TheCrudNation Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I was wondering if there is a new estimate for when pen pressure sensitivity will be added to paint.net? I know that it was previously announced for 4.3, however Rick Brewster mentioned that not being so anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null54 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Quoting the Popular Feature Requests thread: Quote Tablet pressure sensitivity -- This was removed in v3.5. I'm hoping to add it back in. Update: Planned for inclusion in upcoming 4.4 release.

Rick Brewster Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Moved to the 4.4 release, as @null54 pointed out. 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Preliminary (rough-draft / alpha) support just booted up today ... still a bunch of work to fine-tune how things work, but it's making huge progress 1 3 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I suppose this means I'll have to see if I can find a driver for my somewhat ancient Wacom tablet that works on Windows 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It might be plug-and-play. You'll see it show up in Settings -> Diagnostics Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll see it show up in Settings -> Diagnostics I wish it were, but I doubt it. It's just too old, and no longer supported by Wacom. I had a driver that worked for XP and, I believe, Windows 7, but when Windows 10 came out I couldn't find one that worked. The Wacom website was of no help (other than to generously suggest I buy a brand new Wacom tablet). However, because Paint.NET didn't support pressure-sensitivity, and I wasn't using any other applications that would benefit much, I didn't really try especially hard. It's possible there's someway to use a compatibility mode. I know little about that sort of thing, but I vaguely recall it being mentioned in a discussion of the tablet. (I actually have four -- count 'em, four -- Wacom tablets that are likely in the same obsolete boat: a CTE 630, a CTE 630BT, an Intuos 2, and a Graphire 4.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 This is the one I'm testing with: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WLGJDX5/ I don't necessarily recommend it, it was just inexpensive and it does work. Plug-and-play on Windows 10 and 11, I don't think I've ever had to download and install drivers for it. I think your laptop also supports a pen, so that's worth checking out. (judging from the Diagnostics info you posted elsewhere) I'm also using my Surface Laptop 3 w/ the Surface Pen.

MJW Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I seem to have gotten my Wacom CTE 630BT tablet to work under Windows 11; though I can't yet say whether all the features, including pressure sensitivity,fully function. At least it's not always in mouse mode (i.e., relative instead of absolute positioning), which is what happened last time, when I tried to install it under Windows 10. To install it, I just downloaded the latest available driver from Wacom, which was for Windows 7. I then right clicked on the .exe file I'd downloaded, and selected (among the "more options") "Troubleshoot Compatibility." One of the options I was offered was to use the recommended settings. When I used them, it chose Windows 7, which makes sense. I then just ran the .exe file. Though it seems odd to me that choosing how to run the installation program would determine how the driver, itself, runs, that's what Microsoft said to do, and so far it appears to work. For some reason the tablet preference menu didn't initially recognize a compatible tablet was connected, but a minute or so later it did. I'm not sure what if anything I did to change that.

I also have an old Wacom Intuos and this may be incompatible too. But, I never got used to it anyway. Perhaps a new one is just what the doctor ordered.
