This means you can even do finger art.Just want to add something. Some lines (made with very light pressure) can appear on screen but may not appear in the saved version (PDF). Not sure why bu I guess the save is not as sensitive as the actual screen.

Connected to the computer. You will see what you are drawing on the computer screen

No. I have been using this tablet for a week and I draw with my hand partially on the tablet and it does not effect the drawing at all.

this is a great drawing pad only. it's does not have a screen, everything is displayed in your screen. you can either ether it with the USB cord or use the wireless dongle that comes with it. once you get used to looking at the screen you will really like how it works. I bought my daughter one for Mac air and she's uses it all the time. I wish I could display some of her work with the tablet. we had problems with apples new Yosemite OS and the tech support had their software guys rewrite new drivers within a couple of days. this is good starting tool for tragic designers who do not want to save money.

You can only see it on the monitor (PC). It does allow for more natural drawing but will take some getting used to. It has pressure sensitivity so if you use it Adobe's Photoshop or Illustrator it opens up the ability to change line weight with the brushes.

Okay, hopefully I've managed to edit this in time to stop the previous answer from sending out. I accidentally clicked "yes" because my mouse is acting weird and doesn't move properly. Long story. Anyway, I'm really sorry about that and I apologize even more in the next message. I explain in the next message that is displays the drawing on the computer screen, not that of the tablet. Only super expensive and huge tablets have a separate screen like that. Again, sorry for the lengthy answer comprised mainly of apologies.

I use it for a drawing application, Smartdraw, I found it was no better or worse than others. I had an ASUS Slate pc before. I have not used it on the programs you listed. Good luck

I have the smaller one and I personally think the larger one would be better because with the little one you have to scroll around on the tablet to move around on the screen on the computer. So lets say your tablet drawing space is 5"X5" and your computer work space is 10X10 so you would have to scroll a lot to get from one corner of your piece of work to the other and it's a bit awkward. Other than that I don't think there is any advantage or disadvantage with either sizes.

That depends on the software you are using, it's not a capability of this device. You can use adobe illustrator to live trace a drawing if you want or you can draw directly in illustrator making everything vector to begin with, but I don't think illustrator supports pressure sensitivity.

There are many software programs that allow you to paint or draw on a computer. In these programs you first create a surface to work on. This usually consists of a blank white area. To draw or paint you would then click on a tool option such as a brush or pencil, select a color, and then click and drag your the cursor over the top of the canvas. You can draw with a mouse--but it is awkward for many reasons. Most people buy a digital tablet which comes with a pen (stylus) that controls the cursor on their computer. With a stylus you have many more options on how the strokes are made and it is much easier to draw with because you hold the stylus like you would a regular pen. Some people, like myself, have a pressure sensitive laptop that comes with a stylus. This enables me to use the stylus directly on the monitor of my laptop. I can adjust settings so that if I push harder on the stylus my brush stroke gets darker, or wider, or both. That is something you cannot do with a mouse. To change the line thickness with a mouse you have to go to the brush size and change it. Digital painting is a very big area right now. It is amazing what some people can create. I hope this helps.

You can pretty much use it in any program that you can draw in with a mouse. Only certain programs, however, can detect how much pressure you're putting onto the tablet as you use it. These are usually art-centric programs such as Photoshop, Paint Tool SAI, etc.

You can rest your hand on it while drawing. The tablet senses the position of the pen stylus, not the position of your hand. The "touch" feature refers to finger gentures that can be used for such things as zooming (similar to gestures on an iPhone). If you find that the way you move your hand, while you draw, is too much like the gestures, you can switch off the "touch" feature. Likewise, the stylus has a rocker switch that can be used as "mouse click." If you find (as I do) that your grip on the pen sometimes accidentally clicks that switch, you can disable it.

I have currently have a Macbook pro Retina. you can use the companion hybrid as a second monitor via the HDMI adapter that comes with the tablet. You just have to make sure that you have the correct drivers downloaded for it to function properly. Normally when I sketch on the tablet, I don't have it connected to the computer. If I want to take the sketches into photoshop I use the Autodesk Sketchbook app that allows you to upload the sketches to google drive. I can just download them onto my computer and go from there.

Including a display in the tablet would be incredibly expensive; however, Wacom does offer the Cintiq line which provides exactly that. There are also cheaper tablets from Yiynova that do that as well. Personally I prefer the detached tablet, because then my hand doesn't get in the way of seeing what I'm working on. Also, having a 1:1 correlation between the pen and the mouse cursor makes it more annoying to have any slight accuracy or latency problem, while if you have your hand decoupled from the cursor those issues aren't as noticeable.
