Hello,
I am a new user of Gimp (2.10.38), but I have used several drawing programs including Sketchbook Pro. I replaced a failing 10-year-old MS Surface Pro (Windows 10) that I use with the stylus it came with. The stylus on the Surface Pro works as expected with Gimp, as well as all other programs that use a stylus.
The new computer is a Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 (Windows 11) that came with a Lenovo Slim Pen stylus (compatible with WGP, MPP2.0, AES2.0, and AES1.0 protocols). The stylus works perfectly with all other programs (apps) that I have tried so far, including Sketchbook Pro. It is not working with Gimp 2.10.38.
I have searched, viewed or read dozens of suggestions for making a stylus work with Gimp in the forums, YouTube, and other internet findings and have tried many of them. What I have been able to do so far is to create dots at the beginning of each attempted stroke of a brush (or pencil or pen). The dots are the same size no matter how much pressure I use to make the stroke, but at one point the dot sized were proportional to the pressure. The screenshot shows examples of four attempted strokes of the brush, and below those marks are strokes made using the mouse.
Any suggestions about how to get the stylus to work will be appreciated. Thanks!
Mike
