Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP 2.10 / WACOM Issues?

Sadly GIMP (and/or GTK+) isn't entirely predictable when it comes to tablet problems....


I've never had problems with Wacom tablets on my GIMP installation (aside from the occasional failure to 
detect the tablet at all), unfortunately I'm not quite sure I understand the description.  Nonetheless, 
here's a few quick things to check / rule out:


- Screen/window mode.  It should definitely be set to "Screen", so this doesn't seem to be the cause....

- Pen/mouse mode.  If, for example, you pick up the pen from point A and put it down on point B but the 
cursor doesn't immediately snap to the new location, then you've got the stylus set on mouse (relative 
movement) mode.  Check your Wacom tablet control panel to be sure it's on Pen (absolute movement) mode.

Hi everyone,
I made this account because I can't seem to get my tablet set up to use pressure
size correctly. Once I learned how to edit custom dynamics I thought things
would be fine, however I seem to have come across even more problems which I
can't find any solutions for.
On one hand, the pressure size dynamic does work, hooray! Only now my pen and
the drawing cursor are not lined up. When I go to put a line down the pencil
goes off to the right and gets closer as I go left, possibly a resolution issue
I'm led to believe, however this offset is only inside the drawing area,
everywhere else is perfectly fine. Not only that, but when this occurs the
button shortcuts I have set to the pen's two buttons seem to be ignored for what
I imagine are the default settings and will not change back.
My pen and eraser are both set to 'screen' in input settings and another forum
said to ensure 'DirectX' is active in the controllers menu.
I have tried multiple versions of GIMP and they all seem to give me the same
problem.
What can I do to make GIMP recognize the correct position of the cursor and the
shortcuts?
I can get additional details and screenshots if needed.
BIG thanks in advance for nayone who helps.
