3RunHomer Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Is there a software patch to make paint.net work better with the Wacom Bamboo tablet? The pressure-sensitive feature doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 In a way, yes. The software patch is called Windows Vista. :-P Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

3RunHomer Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 I have Vista but the pressure-sensitive feature doesn't work on my Bamboo tablet. We did disable something in Vista because when I first used the tablet the cursor kept changing to a circle then erasing instead of painting. That was some horrible feature of the Vista tablet software so I turned it off. But the pressure-sensitive wasn't working before I turned that off either.

Myrddin Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Have you updated the Wacom drivers or installed the Wacom software? It's what I did for my Volito2 tablet, Vista drivers aside. At the time of writing, for me Wacom's website is experiencing some technical difficulties, so you might need to hang fire for a while.

Curmudgeon Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 For Christmas, I bought myself a Wacom Intuos3 4x6, and promptly installed it. Immediately after installing, I checked for driver updates, and installed the newest one available. Then, I tried Paint.NET, and found that it didn't work. Worked fine in Gimp, and in Photoshop Elements, but not Paint.NET. Yes, it's Vista, not XP. So, I uninstalled all the drivers, and anything associated with the Wacom tablet, closed out every program that was running, and then did a fresh install using the original driver disk, and lo, and behold, it works. The pressure sensitivity eraser doesn't, but the brush does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabuzzz Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 So as far as I'm not having Windows Vista I cannot use pressure-sensitive? That's boring >_< *Sigh* stupid question, but would this extra function work if I would use another painting Program like Gimp or Phtoshop even when I still use Win XP?

david.atwell Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Possibly. I can't speak for the developers of those programs. If it makes you feel better, pressure sensitivity won't work for ANYone as soon as Paint.NET v3.5 comes out. He's removing that functionality from the program (possibly temporarily, possibly permanently) to improve a few things. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

Rick Brewster Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 It's also subject to very buggy drivers from the tablet manufacturers.
