Hello,

I have three monitors. two are vertical and one sits on the desk angled up a bit. The desk monitor is 10-touch.
I use it for music creation and for Corel Painter but mostly useless for Photoshop work.

So my question is: I will like to make some use of the Multi-touch monitor when working on images. 
What is the best virtual keyboard or hotkey manager that can help my work flow with Photoshop and LightRoom.

    I would not know if such a device is manufactured. I would suggest using some web searches to see if there are any. Pen support requires both position and pressure could also support tilt and Rotation like some Wacom Pens. If tou usinf Wibdows and have a USB port available you could use something like a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet. I have use my Intuos Pro with my Surface Pro 3 all I need to is plug in the wireless Wacom adapter into the Surface's USB3 port.


    I just found out that the Surface Pro 4 pen uses blue tooth. The Surface Pro has built-in Blue Tooth and runs on Windows 10.

    My Window 10, 64 bit desk top PC does not have Blue Tooth but I can get a USB Blue Tooth 4.0 adaptor.

    My 23” Viewsonic TD2340 10-touch and the Surface Pro use capacitive touch.

    Will the Surface Pro Pen then work on my Viewsonic touch screen with a USB Blue Tooth adaptor?
    I've search all over Google but have not found the answer.


    The Top button on the Surface Pro 3 Pen is Blue tooth the can be used via eventghost and the ben is also blue tooth  so It must be paired to you machine Bluetooth support as a pen device.  So there must be some device support installed into windows.  I do not know if Windows Plug and play or Blue Tooth support would install the required support on a non surface machine for the position information need to be relative top the display which is calibrated with a windows tablet pen support.

    JJMack,

    It is much more than I asked for. Great!

    I need more time to check it out.

    So this is a PS plugin or a stand alone?

    The edit on the touch screen is reflected on the PS screen.

    I can see that I need to do a lot more research.

    Stands on its own.
