Finally! lol You've been to the 'Brushes' window [Window/Brushes] in photoshop right? That's where you can set which things react to the pen pressure. The one I keep it on mainly, is 'Other Dynamics', with both dropdowns set to 'Pen Pressure'.

It took me about a week of using it to get used to it. I disconnected my mouse and only used the tablet so I got used to it faster.

Did you get the 6x8? That's the one I have.

nope did not know about that window/brush thing yet...thanks for the heads up!

And yes i got the 6 x 8 Intuos3 tablet, one thing that i haven't figured out yet is it has 5 extra pen inserts "3 white, 1 gray, and 1 black" not sure what they are for yet lol

The darker the tip, the harder it is. White is like drawing with a marker, where the black one is more like a mechanical pencil. I have only used the white tip, never really had a reason to change it.
