I found it to be so awkward for screencasts that I stopped using it. The touchscreen model looks like it would be very nice for Photoshop. There are some good tutorials (free) on the net showing the use of that top of the line model. If I ever get confined to a wheelchair, that will probably be the first thing I would get.
