And then I reverse this thick-thin brush. And I created tiny half circles to put on each end so that I can vary the degree of how thin the brush gets (as oppose to having it go to one point. I keep the "thick" half circle the same and then vary the length of the smaller half circle.

When I read the Adobe Illustrator help version, I still had no idea what it meant (how unusual). Now I do. :-) Thanks very much for explaining what “proportional” means (with your helpful visual example).

Can you get by with just the mouse or do you wish you had something more precise? For me it was without a doubt worth every penny. I was on the fence for the longest time about getting one and then I just finally decided to go for it and get one of the Intuos tablets. I've never regretted that decision :) Robert: Honestly I would say it really depends on what you like you to do in Photoshop or Illustrator and how often you do it.
