This is for people that are as addicted as I am. And honestly, if you don’t own a tablet then this post isn’t even for you because it’s probably hard for you to envision where you’d use the tips/settings I’m about to give. I know I shouldn’t have to say this, but Wacom doesn’t pay me a penny to write about them. Sometimes those things are right inside Lightroom, but I have to say if there’s one non-Lightroom thing that I can’t live without for my photos, it’s my Wacom tablet. If you're comfortable with text editing/scripting, the options to configure the devices are great though.I always try to sit down and think up things that have become totally vital to my Lightroom workflow. If Canonical want artists using other OS switching to Ubuntu, they NEED to make a proper GUI tool for those widespread devices, or artists will return to other operating systems immediately. You have to get dirty with text editing anyway, it doesn't matter if you use Arch or Ubuntu, or if you buy a random UC Logic Tablet or Wacom one, to use the device like it should be used a similar amount of self effort is required, and this can put a lot of people off. Take that in mind before paying the extra Wacom price compared to other brands. but exactly this is what you have to do, otherwise the device is almost unusable for any serious work.
#HOW TO SET UP HOTKEYS ON WACOM INTUOS FULL#
I bought a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch a few days ago hoping to get full support without googling around for days and getting dirty in the terminal and heavy text editing. Sorry but the Ubuntu Wacom Gui tool doesn't offer enough options to fully make use of the device, button (re)mapping e.g is not supported, and and you really want to disable/configure the weird touch behaviour and defaults of the device for working without annoyances, or for using it as a mouse replacement. This was great, but those options seem to be gone or not working in Plasma 5. Personally, I think Ubuntu really has to put a lot more effort into the Wacom tablet setup and configuration tools, but still, get yourself a tablet, it is worth it!īy the way, KDE used to have even more customizability options, including the ability to easily switch between program specific button setups, so you could have a setup for Gimp, and another for Krita for instance. This one specifically for the correct numbers of the buttons in xsetwacom, that took me ages to figure out: These links will provide very useful information: I have not managed to get the LED displays to work, but I didn't try very hard and others seem to have managed it, and in my opinion, a tablet without those working can still be a killer tablet. I use a combination of the Wacom Tablet settings in System Settings and xsetwacom to set the buttons on my Intuos4 and Intuos5 to things like hotkeys, modifier keys and toggles (even the ring toggle button works). Still, you can buy a Wacom tablet knowing that you can get it to work well, though it will take a bit of work. Wacom support is not really up to scratch in 15.04. I know this is an old thread, but I think that the below information is relevant to those with the same question that mydoghasworms had a few years ago. I was even surprised to find that you can lock a tablet to a single monitor in a dual-monitor set-up. You can configure pens and erasers and buttons for all common Wacom tablets. It's all plug and play but with great graphical configuration options.
