I have a question for you technology-wise Opponauts. Can I use an LG G Pad 8.3 as a Wacom-style touchscreen input on a PC using an app or cable connector? I want to use it as a tool for drawing in Photoshop (I'm terrible at drawing using a mouse). Preferably not too expensive, of course. Also, is it even a good idea to use a tablet as a drawing input for Photoshop?

Here's a C7 Corvette Stingray I saw in Florida for your time.

Typically no, but you can google around to see if anyone has created an app that makes that work.

Most tablets that I have experience with do not have any ability to send the touch input data like that, because it's a whole device, not a tablet surface alone.

I do know that there's a tablet out there by ASUS that actually has a Wacom writing surface. That, I would assume, has that provision, so the software probably exists.

I see. I was asking because I already have the LG tablet.

You probably already know this, but these aren't too expensive & obviously work perfectly.

I have the previous gen & love the thing.

I understand that. I was saying that, because the ASUS one runs Win 8.1, that there *may* be a provision for what you're talking about in the OS.
