GIMP :: Set Keys Of Graphics Tablet On Pen?
Dec 11, 2011
My graphics tablet is Wacom CLT-470/K (pen) without buttons on tablet. But my pen have two buttons and i want to know, how to set up them. For example i want that when i tap first button, undo the last change occurred. Of course i can set in properties of tablet driver (then tap first button, ctrl+z occured), but GIMP (!) still understand that first button (near the pen tip) is right mouse button, and second is middle mouse button, ever after reload GIMP. In old version GIMP, like 2.2.17, gimp understand pen button in accordance to properties of tablet driver, but old verstion is too unstable.

I've just installed GIMP to see if it can replace Photoshop for me. But I experience some weird troubles. When I try to use the text tool I can't type anything because all the keys acts as shortcut keys. Aren't these supposed to be overridden when using things like the text tool? I also have the same problems with dialog boxes. The tab key is used to hide toolbars, but when I open dialog boxes I would rather want to use tab to jump from one input box to another. Plus I couldn't enter numbers because the number keys was shortcuts for zoom level.I guess I'm just doing this all wrong? I'm on OSX Maverick.

Got one of those Graphics Tablets to draw with and would like some ideas of projects I could do in Photoshop using it. I'm guessing a lot of you use graphic tablets (like Wacom) in your work.
I just fool around in Photoshop, but would like to have some kind of goal instead of just minor edits and scribbling. Any ideas? What do you guys do with your tablet in PS?

I?ve been using a budget Graphics Tablet for a while now. Whilst this is fine for general brushwork I don?t get on with it enough to use as an alternative to a mouse.
I find that every time I click the button, the pointer moves. Icons move when I open an app, and objects or layers move when I open a context sensitive menu. I also find that when making selections slowly, or just generally drawing slowly, the pointer/brush is not truly steady. I?ve covered the pad with a sheet of paper which make the tip less slippery, but not enough for steady control.

trying to find a good graphics tablet and I was looking at the Wacom Graphire (6x11) and the Wacom Intuos (6x8). I would use the tablet for editing photographs and brushing.

I looked around last year before university for one of these, and had no luck, so now i'm asking before university starts again.Is there such a thing as ANY graphics tablet (not nessicarily Wacomn if they don't do one) that will work as soon as it is plugged into the USB port without any softwear drivers needed to be installed first? It would be a great help for uni, because we can't install stuff there.

For the past 2 months I've been using a Yiynova 10.1 tablet to design in Illustrator CS6. Later today I have an issue where the cursor would be on place but immediately move to a random area on screen. It is quick and I can keep my pen to point where I need to. However, everytime when I do close Illustrator the tablet seems to work perfectly. Photoshop and other programs seem to respond well with the pen and tablet, but Illustrator doesn't. I have ran a windows compatibility to all previous versions of windows and there are no results. I have reinstalled my Illustrator CS6 and the tablet doesn't want to play well still.

I have a Genius 8x6 tablet, and it worked fine with 2.6. 2.8 doesn't register the pressure on my tablet. I checked another thread about 2.8 not registering tablets, and it said to configure input devices and change the pen setting. I don't have a pen option on the devices list. All that shows up is is the core pointer/ mouse.

I just updated to GIMP 2.8, and my tablet -a digipro WP5540- does not work with GIMP unless it is in disabled mode under input devices. When "disabled", it works except with no pressure sensitivity. When "enabled", the tablet can be used to click on menu options and the brush will follow the tablet position at random intervals only when the cursor is not on the canvas.

