Touch Screen Monitor?
May 9, 2020 09:53:54 #
I use my iPad and the Apple Pen. it will work with any iPad that uses responds to either Pen 1 or Pen 2. I use an application called Air Display. You purchase the AirDisplay app from your IPad, then install the free Air Display driver on your desktop. Connect the iPad to the Mac open the app on the iPad and the Mac screen is duplicated on the desktop. I open Capture One and use the Apple Pen to draw masks etc., on the image on the iPad. I find it easier to enlarge the image and work on the enlarged image on the pad. It works well and there is no lag time. I like it much better than my Wacom tablet.

You can assign one of your pen buttons or express keys on the Wacom as precision mode specific to Photoshop or any specific program. It takes a small portion of the display and uses the full size of the Wacom tablet to cover it.

Make sure that you get a stylus that works with the monitor and does not damage the streen.

Here's another vote for the Wacom Cintiq. I've got the Cintiq Pro 13" model, and it is terrific for fine editing of photos. It also serves nicely as a third screen for general computer use.

What graphics card do you use in order to run 3 screens?

My main computer is an iMac Pro 27", and my older iMac 27" is the secondary screen. The Cintiq just plugs into the back of the iMac Pro.

It is quite a pain to hold your arm up to use the touchscreen.
You will need some kind of prop, unless you put the monitor on its back and use it like a giant tablet.

There is the Microsoft Surface Studio 2 which allows you to use a pen and can also lie flat with their special zero gravity hinge.

I use PhotoShop 7 and when eliminating unavoidable background clutter, getting good edges is difficult with a mouse or even a tablet.
Has any one had experience with a touch screen monitor?

I tried it and don't like it. I tried a Wacom Pad and don't like it either. I found my hand as jittery with a mouse as a pen. At least with the mouse I am using a huge monitor which helps. For what it is worth.
Cheers & be safe!

My new Dell laptop has one because it came with it. I keep forgetting it is there and when do use find little,if any, saved effort. For those complaining about mouse touch pad on laptop, get a wireless mouse. I have used one for 8 years on old laptop and got a Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse for the new computer. About $50 from Amazon for the top of line Logitech.

She had a wireless mouse before the new computer. She elected NOT to install the wireless mouse, but instead use the touch screen and touch pad. Which I find odd as she is always complaining how touch screen (don't) work well for her (mostly the phone).
It's HER computer, I'm not installing a wireless mouse for my use, since I hardly use her laptop.
So I have a spare wireless mouse now as I've always had one on my laptop.

Several years ago I bought a Lenovo Desktop touchscreen.
I still have the pc but find it too cumbersome to use.

I have one, and I find it has very limited usefulness. It's just as easy to spin the wheel on my mouse.

Part of the usefulness of a Wacom type device is that it is responsive to pen pressure and angle (on some) so the harder you touch the darker and/or bigger the tool gets, talking Photoshop anyway. Without that I'd probably prefer a mouse.

I got a Wacom tablet several years ago. I tried it out and it worked pretty well but I haven't really used it enough to be proficient. My muscle memory is oriented toward my old methods.
One problem is that I gave up using a mouse a couple decades ago. A mouse requires free desk space, and I rarely had that, with all the junk I collect on my desk. I switched to a trackball and have used one ever since. I recently got a wireless Logitech trackball that has a button that slows down the mouse. It makes it possible to do finer work.
The tablet also requires me to clean off a small space on my desk. Not gonna happen easily.

DirtFarmer, thanks for the comments about a trackball. Couple decades ago I had one and liked it. Bought a new computer & started using standard mouse. I am going to check Amazon about a wireless trackball. Again, Thanks
