So, I'v been teaching myself Photoshop. Must I get and learn a pen tablet if I really want to master it? If so, which one (not aiming to be a professional retoucher)?

its probably useful if you literally draw/paint/sketch something, but I've never used one (well, tried briefly a couple of times) and I've been using graphic software for 15 years.
edit: I know some people use tablets for things other than sketching, but far from a necessity imo."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."

about half of my friends (those who work professionaly with computer graphics) actually use their tablets not for digital painting, but mainly for anatomical reasons. basically they say (and some studies prove, but after all, it’s a rather subjective point of view) that holding a pen for 12 hours a day is more healthy to your wrists than holding a mouse. it looks like it also helps to prevent a carpal tunnel syndrome.
I used a tablet years ago, but since I moved from illustration to mainly (well, more or less only) typography, I find it more annoying than useful to switch between pen and keyboard then to switch between mouse and keyboard.
After all, it’s a matter of taste. try it for yourself.

I use PS everyday for amateur webdesing or retouching pictures and I never need a pen.
I had a tablet at one point but sold it because I just prefer the mouse
Photoshop, illustrator, all that fun stuff... just easier with a mouse imo.
I use a 20+ button mouse though so maybe that's why...
