Hi
Is there any ideal situation when one should choose to use Windows 8+ (windows ink) over default Wintab?
Are there any advantages to using Windows Ink option?
I’m on Windows 10 and using the Wacom Preferences settings software. It seems to be suggested that it’s best to keep Windows Ink enabled for pressure sensitivity, at least when it comes to Photoshop.
Being still new to Krita, I’d like to find out when to use what and how it effects working in Krita.
TIA
In the Wacom config/setup utility, you can create different profiles for different applications and it is a very good idea to do that.
That way, you don’t need to worry about what’s best for other applications and can concentrate on the settings in the krita profile.
The Wacom driver ‘knows’ which application you’re using and selects the appropriate profile, assuming you’ve made one.
The Wintab option is the simplest option because it doesn’t involve Windows Ink. Windows Ink can be a pain in the neck with its various peculiarities and obscure settings.
I’d suggest that you get the krita profile running with Wintab and only use Windows Ink if you have problems with Wintab.
Okay great thanks again!
One last thing (for now at least:) … is it best to manage Krita in Wacom’s config/setup utility especially when it comes to pressure curve, or use the tablet settings within Krita’s preferences?
Obviously don’t want them to clash.
They won’t clash but they will interact by sort of multiplying with each other.
My personal opinion is that it’s best to set the tablet characteristics to be ‘straight line’ and do any personal customisation for pressure ‘feel’ in krita because it has a very nice adjustable multi-point curve transfer facility.
I personally had problems with Wintab, which caused the loss of pressure sensitivity when waking my PC. So I switched to the Windows Ink option and don’t have this issue anymore.
So you mean keep “straight line” pressure in the Wacom utility settings, and then adjust any pressure curve within the Krita’s tablet settings? Just to be clear…
@redrobin Yes 
@Hologram My Windows 10 system is fine with Wintab and my Wacom tablet.
Graphics tablet problems and behaviour are a magical mystery and you have to stir the pot until it works for you.
Yeah, one can have so many drivers that could be conflicting.
Anyways, fiddle around and if you encounter a problem try the other option.
Good thing there’s an alternative option then … tech is wonderful … when it works 
… sucks when it doesn’t. Always a blessing to find a solution
I’d say have fun thinkering, as frustrating as it can be, if it works in the end, it was worth the effort 
And it can be quite rewarding too.
