heh, I just got my tablet today.
I have some questions:
Should I make huge pictures and work on the detail at normal zoom or should I make normal size pics and zoom in to do detail? Does it even matter?
I am using Photoshop 5. |

How about a combo?
Start at low res to block in all your large shapes and colors and then increase the size of your image when you are ready to start adding all the details.
The good thing about working at high resolution is that you dont need to zoom in so much that everything is all pixellated.
If you plan on having your work printed it's a good idea to work big. |

Max,
30x30cm should be printed nicely from 3600x3600 pixels if you use 300 dpi output.
You'd probably work at maybe twice that, if your rig can handle it ... and then downsample ... |
