You will get used to it trust me, it took me a little while, what you need
to remember is that the tablet area is exactly the same as your screen, so
if you go to the top left corner of the tablet, you are in the top left of
your screen.
I used mine as mouse for the first few days, even outside of photoshop to
get used to it.
