  2. Where Can I download Open Canvas?

    That is a good site to learn about settings and what they do.

    This link shows you a process I learned as I first got my intuos and tried out my tablet for the first time using Open Canvas

  4. How Do I network With Open Canvas?

    You can only network with version 1.1 Newer versions DO NOT have networking.

    Networking is covered pretty well here:

    http://www.angelfire.com/anime/Jessjessica/oc/7.html

    Generally if you're getting a connection error with OC it is due to a router problem, you can use Hamachi to create a virtual network that allows one to connect.

    There is also the option of using Warpaint I may end up creating a server for this program as well.



I'll add any other questions later or go in depth in case users have more questions.
