Note Pro, OSX screen mirroring and photoshop

[Matthew Child]

I've recently seen the note pro and amazed by the touch sensitivity of the stylus.
I'm trying to find if anyone has used it to do screen mirroring from their 27" imac. I'm interested in using Photoshop on my mac, mirroring the screen to the note pro (as it has identical resolution).

I want to know how good it really is? Can I still use the stylus and get all the pressure levels. Is it like using the computer in front of you?

Also what app would you be using the one I have seen listed so far is iDisplay.

Hi Matthew,

I haven't seen or heard a way of mirroring your Mac's display on the tablet, but if that app does what it claims it does, it's entirely doable (or with apps like TeamViewer or Remote Desktop).

However, mirroring in principle is just that, a mirror image of whatever goes on in your computer. As such, you can only emulate the mouse pointer and keyboard input. For the S-Pen to work with pressure sensitivity, you need the special code for such functionality, and that resides only on your tablet's OS and apps. You could use Photoshop *the tablet version) on your tablet though. Not as full-fledged as the Desktop version, but also not a bare-bones app like Photoshop express. That way, you do get S-Pen pressure sensitivity and with Adobe's Cloud service, you can continue your work on your Mac and viceversa.

I've tried Air Stylus and it works ok. I can't imagine it being a daily driver kind of thing though but I'm FAR from a graphic artist so maybe . . . my only issue with it is resolution and that's no big fault on the developers but rather with it trying to match native resolution on such a small display the graphical elements are tiny. YMMV since I'm using it with a retina macbook pro. You're able to scale up (zoom in) to do more detailed work so that's a plus.

With Air Stylus you do get full pressure sensitivity function in Adobe applications like Photoshop so it works for airbrushing etc.
