I am using a Lenovo x380 laptop with built in stylus… As soon as I try to draw on the page it goes to 100% pressure no matter what… It does not seem to be understanding the relationship between my stylus and the screen and the amount of pressure I am puttin in…
Every time I try to use krita there is bugs making it impossible I don’t get it as pencil 2d works fine without any faffing around with settings posting in forums …etc… Does krita just not have support for 2 in 1 laptops ? It always seems to fail at the most basic element of a illustration app, drawing…?
No it hasn’t. In fact, Krita has no specific code for handling any pen. It just takes the input signals as it gets them from the system. 99% the cases when something doesn’t work with the pressure or something, it is always bad, non existent, wrongly configured or out of date hardware drivers.
Have you already tried setting Krita up to use Windows-Ink, since from my search on the forum regarding 2 in 1 laptops, mostly Lenovo Yogas, this seems to be what has to be done.
ok i will try i just dont get why it doesnt just work I mean isnt that what this software is for? drawing?lol
now I will be trouble shooting for hours trying to get it to work… I will look at the posts… I looked for INK and cant find anything about turning it on or off in the settings… oh ok i found it , it makes no difference at all:
It’s just like having a car with manual instead of automatic transmission. It does not simply work because Windows doesn’t tell Krita the right things. I don’t know why they need two pointer APIs, ask Microsoft. (this isn’t even a Krita specific issue, happens in Photoshop as well and they have basically infinite money compared to Krita).
Did you even take a look on the screenshot of the post I linked? It’s even circled in red. If that’s not enough for you to find it, then I don’t know how to help you.
lol cant you see the video its all over the place one second its full pressure then its not then its shooting random lines out from the drawing path???
its right there in the video its not working at all…
I did the tablet test function and it works find in that
its useless doesnt work with a stylus in 2 in 1 laptop none of the versions of krita have ever worked for me, considering its a graphics software I would think having it work with a stylus would be important…
Hey, we are just trying to help you. And it is difficult to diagnose the issue over the internet. So I would suggest you to not be combative and needlessly in fowl tone. We are volunteers trying to help internet strangers for free.
As takiro mentioned Krita just takes what the OS gives it and surprisingly it works for majority of our users. We do not know what other software are doing. Without more information we can’t help you. And given your tone we might as well ignore threads like these.
@hobbowizard I’ve moved your post above into this topic where it belongs.
Your initially putting it in a 1 year old Development News topic served no useful purpose.
It’s one year old because the last reply in it was just over a year ago.
Also, that topic was news about the beta release of version 5.2.0 which is now history.
We are on version 5.2.6 now.
