Digital BW, The Print

Hi Larry...

I work on two monitors, mainly with images (as opposed to graphic art) but not always.

I am setup with Photoshop CS.  I put my image on the left monitor and the toolbars etc. on the right monitor.

I work with two mice (one on the right and the Wacom mouse on my left).  Also the Wacom pen on my left.  I'm left handed.

I find this setup very efficient and relaxing.  When I work detail areas I simply expand the image in Photoshop.

My Wacom is a 6 X 8 (which measures outside 10 X 11).  The fact that the tablet is not the exact ratio as the two monitors is essentially invisible to me.  I just work.

  Hi.  This is my first post to this forum, although I have been
  monitoring it for some time.

  I've been reading the discussion about the wacom tablets with
  interest.  I was wondering what people's experience was with using one
  (especially the smaller 4x5 ones) with two monitors.  I've read mixed
  reactions elsewhere about how well that works.  Thanks.
