PyroMutt Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 So I just started using Paint.Net recently and I'm already beginning to love it, but after a few projects, my pen's sensitivity doesn't seem to be working as well as it had been. Instead of getting the fluid lines that usually comes in sweeping pen strokes, the line widths have been remaining the same density, which then makes whatever I try drawing completely lacking the kind of wispy lines I was hoping to achieve. Does the fault lie in Paint.Net? Or is it my tablet that's just not registering the pressure I'm applying on it? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Dart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 As of now, pen pressure sensitivity, should work with Paint.NET, so you may need to check your tablet settings. What brand and model of tablet do you own? And also, if you solve your tablet problem now, keep in mind, that pressure sensitivity will not work with the next release of Paint.NET. So don't get too comfortable with it If you do a lot of drawing with it or really want the pen pressure, I must honestly point you towards GIMP (which has a graphic UI that will make you cry, especially after using Paint.NET) or, if you don't mind shelling out a few dollars, Corel Painter Essentials.

PyroMutt Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 I just have a small 4x5 Wacom Graphire4 tablet. Cuz I'm cheap like that, but it works great nonetheless. So the next update will take away the pen sensitivity? Really? Augh, that's gonna bite. And what's really funny is that I actually left Gimp for Paint.Net because it was so much nicer and I couldn't really figure out anything on Gimp despite all the tutorials. Ah, man... xP Well, thanks! -Dart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceHeather Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hey PyroMutt, I have the exact same tablet as you, and I honestly DO NOT CARE that Paint.NET doesn't support tablet sensitivity. I did notice, in downloading and playing with a bunch of new plugins today, that "Splatter" does behave a lot like a pressure sensitive brush - it's based on how fast you move rather than how hard you press, but since I usually am moving slower when I'm trying to increase pressure, the effect is almost identical for me.
