Default Pen Tablet - Do you use it?

Pen Tablet - Do you use it? Pen Tablet - Do you use it for photo editing in Lightroom, Photoshop, etc...? Did it improve your post processing work flow?
Should I get a Wacom Intuos4 or used Intuos3? Is it worth buying the latest Intuos4? I would mainly use it in PS.

I have a Wacom Bamboo, but I don't use it for editing photos. I am not certain that it would ease the workflow any, honestly.

I got my tablet a few years ago. A Graphire XL4 or whatever it was (which Bamboo has replaced now). Never used it much (partly for the reason that it didn't conform to two monitor layout well.. Intuos should have some more options for that). For the past few months I've been using my tablet for everything. Including surfing the web, just to get into habit of using it. I got rid of my mouse and just been using the tablet to get used to it once again. And to be frank, it has done nothing for me when it comes to editing photos.

It's great for painting but I don't really do any of that. And sure you can control the brush with pressure sensitivity but to be honest you don't need it when editing photos in Photoshop. Changing the brush size doesn't take all that much time with a mouse.

Almost like any gadget... it won't make your photography better.
