GIMP :: Unable To Paint With Or Move Brush With Mouse Wacom Is Fine
Sep 17, 2013
When I move my mouse over the drawing area, the brush simply freezes at the corner next to the rulers, the regular cursor continues to move and I can click on the buttons, tools and menu, but my mouse is not functioning in the workspace, I can use my wacom tablet fine, but I still need my mouse to be functional for lassoo tools etc.
It is a very recent install, I may have some how buggered the mouse input when configuring my wacom.
I'm running Arch Linux, with KDE.

When I move my mouse over my image the brush cursor is not moving and it will not let me click on my image (with the mouse) the crosshair/cursor will follow it, however the brush will not, nor will any other tools, my wacom tablet however works fine.
I thought it must be something to do with GIMP accepting input but its not going as of yet.

I need to do some shading work in Gimp, and for this it would be very nice to have a quick way to change my brush size. Luckily there's a note in the gimp docs on how to program the mouse wheel to do this:
[URL] .....
My laptop only has a touchpad with a little scroll area on the side, but I can't think of a good reason why this should be any different from a scroll wheel on a real mouse. Unfortunately, though, following the documentation doesn't work.
In fact, as far as I can tell, the input controllers dialog does nothing at all on my system--I've looked at the settings for the all of the 'active controllers,' and none of the current settings there match with the actual behavior of Gimp as far as I can tell. It also worries me that the controller names are so generic--they're listed as 'Main Keyboard' and 'Main Mouse Wheel' rather than mentioning a synaptics touchpad, and my tablet doesn't even seem to be listed.
I am using Gimp 2.6.11 on Ubuntu.

I own a Wacom tablet and I've used it for about a year now.. and now that I mostly use my Laptop, I use the wacom tablet as a mouse pad (using the mouse that comes with it). I opened up photoshop today on my laptop and I was trying to erase some things using the brush command and it didn't work.. after an hour of panic and googleing I had the idea of using the pen.. which works.
I've deleted preferences, reset tools, and everything.. but its not working. No brush commands work (Clone, Brush, Eraser, etc.) but everything else will work.
I don't get it.. Is it something with pressure maybe?
Thats the only difference between mouse and pen.. pen adds pressure sensitivity.
I can't use the pen for pixel editing as well as I can use a mouse.

Once a selection is made with the selection tool using a fixed ratio, how can I move it or make fine adjustments to the size of the selected area that maintain that ratio?

I am using gimp in Lubuntu 12.04 (using gimp 2.8). The Wacom attached is a Splash.
When I select a brush/color besides the default, it automatically switches to the default/black when the pen gets close enough to be detected by the tablet.

A friend of mine got a new computer with Windows 8 (64).Intel Core i7-4770, NVIDIA GTX 645...Now he has installed GIMP from GIMP-org Everything works well, but it can not rearrange the layers with the mouse.Even he can not adhere Register to other docks with the mouse. He also tried it with GIMP Portable and Partha GIMP Portable (64) with the same effect.

you can see what i mean in the following picture examples.
Selecting a brush (any 1 pixel) brush
[URL]........
shows my selection . Drawing a straight line
[URL]........
Zooming in to the line (600%) you can see i can draw a marquee through half of it ...
[URL].........
No matter what 1 single pixel brush i use this will happen... no matter which computer i use cs6 on and different copies of the installation. Anyway have any insight into this? frankly... it's somewhat limiting that i can't use the brush for stroking a shape if i need a pixel line and yet soft curves that a pencil won't get you.

I was trying painting with gimp and there is a shortcut in gimp to change the size of the brush/opacity my moving the stylus like you can on photoshop or sketchbook pro.
ALT+ctrl on a mac
This would be an incredible time-saver for us artists and not very complex. If not I will suggest this feature to the gimo developers.

I am using the trial version of CS5 (probably going to upgrade at the end of the trial), and I've only found one thing about it that I don't like more than CS3. This is VERY VERY annoying, and I'm not sure if it's a glitch, or just a preference that needs to be reset:
When using the move tool, I will move something and it will just snap back to where it originally was. When it snaps back, it might move a few pixels over in the direction I was dragging, but it is definitely not moving to where I want it to go. The only way to get things to move the way I want to is by Free Transform...but it's annoying, when you're trying to design a layout, to have to free transform every element you want to move, first.
I'm guessing that this is a glitch because sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't...it's pretty random. I've tried turning Snap on and off, and nothing changes.

I'm using a Wacom Intuos2 tablet with GIMP 2.6.12, and it works fine except as the subject says, the eraser works like a brush. In Photoshop, I don't recall exactly what it does, but I believe switching to the eraser (meaning flipping the pen over to the "eraser" side" switches from the foreground color to the background color, so that it effectively works like an eraser.
How can I do that, or something similar, in GIMP? I've searched everywhere and most of the posts have to do with getting the tablet recognized (check) and implementing pressure (check).

I'm using a tablet with gimp and I want to be able to set the brush size for the paint brush and also for the eraser, separately. What happens now is that I'll set the paintbrush size to 10px, paint for a little while, turn the pen over to erase and the eraser will now be at 10px. So I'll adjust the eraser size to something like 50px, erase, turn over, and now the paintbrush is at 50px. Grrrrrrr... I tried creating new brushes for both the paintbrush and the eraser, but there's no brush size option. This is my first time using gimp so I'm probably missing something.

