has anyone tried to used this combo?
i had picked up one on sale (logitech optical wireless, a big marble on top) to
replace my old mouse. so far it's a challenge for me to even cut and paste text,
although i expect that this will improve. the big question is, is it suitable for
photo editing?
Not as good as a tablet, but much better than a regular mouse - you have
much finer control with the thumb only than with the whole hand.

I've been using a trackball for the last several years and love it.
However, I do not believe it is "suitable" for

I like mine very much. Took awhile to get the thumb trained, but I now much prefer it
to a mouse. I especially like now having to make space in my work area to move the
mouse around. Picked up a couple more for my other systems a few weeks ago.

I'm only a sample of one, but I find I do better tracing and drawing with the
track ball than with the mouse. I admit, my drawing tasks are very simple. I
magnify anything that requires fine work, which I found I needed to do with the
mouse also.

Herb,
You'll get used to it and will find it easy to cut & paste, and more
specifically very suitable for photo editing - you can place the pointer on
a particular pixel or spot very accurately with any optical mouse, but
especially with the optical trackball.

The simple answer is an emphatic no. Get a Wacom tablet or similar
device that lets you use a pen for editing photo docs. It's much more
intuitive and much more capable of finely detailed work.

Well, personally, I _hate_ track balls. No, that's not strong enough.
I positively _despise_ them. I'd rather try to draw freehand with that

I use an optical trackball (Microsoft's) myself, in addition to a Wacom
tablet.

I prefer a tablet to a mouse or trackball, but if you do use a mouse I
suggest you get an optical mouse rather than the ball.
I have the Logitech Marble FX too and it is fine for photo editing. It is
better than mouse inho. The reason is that you can roll the ball until you