I have been using bamboo fun with gimp(2.6 or older) for ages without any problems with either one. Today I finally managed to make it into the store and upgrade my tablet to bamboo pen and touch. Also found a new gimp version and decided to get that one as well. I uninstalled all old drivers and the old gimp before installing the new ones
So I got my pen tablet working and gimp 2.8 installed. Everything seemed to be just fine until I tried to add my tablet as an input devise. Gimp just does not show tablet on the list, it wont recognize it's pressure sensitivity or any similar things the tablet is supposed to do. I restarted my computer between installing the drivers and the latest gimp, I restarted after installing gimp. Heck, I've restarted my computer about a dozen times today and still nothing gimp wont find my tablet. I've deleted my old profile data from the .gimp2.6 folder in the uninstalling process so it cant be about that
I tried searching fixes and things that worked for 2.6 but none of those worked for me so here I am. I tried using both the latest drivers and the ones that came with the tablet but neither made gimp recognize the tablet that is working just fine with every other program in existence
I'm running win7

Graphic Designers and Photoshop hobbyists. This past weekend, I bought a graphics tablet. However, I’m having a hard time seeing the benefits in this thing. For those that have tried it or use it, what are your thoughts? Do you think it was a good investment or do you prefer the good old-fashioned mouse? I would use it mainly for photo editing.
It’s starting to get easier to control my cursor on screen, but when I tried photo editing, it was annoying. The precise control wasn’t there. For instance, a mouse is on a flat surface and when I need a precise edit, I can anchor my fingers on the table to move the mouse just that tiny bit that’s needed or just steady the mouse.
With the graphics tablet, I have to hoover the pen above the tablet and every movement in my hand, registers to the cursor on the screen and I couldn’t get the cursor to move just a miniscule amount because there was no way to fully steady the pen. I also had to keep leaning forward to access the CTRL or ALT keys on my keyboard. The other problem I had was that my wrist was actually starting to hurt. Although, that might have been due to how I was sitting, with the tablet in my lap – I don’t know.
Maybe I’m rushing to learn this and not giving myself enough time to get used to it and see the benefits, but as of right now, I like the mouse SO much better and am considering returning this tablet.

Recently I have been noticing that while I am drawing on gimp using my tablet at times the brushes start to freak out and just keep rotating constantly.
I cant make a straight line using a rectangle shaped brush. And this happens to all the brushes. It just makes everything look really messy.

After updating to GIMP2.8.4 I am seeing a constant problem with the canvas not updating after any change unless I move the cursor out of the image area. It starts updating immediately but if I move the cursor back it stops even if it hasn't finished redrawing. This is not just for image changes; the selection outline does not update either unless I move the cursor out of the image area! There's another problem with the selection outline - sometimes it just stops displaying, period, and I ave to use quick mask or save and close GIMP.

I had to restore my laptop to factory settings, which means I needed to re-install GIMP too. So I went to download GIMP on the site, and 2.8 was the only version there so I went for it. Installed my tablet too, with driver. GIMP recognizes the tablet, but whenever I try to draw, I get a semi see-through line, instead of a bold one - and there is no change in this when I change the pressure on the pen. When I used it before, it always changed the opacity of the brush in accordance with the pressure on the pen. But I don't know how to change this in GIMP now?

Using:
TB-5300 Slimline Design Tablet
Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit, problem occurs on both)
The problem I am having is that the X-coordinate for my pen tablet is incorrect. The paint brush appears to the left of the screen and doesn't move as far left/right as my pen does. By moving the position of the drawing area I have found that pressure works correctly. Strangely, the position of the mouse when being controlled by the pen tablet is correct, it's just the paint brush which is wrong.
I can correct this problem by uninstalling the pen tablets drivers, but then the pressure sensitivity stops working.
This problem fixed itself for about a few days, but then came back without anything apparently having changed in that time.
It's occuring in both a 32 and 64 bit version of windows.

I just installed cdr x5 on a tablet pc (asus slate B121) and I like it very much. But I begin to get frustrated by the Poliline tool.
Since this tool needs you to double click to end a curve I always get curves with added nodes to the ends (it's impossible to do a double-click with a pen without moving the pen between the two clicks.
The only workaround that I found is to move away the pen from the screen far enough so that you can press the space bar to end the curve without extra nodes. But this is really extra gymnastic for your arm... and quite annoying while you try to get the job done in few minutes.
So, is there a way to use the poliline tool without "putting down" the "unclicked" node while pressing the spacebar? Something similar to the freehand tool, but with the ability to draw curve-straight lines consecutively.