I'm a CS3 user, but just downloaded CS4 for trial. Unfortunately based on my experience so far it's unuseable. The problem is that Clone, Healing, Brush tools do not respond to my Wacom Mouse (I can move brushes around, but can not apply any corrections).
 If I use the Wacom pen, it works fine. I've seen a few posting on the Internet from others with the same problem, but can't see any solutions identified. I have Vista Ultimate 64, Intuos Tablet/Pen/Mouse, 8GB Memory and latest tablet drivers.

I am 65 yrs young and use the Lasso Tool,Polygonal and Magnetic tools with a mouse.I just cannot control the outline area definition as precise as shown in all the tutorials. The "walking ants" are always screwed up and all over the place! Also, holding down the mouse button and scrolling the track ball is very hard for my hands.
Will a Wacon tablet w/pencil provide a better manipulation of PS(CS5&6) functions for outlining areas to be modified?

When I start Photoshop my mouse works fine. Then I use the wacom pen of my clintiq hd that works also fine. But using the mouse again, the mouse clicks got a on second delay now. After restarting photoshop the mouse works normal again til I use the wacom pen. One use, and the mouse function is damaged.
Mouse and Pen work best together in other programs like Paint or InDesin. This one second delay of mouse clicks is a Photoshop-Cloud problem. I did not have it in CS3
I deactivated openGL, installed the newest wacom driver, installed the newest graphic card driver.... The whole System is new setted up with Win7.... Nothing worked. It is a Photoshop-Cloud-bug!
Is there a way to set Photoshop back to the start without restarting it? It would be useful to do it with one Click, when I need the mouse after using the wacom pen.

I get a LOT of Photoshop CC (64 or 32bit) mouse lag. I do NOT have a wacom tablet or driver (I've searched these forums for solutions). All the other Adobe products work fine.

I am unable to set up parametric brushes that work correctly with a keyboard shortcut. At first when I assigned the keyboard shortcut to increase or decrease the parametric brush radius, as explained here Setting up GIMP for Artistic work, nothing happened when I pressed my new shortcut. Finally I, for reasons beyond me pressed the "reset size to brushes native size" button and it worked....sorta. It seems to work only within a limited range.
For instance. I reduce the radius all the way down to 1 then "magic size reset button" which sets size to 3, then I get a small brush. However when I increase size past 2 for the radius it doesn't increase further(the actual brush on the screen, the numbers change but that's it) until I press the size reset button. It's really frustrating because I can increase the radius using the keyboard from 2 to 9000 but I'm only getting a 2 pixel increase on the screen, unless I do the size reset then it jumps. I'm using Gimp 2.8.4 on windows 8 also set up to use a wacom tablet.

Yesterday I download Gimp 2.8 and after eyedropper bug I found out that can´t move text layer during editing it. I don´t think to move layer tool.
I can´t move the layer during editing. I can move only with the borders of the text range. When I want move with active text layer, I must do it through the "move layer tool".

I added text to a new layer on a photo, I was able to adjust the angle to fit what I wanted but I am unable to move the text to where I want it on the photo. I would expect that there would be a select tool so that I could select objects and move them around but all I find is tools to paint with and such. Surely there is a way to move a text box around.

I have made my first object with the shapes tools, LS, and with the use of the Path Selection tools and then Grouped everything via the Layers panel.
Next I am suppose to add a New Layer and draw a Rectangle Shape and place the Shape Layer below the group and above a Layer w/a Radial Gradient . then I am suppose to use the Paint Brush on the Shape to Airbrush a light (light as in light from a light bulb not as in a shade) effect but when I go to select the Brush tool I am told I must Rasterize the Layer beforehand.
However, when I do Rasterize the Layer the Shape becomes filled with a color which leaves me unable to achieve the desired effect. I draw the shape with the Color Fill set to None.
I checked the "User Manual" but I have been unable to find an answer as to what I can do. I have tried using the Path tool to create a Selection before trying to use the Brush tool but that also tells me to Rasterize beforehand.

On a new transparent layer, I have drawn a straight line with the pencil tool. I select the Box Selection tool to select the whole line that I just drawn. I switch to the Move tool and made sure to move just the selection.
At this point, I would think that I would be able to move the line but only the box that is shown by the Box Selection tool moves. The line doesn't move at all. However, when I tell the Move tool to move the selected layer, the whole canvas moves, including the line. Why can't I just select just the line and move it?

I'm adding a layer(small picture of unicorn, for the sake of the example) to the default/first layer and I move it around the background for positioning.
Once I decide to add another layer/picture I cannot move the unicorn anymore, he is imprinted in the default layer. Is there a possibility that I can move it again after the manipulation with the second picture/layer?
In effect, I want to have the possibility to move many small pictures "at once"(its not really at once but very close to it, like I want to move stack of cards on my table), is that possible?

When I first started using Lightroom, the adjustment brush worked fine. Now, I will select the adjustment brush, click on the photo I'm editing, and a red circle will appear depending on the circumference I chose. If I look at the thumbnail in the navigation sidebar to the left, the red circle appears as a black circle in that photo. In addition, none of the sliders will work with the exception of the exposure adjuster. However, the effects of adjusting the exposure only appear in the thumbnail in the navigation sidebar; the main image will stay red in the area selected.
