Question

Does one inch really make a difference on a Wacom tablet?
I bought a Wacom tablet, It's mainly for college purposes and for when I just want to mess around with photoshop at home. I got a 4"x5" for $69, but next to that was a 4"x6" model for $99. Will having one inch less really work against me? I was wondering if I missing out on a lot by not geting the 4x6 model.

Answer 1

If the display area is calculated on the diagonal distance you only missing out on .8". With a display that small 1" is not going to make a difference.
