3 Star ReviewGreat beginner's tablet, good step up from Graphire3
Strengths: Excellent sensitivity, batteryless stylus, transparent photo frame for tracing, bundled mouse, excellent build construction, extra tablet and pen buttons up from previous version.
Weaknesses: Might be too small for some users.
Summary: The Graphire series is Wacom's budget tablet line used to introduce new graphic enthusiasts to tablet use. It has excellent build construction and is a huge aesthetic and functional step up from the Graphire3. However, for hardcore hobbyists or professionals, this tablet will probably be too small at 4x5. Additionally, if you do digital painting the tilt sensor only available in the Intuos line is very important to capture realistic brush strokes. This tablet has two mappable buttons on the tablet, but does not have shortcut strips that make the Intuos line so efficient to use.

If you don't do digital painting and aren't interested in advanced features, the Graphire series may be good enough for you. Regardless, you might want to step up to a larger tablet size.

2 Star Reviewgraphire4Problem
Strengths: Responsive, inexpensive attractive.
Weaknesses: Cannot map tablet to the active document window in PSE.
Summary: When I had difficulty with the instructions for configuring the Wacom tablet to correspond with the window containing the image I wanted to edit, I contacted Wacom tech support. Support told me that it is not possible to configure the tablet to correspond to the active window. He told me on the telephone and in an email that only the Intuos tablet has that functionality. Other users have told me they have no problem mapping the tablet to the image being editied using a graphire3, and it seems peculiar that the feature would be missing in the graphire4. I am still hoping for a workaround or for help from a different member of the Wacom tech staff.

Because I still hope for resolution, I give the tablet a two rather than a one rating.
