In this tutorial using GIMP 2.10.18, I show you how to properly map your Wacom Tablet (pen tablet) so that you get all of the best features from your tablet working in GIMP. This tutorial will speed up your workflow by allowing you to assign shortcuts and tools to the Express Keys on your tablet, as well as assigning common actions and menu items to your tablet's buttons or Touch Ring. Your tablet is NOT broken, and neither is GIMP! You just need to ensure you have everything properly mapped to get the full functionality and benefits that come with using a drawing tablet.
I also show you how to download and install the Wacom driver for your computer in the beginning, while going over how to make sure the tablet is properly connected to GIMP and set up for Dynamic brush/paint features.

I did think the Wacom tablet was a bad decision as there's not very good tutorials online that shows you how to setup and use your tablet. Great tutorial once again. I will set this up now with inkscape also

Thank you so much for providing this excellent tutorial. I followed the instructions closely and can use my tablet with GIMP however using the buttons set up in 'App shortcuts' panel do not behave exactly as I had expected. I see that Not Techy Tutorials has made a similar comment. Some examples below. 1. Select the Path tool 2. Click on the image a few times to add a few anchor points 3. Bring up the 'App shortcuts' panel and use the 'Undo' button - Nothing happens. I found that if I selected the path in the Paths dockable dialog first then clicked 'Undo' it worked. Similarly I set up one of the buttons to be 'Move' i.e. shortcut m 1. Open an image 2. Open a second image as layers 3. Bring up the 'App shortcuts' panel select the 'Move' button 4. Try and drag the second image to move it - nothing happens. Again I found I needed to select the appropriate layer first. Its like you have to get the focus back on an 'object' even though in theory it should already have focus. I'm a complete novice using both tablet and Gimp so perhaps this behaviour is not unexpected? Gimp 2.20.20 revision 1, Intuos Pro M

I have exactly the same wacom tablet and learned a lot from this tutorial, thankyou !

@sidrotten21 4 года назад

Fantastic just started to use a small wacom tablet which makes using gimp so much easier now i know how to use the tablet and how to set up the shortcuts its going to make a massive difference. thanks.

@garethdavies1073 3 месяца назад

Great tutorial, thanks pal. Just one question, is there a way to get the tilt function working in gimp? It's not as essential now with the touch ring but I am curious

@gowerdbrown 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. You answered all my questions.

@ShawnDelaney 4 года назад

Something that NEEDS to be pointed out is that, you must use the STYLUS to go through the setup. Because if you (as I did) enter settings using the MOUSE, and then pick up the stylus again, it will detect the input device has changed and the settings WILL NOT be what you entered!

Wow..that's a "Save The Day Tip" there❗..😱 I'm a total Noob with this, but what you said sounded pretty important...THANKYOOU👍🏁🏁🏆🏆🏆 BIG TIME

Hi, I have issue with my tablet. I don't know why but shortcuts don't wotk in my GIMP... I do like the tutorial show but nothing is happen. I try press copy and paste but nothing happen. Once I was able to use it but then somehow stop work again... I try use other version of GIMP, but still nothing. Do I do something wrong? My tablet is Intuos Pro S. Please help.

@coldstuff9784 4 года назад

Thank you and I love you, I also appreciate the lefty suggestion. I just got done installing some old Windows 10 left-handed cursors as I was setting everything up. My only problem is how do I un-rotate the canvas?

@er4manu258 2 года назад

we should be able to disable the stylus buttons. when I'm painting on gimp, the lower button of the stylus is in a weird position since I'm left hander and I use to press it with my thumb accidentaly. This opens the right click window in the middle of the canvas, messing off my focus and causing some of frustration when it happens repeatedly but for some reason we are not able to disable em.

@leonie1498 Год назад

Also frustrating when you're trying to assign ''Erase'' to one of the buttons and you still get 'rightclick'.

@bigbadlouroma 3 года назад

Thanks for the information man!!!! New sub here!!!

@ashleybrewin5164 4 года назад

Thank you for the most informative tutorial which I have followed and successfully set things up in Windows. However, I mostly use Linux Mint for work: are you able to give any tips or hints about mapping the Wacom tablet to GIMP in Linux?

@TimMatrix Год назад

I agree. Please create a video with Linux as the OS. I use Linux MX. Some others may use Linux Mint, or Ubuntu, etc...

@JoninPrime 4 года назад

I have mapped it correctly however when I start drawing it shows up elsewhere. What settings should I try to fix this?

@john404201 4 года назад

@elikemdeboss9949 4 года назад

Can you please make a tutorial on how to create custom brushes in GIMP 2.10.18

@jasonsadliberty1503 3 года назад

YES!!!! ....WHAT HE SAYS ❗ Custom brushes...pleeeasse❓🏆

@nottechytutorials 4 года назад

I followed your instructions but the first button for GIMP shortcuts, when I use it in GIMP nothing happens.

@leonie1498 Год назад

Same for me, found an answer yet?

@nottechytutorials Год назад

@@leonie1498 I don't think I ever figured that out. I just replaced it with another shortcut, like "shift". My OS recently updated and I could remap all the buttons and keep it there now (instead of redoing it everytime), but I still don't see an option for that shortcut.

@timothy911 3 года назад

How do you write the forward slash in on screen shortcuts? And another thing. My gimp wont register when I use my on screen shortcuts any suggestions to why this happens?

@leonie1498 Год назад

Don't know if you found an answer yet but I have the sameproblem. The Gimp/screen shortcuts like 'undo' are not working when i want to use them. Only when I click at undo history in the program. Then the undo on my shortcut works. But it's very frustrating

@spiderweb4089 3 года назад

Thank you

@Fahnder99 Год назад

The keyboard shortcuts also sometimes don't work. For example, the [ may be reached by AltGr-8 but is translated into Strg-Alt-8, hence "decrease tool by 1" does not work. In the end it's way simpler to have a keyboard at hand additionally anyways. And the Zoom button still is a big disappointment to me, it's just not responsible or sensitive enough. This is bad for a device with the price tag of a washing machine. Anyways, good video, thank you!

@thunderstrike8935 2 года назад

Ok, old video bup hopefully someone can help. HOW THE HECK TO I ACCESS THE TOUCH RING?!?! I've looked it up all over and nothing seems to know what I am talking about.

@dariusgavenia7097 3 года назад

Why my tablet in gimp doesn't start painting instantly. It just waits and then draws straight line.

@MervB1 2 года назад

Has anyone successfully added A15 Pro to Gimp 2.10?

@xiuyoalli 2 года назад

@RobertShaverOfAustin 4 года назад

Where's the Linux driver?

@CarnivoreIam 3 года назад

Nope, Pen wont work in Gimp either.

@getrekt3983 3 года назад

way too slow of a start bro if people are on this tutorial it means they know how to map shortcuts already and are just looking for the best shortcuts to map
