I've heard good things about the Kamvas so if you've got it working alongside gimp you're onto a winner
Happy drawing :-)
P.s not encountered the beading thing yet but that's useful to know, thank you.
I just got a Kamvas 13 this week. I am just starting to use it.
Does it work with GIMP?
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: I'm still figuring that out.
Explanation: It readily works just like a mouse, except the form factor is better for your hand. But I'm guessing you want to take advantage of the pressure sensitivity the stylus affords you. I found this video that shows how to turn it on in GIMP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQl6ZQFDiJ4
That works. But...When I draw a line quickly, it's beaded, or it looks like you took a flat ribbon and twisted it. I'm guessing something to do with the pen/tablet refresh rate? It's maybe not sending enough samples, if that makes sense?
I actually came here to figure out the beading...
EDIT: This problem occurs with "Basic Dynamics." But in the brush options pane, right below Force and to the left of the word "Dynamics" there is a little square icon. Clicking that icon allows you to choose Dynamics mode, like Pressure Size or Pressure Opacity. The beading issue does not occur in these modes.
So does the Kamvas 13 work with GIMP? I'm satisfied so far, so I say "Yes."
