I am Proude owner of a Wacom tablet. Ok i been wondering, If there is any Way to Use TWO TABLET one computer at the Same time, Say your working on a BIG image and Two people can work Faster then One.

THen there is this Idea, One BIGGG tablet and One Big Monitor! so Using ONE BIG tablets but It Can handel up to Two people drawing at one time.

What you think?

That is the strangest idea I've heard but, no, you can't really do that on a single computer (at least, not effectively). Two tablets should work on USB (assuming the drivers can hack that), but you'd be constantly fighting with the other guy, since you only have ONE cursor, tool, active color, etc. If you want to do a co-op pic, use 2 comps.

In order to do this, you'd need a special paint program (or some weird homemade background communications program) that could use input from another computer (via serial/parralel/etc) and apply these actions to the 'server' paint program/computer and vice versa so 2 computers would be updated with the same paint data using 2 independant tools.

( I *really* don't mean to be rude, but don't ask yourself why people didn't answer this post... =)

No i think he said he wanna get a BIG tablet and couple pens If so, i still dont think you can have 2 cursors at the same time, besides if you wanted to change brush to airbrush, for what pen would the settings be changed? PS itself would need to support this sheat which i neither doubt nor think is possible.

And if he meant having 2 tablets, i dont think its possible and... why?

One Computer
Two Tablets
Two Monitors (can be done with one of them Video cards)

This is usefull for working on two projects at the same time, or Have one Person use the talet to work on something in PhotoShop and one Painter.

Hi Zap.

Hmm. I still have serious doubts about this, but, heck -- if you say so. {8D
Sorry about the previous post, I was a little out of line. =)
