drheller1 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I'm getting a drawing tablet soon and I want to know if it supports any tablet no matter what company or model or if there's certain tablets I should get that are only supported on PDN. Furthermore, how do drawing tablets work on PDN? Does it act as a mouse or will I need a mouse to select tools and other features? If I press the pen against the tablet will it automatically start drawing on the canvas or is that a limitation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 In order to properly support a drawing tablet, you'll need to upgrade to Paint.NET v5.0+ and the drawing tablet needs to support "Windows Ink". https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/121340-paintnet-50-alpha-build-8361-welcome-to-paintnet-50/ Hope this helps!

I didn't know this was a thing, wow. Is v5.0 actually stable, though? Or will there be a noticeable amount of instability and bugs? And will I have to move all of my plugins over?

Only the latest build (currently 5.0 beta build 8382) will have valid download links.
