I bought an Intuos 3 6x8 several years ago but do not use it much, primarily because I have found it difficult to adapt to the pen. I would appreciate advice on how to deal with this issue: as I bring the pen in close proximity to the tablet, I see the cursor and move the pen to make the cursor go to the coordinates I am interested in. But when I bring the pen down further to click on that point, I frequently find myself having to move the pen down further than I anticipate, and in that zone I often end up clicking on another point than the one I want. Is there some sort of proximity adjustment that will help me with this, as I would like to use the tablet more.
Someone suggested this link, which is helpful but does not directly address my question: http://psd.tutsplus.com/articles/theory/break-in-your-new-tablet/

What problem specifically is this causing with your photographs and/or camera? – None – 2012-01-04T11:22:14.793
1Sorry, but this isn't a photography related question. – None – 2012-01-04T11:29:08.207
2I've checked with the Super User mods and it's on-topic over there. Don't repost, but flag this question for migration. – ChrisF – 2012-01-04T13:31:46.473
this is strange, I have the cheap Wacom Bamboo Pen and use it in GIMP without such problems. But according to me it works better with Win XP than 7. – Juhele – 2012-01-05T06:57:42.393
If Photoshop is photography-related, then this question is also photography-related because it deals with tools used to edit photographs in Photoshop. Or are you saying that Photoshop questions are not photography-related? – None – 2012-01-05T11:47:11.523
@WarrenKeuffel: Were saying that the question as posed is more about tablets than photography, and tablets are NOT on topic. When it comes to the nature of on and off topic here, were not looking for "by the letter"...were looking for "by the spirit". Just because something has a tangential relationship to photography does not mean it IS ABOUT photography. – jrista – 2012-01-05T20:34:21.607
Were happy to have to contribute as a member of our community, however arguing like you have about the fact that your question is on-topic because its about photoshop and since photoshop is (sometimes) about photography, so is your question...well thats just argumentative, and doesn't help anyone. I'm going to close this question, since it is most assuredly about the Intuos 3 tablet, and not about photography, regardless of any second-degree relationship because your using the tablet with photoshop. – jrista – 2012-01-05T20:35:23.883