QUESTION:
Is it possible to obtain a drawing tablet which can be taken out, away from the computer and be used like a sketch-book when out and about? Then, after coming home with this drawing tablet, connect it into the computer and upload all the sketches you've done when out?
I presently use a Wacom Bamboo which connects into my laptop, but I sometimes would like to just take the 'Bamboo' out - draw on it like an electronic sketchbook - come home and put all my sketches into the computer for further work.

I need to use CorelDraw X5 the bigger the pain in the neck the issue becomes.
The tabket is a Wacom Intuos 3 an my pen is set up to have a right click for the lower side button, double click for the upper side button and single click for the nib. In all applications and Windows this works as expected but as soon as I run X5 I lose the right click and it takes several minutes to return after I have quit X5.
While using CorelDraw the only way to get a right click is to hold down the nib to bring up a pop up menu.
Is there a setting in the tablet driver (or CorelDraw?) that will stop this happening?

I'm trying to get the pressure levels for my tablet working right. I want it to increase hardness when I press harder, but instead hardness DECREASES. Is there a way to flip it around? The matrix just seems to be booleans, with only checkmarks or no checkmarks.
Actually, scratch that. Now the pressure levels aren't detecting AT ALL. I have the tablet enabled in Input Devices, and the pen is Pressure-Opacity but nothing changes based on pressure.
I tried this video but the fix did not work.

I'm having the problem with pen cursor when i use dual-monitor.
Before I run GIMP everything work fine, The pen cursor can move in both monitors.But when I run GIMP, It lock my pen area into only the main monitor, even if I close GIMP. So I need to restart my PC to use both monitor with my pen.
It seems to be fine locking pen cursor area in a single monitor, But GIMP cursor IS NOT CORRECT with pen cursor. They both should be the same, But they are not. As you can see in the photo.
I've tried changing the input mode for tablet to Screen and Window. But it still doesn't work.
PS.I'm running GIMP in Window 7 (32Bit), My tablet pen is Kanvus Life H85

I have a new computer that has Windows 8. I have attempted this with BOTH Gimp 2.8 AND 2.6. I have a regular Wacom Bamboo Tablet.
I've been hunting online for HOURS, and all I find are the same answers that don't work for me. What I find are answers like "Enable the pen and eraser in the Devices menu" and such and such. No, that does not work. Only the core pointer shows up in the devices menu, and there is NO WAY to change that. In the Input Controllers menu, what show up are DirectX DirectInput, Mouse Buttons, Keyboard, and Main Mouse Wheel. All of these are activated. Despite every attempt I've made, nothing changes. The tablet pen and eraser DOES NOT SHOW UP AT ALL.
Again, Core Pointer is the ONLY device that appears in the Input Devices. All available controllers are active. The tablet is plugged in, and YES, I opened Gimp WITH the tablet. I'm an artist who uses Gimp, so not having the ability to draw is like not having my lifeblood.

If there is a way of testing the pens sensitivity to pressure in real-time. I can hear it now. "Draw a line dummy."
To be more specific, any tool that can test number of levels of pressure sensitivity that a pen is capable of. I thought for sure I would find some downloadable software somewhere but no luck.
I'm using a Bamboo Pen and interested in how to verify it is in good working condition and reaching it's whopping 512 levels of sensitivity and also whether I'm pressing harder then I need to.

I am using GIMP 2.8, and the brush dynamics do not seem to work. Whenever I use Pressure/Opacity, no matter how hard or light I press, nothing happens to the opacity.
I tested my tablet's pressure sensitivity using the built in pressure test. Everything seems fine. It works fine with Photoshop CS2, but I want to use GIMP.
Everything seems fine when I use Speed/Size & Opacity.
Additional Information:
OS: Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
Tablet: Huion H690
GIMP: 2.8.2
