Mouse vs. Tablet

Sun Jul 09, 2017 3:30 am
Hi!

I am a newbie using Ktita 3.1.4 with a Wacom Intuos Pro S v. 6.3.23-1 tablet both running under Windows 7 Pro (64bit).

To practice, I started Krita, created a new file, selected a free hand brush, and changed the color a couple of times.

First, I doodled with the mouse. Then. I doodled with the tablet's pen. The problem is that the lines don't look the same. The pen's lines are thinner and lighter than the mouse's lines.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

Tablets have pressure sensitivity. Which means that they can make lines that are thinner. The mouse will always output 100% pressure, so the lines will be thicker.

Dear TheraHedwig,

Thank you for your reply.

By chance, do you know how to change the pressure settings in the Wacom Intuos Pro S v. 6.3.23-1 tablet?

Check if you have a wacom tablet settings utility and use that. I haven't seen this utility in years because it is not available on Linux, so you will need to do an internet search if you need more help.

David Revoy did make a nice page on pressure callibration: http://www.davidrevoy.com/article182/ca ... e-on-krita

Dear TheraHedwig,

Thank you for your reply.

I explored the Wacom Table Properties and changed the Tip Feel to Soft. It worked!
