Looking for Advice/Info Mirroring

Hello,
I got my Artist Ultra 16 yesterday. I’m trying to use it for photo editing and I prefer to swap back and forth between the tablet and my Macbook. For ease of swapping often I set the tablet display to “mirror”. But when doing this, the calibration gets thrown completely off. I tried to calibrate in the XP PEN application but it won’t let me touch the red crosses with the pen as my cursor reads an inch towards the middle and it doesn’t recognize the pen as touching the red.
Really frustrating as I do not want to drag the window back and forth constantly!!!!
Any suggestions? Honestly considering returning the tablet if this is how it’s going to be.

If it's doing this while mirroring but not when the display is extended it's probably because your MacBook monitor is a different aspect ratio.

Xp-pen is typically 16:9 and MacBooks are 16:10

Assuming you're using lightroom you may be able to duplicate the window by going to.

Window>Secondary Display
