Oh...and: I had a minute yesterday to spend with a student's Intuos tablet.
With this plugged in and the Cintiq removed, Photoshop returned to
performing with its usual responsiveness. Like I said, though, I only had a
minute or so to make a series of rapid brush strokes with a default
airbrush, though. I didn't have time to try out anything more robust.
I do not have an Intuos, so I can't utilize this option. And, (I may be a
spoiled brat saying this) the Cintiq has become a part of my
workflow—especially in that it enables me to skip the stage of sketching on
paper altogether.
