Very easy to install Gimp 2.6 in parallel with Gimp 2.8 once Gimp 2.8 is installed. Windows Gimp 2.6 is better (I am told) with tablets. No improvement forecast until maybe Gimp 3 so do not hold your breath. Windows Gimp 2.8 is acknowledged as 'not-very-good' graphic-tablet support. At least it is for Gimp 2.8 whereas beware of old postings. It looks like the latest are very recent, within the last month depending on model.Ī quick search & this seems a reasonable run-down on installations. You might already have that but check anyway. Previous advice with Wacoms and Windows was make sure you get the most up-to-date driver for your tablet. Depending on computer graphics capability, it may appear the graphics tablet is to blame when in fact the graphics driver settings are the culprit. It's possible to have more than one input device enabled and confuse GIMP.Ĭareful selection of settings will determine failure or success.Įven more challenging is to configure Krita. In some cases, GIMP input settings may need to be properly adjusted by selecting:Įdit > Preferences > Input Devices > Configure Extended input Devices > Mode > or or I'm praying that it will work and that I have not made a useless purchase.Įvery WACOM tablet I have ever purchased has worked very well with GIMP.

I had bought a WACOM and have not yet tried to connect or use it. Do we know if it has the ability to work with the pen tablets or was that not a consideration in the programming.

This incorporated layers, saves in native file format as well as Photoshop and the usuals (this is a jpg) Herewith, a simple quick sketch demonstrating the line feature. It's not totally free, but the price (around $70 I think) is a far cry from having to rent Photoshop or Painter (idiotic concept) It also handles most if not all of the features that Gimp does. SAI immediately made friends with Wacom, including the simple line drawing feature I was after. Gimp does a lot of cool stuff, but my simple desire to draw an ink line that shifted in thickness based on the stylus pressure seemed to be an insurmountable task, not to mention all the hoop-jumping just to get Wacom and Gimp to talk I discovered a possible interesting solution that I'm trying called SAI ( ) Inspired by frustration with trying to get Gimp to shake hands with my Wacom Intuos 3 pen tablet, I went searching for another software that would accomplish my simple goals without so much monkey business.
