Hey guys,
I recently bought myself a graphics tablet to draw stuff on the computer, I was wondering if there is a way to make the tablet like a canvas and only work on the canvas of photoshop or something instead of moving my mouse all over my screens and such?
Any ideas if this is possible or what?
Your tablet should be mapped to your primary monitor - are you saying it acts the same as a mouse, where you lift and drag the cursor across multiple screens? Because that's not how it should go. If you lift the stylus and drop it on the bottom corner of your tablet, the cursor should appear in the bottom corner of your screen no matter where it was before.
If it's acting like a mouse instead, you'll just need drivers for it. If it's a Wacom you can grab them from the website, other brands might do the same thing or there could be a driver disk with the tablet's packaging.
On the other hand if you mean it is acting as normal (mapped to one monitor) and you want it to be mapped only to your canvas, there's no way of doing that as far as I know. Mainly because it would mean switching to your mouse every time you wanted to do something in the UI or use anything other than the canvas.
You mean map it to the area in Photoshop you are working with? You can go to Wacome Tablet Properties > Grip Pen > Mapping > Screen Area > Portion > and select whatever you want to work with. You can keep the mouse full screen if you're working with the intuos or just use the buttons on the side for the UI. Of course this only applies to Wacom tablets. Or it might be what Mako said and you just don't have the drivers installed.
Thanks guys, still can't seem to sort it.. It's set to map over the two screens by default and I can't find the option to fix that. Drivers are all up to date.

That's how I set it for bamboo pen&touch.
