Re: [Gimp-developer] Win GIMP - tablet support
is there any hope for tablet (with pressure sensitivity at least) support in win port of the gimp? The issue isn't in the Windows port of *GIMP*. I am rather certain the problems are in the Windows backend in *GTK* (GDK). It needs to have some loving care applied to its tablet support. If it would work better, the existing tablet support in GIMP presumably would work fine as such also on Windows. It's mostly a question of inspiration and resources (access to a tablet and time). I do have a tablet (have had for a long time), but to tell the truth I rarely use it. I might have the inspiration. But, very seldom do I have time for one of those several hours long concentrated intense hacking sessions that I assume would be needed. And when I have such time, there always seems to be some other, more urgent, bug that needs fixing ;-) --tml ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Is there any need for translations or something like that? I can translate to Czech language, I am very experienced Gimp user on both windows and linux and I have written many tutorials for Gimp. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Aren't tablets (at least the more expensive, pressure- and tilt-sensitive ones) mainly used by graphics arts professionals? These guys typically live and breathe in Photoshop, don't they?

I doubt they would switch en masse to GIMP, even if their tablets did work perfectly in GIMP on Windows. --tml I am a graphics arts professional and I use mainly Gimp. I do not need pre-press functions like CMYK and so on so I am perfectly happy with current Gimp on Linux (2.0 is wonderful, i thank all developers!) BTW tablets are not only used by professionals, but also by many hobbyists, for example digital photographers. I know many amateur photographers which would use Gimp if it supported their tablet. A small tablet (with pressure sensitivity) can be bought for less than 50 Euro and this price is perfectly reasonable for any graphic arts hobbyist. At least it is far cheaper than Photoshop. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
