New toy

In view of all the photo retouching, it seemed worthwhile to treat myself to a graphics tablet. Believe it or not, I'm entering this in handwriting, slightly slowly and painfully. I have very little idea how this thing works: it seems remarkably like magic. It does help with the scratch removal and zapping of mold spores, too. (Some of these slides have recognizable concentric fungal rings, a few hundredths of an inch across.)

A 4" x 6" Wacom tablet is a lovely little thing, and indispensable to my operations. Comes with a cordless mouse that sits on the tablet, so that takes care of what I need in an economical space.

Yes, mine's a Wacom too -- rejoicing in the name Bamboo Fun. It came with the next version (6) of Photoshop Elements, but I haven't installed that yet, sticking to the scientific principle of changing one thing at a time.
