I am using a tablet, trying to draw over a eyeshot of a celinox. But... nothing is happening. My mouse is working, but the tablet is not. I made a screenshot, if that helps at all, and the brush dynamics are normal. Is there something wrong with my tablet? It can still click links and stuff... it just won't draw. Also, if this is to be moved to a different forum, go right ahead ^^

edit: Another thing is, in the drawing screen, the arrows are tracking the mouse, but not the tablet. But the tablet makes the check-boxes light up whenever I hover above them...

Chit-Chat or Art Discussion would get you more answers.

I had that problem too when I first got my tablet (what kind do you have?) I think I fixed it by changing some tablet settings in Control Panel, but I'm not sure.

Also make sure you don't have a certain area selected on the canvas, and that you're working on the right layer.

Everything is set normally, and the canvas/layer thing is fine. Agh, this is so frustrating, now I can't do anything

Before I got photoshop for school, I had problems with my tablet with Gimp. Gimp doesn't much like tablets it seems. That said, try closing & reopening Gimp. If that doesn't work, try restarting your computer. If that doesn't work, reinstall your tablet's drivers.

gimp usually locks onto whatever you used to launch it. If you used a mouse to start the program, that may be the case. Exit gimp and start it again using your tablet pen. C:
