RE: Wacom tablet with Gimp?
#5
Previous advice with Wacoms and Windows was make sure you get the most up-to-date driver for your tablet. You might already have that but check anyway. http://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers

It looks like the latest are very recent, within the last month depending on model.

A quick search & this seems a reasonable run-down on installations. At least it is for Gimp 2.8 whereas beware of old postings. http://www.richardgnall.com/Wacom%20&%20...indows.pdf

Windows Gimp 2.8 is acknowledged as 'not-very-good' graphic-tablet support. No improvement forecast until maybe Gimp 3 so do not hold your breath.

Windows Gimp 2.6 is better (I am told) with tablets. Very easy to install Gimp 2.6 in parallel with Gimp 2.8 once Gimp 2.8 is installed. Gimp 2.6 installs to a different folder than 2.8 and once run creates a different gimp profile, C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.6

This is a US download mirror

Finally, I do have a Wacom tablet, an ancient Volito which gets pulled out now-and-again. Works fine in linux, not so good in Win10: see this, but do not take much notice.
