Tcp/ip picture editing app?

[bvlaar]

Hey everyone. I am looking for a program for windows xp that will allow me and several other friends to all edit a picture in real time. We are studying some pictures/diagrams but we would like to draw on it and point things out all at once.

Any help would be awesome!
If my description is a little confusing ill try and re-explain :P

You want to have the ability to have a picture hosted locally someplace on one machine, and have multiple users able to "remote" in and edit it in real time? I don't see it happening somehow, but it would be cool. I just don't see how it would be possible with our currently available technology. Although I am sure that it is through currently unavailable technology.

VNC may work

That could get you a tunnel, but multiple tunnels I doubt.

If i remember correctly many years ago when I used MSN messenger, you could start a "white board" session when a friend and both of you could draw on the virtual white board at the same time, including changing things the other person drew. I don't know if it would work with more then 2 people or if you could start with an image instead of the plain white background.

Also, it might have been net meating. I don't remember which. It was a long time ago.

You are right i think, I remember whiteboard, but I never used it at all, just heard of it.

Although I am sure that it is through currently unavailable technology.this type of thing is fairly common. I do it regularly via a subscription service called iLinc - its like a WebEx/MS LiveMeeting type thing we use for corporate demos.

That allows application sharing on a single hosted computer. Another alternative (but far more basic) might even be an electronic "whiteboard" style app - but it will be bare bones.

BTW - I don't think VNC will do it either ... I think it only opens a single tunnel.

yeah, I don't know about multiple people editing, mouse control would be an issue

it does say on their site a professor could use it to show students something by having all the students connect via VNC to watch what they are doing.

Ok so this service will allow multiple people to edit the image?

Maybe i'm explaining this wrong.. I play Counter Strike and i'm on a team. We make up strategies for each map. But since were spread out across Canada we can't meet up and bust out some map blueprints so we thought we could import a map and we could show each other where to play on the map? Haha, I know this is kinda confusing.

Thanks for all of the reply's!

RealVNC can allow for multiple shared connections, but only one person can control the mouse/active window at a time.
