I have also used this technique with success. It is the workflow that evolved for me while doing production drum scans to be handed off either for retouching and photocomposition or for archiving. The idea in that environment was to get the maximum amount of information in the scan while

I use dual 21" monitors and a 6x8" Wacom stylus tablet on Win2K and have done the same on Macs. Works great. I have always hated mice. I use a trackball in addition to the tablet. I would have had to quit my job after a couple of months if I had to use a mouse all day.

Perhaps you will think I'm biased, based on my email address, but I think "screen area" describes it quite well. Digital images are measured in pixels and the "screen area" setting tells the user how many pixels the area of the screen will display. What is wrong with that? When you change the
