Computer Art Questions

Here, you can post all your questions you may have about Graphics Tablets, how to work Paint, or any Q you may have about the computer drawing ways.


For instance, I'm itching to know how the heck I can find and use the Eraser on a graphics tablet program. I've found only two options, and both of them simlpy refuse to work. And I'm constantly in need of an eraser. *looks hopefully and expectantly at Gyfore and Draggy*

Well, I guess it depends on what kind of tablet you have...on mine, a Wacom Bamboo Fun, if you flip over the pen (like you would a pecil), the other side works as the eraser tool, with pressure-sensative tip and all. This is probably the same for all Wacoms...if you have something else, I'm sorry, I can't think of anything.

I don't have a tablet,but i want one. so, yeah.

lol, sorry, I don't have a tablet, but what Dowl said sounds reasonable. If you still can't figure it out, you might have to install or reinstall the Wacom Enhanced Driver...

(BTW, why'dya change you name, Beye? xD just wondering.)

Because when I write stories aka. play games, Ayra is my pen-name.

nononononononono. If anyone knows why DM's tablet is like that and if there is any other eraser tool.

Sorry, don't have one.

I don't either. If what I said up there doesn't work, I can't help

should we archive?

naw, she'll come back eventually, maybe I can help her when I know what exactly the problem is and what kind of tablet she's got.

okay, we'll wait for about two weeks.

Wait, this is also about Paint Q's, what if I need help on something?

Love you too, Brighty.


I made this board for ANY questions that ANYBODY has.

I've already tried that, Drag. My tablet is a VisTablet, rather cheap but it still works. The pen, sadly, just won't work like that. The Tablet isn't entirely meant for art, but it did come with a program. it was only after I installed it that I realized the program was a photo-editing program. It does have a section for free-art, but that's where the luck ends. The erasers won't work, and I can't find any reasons why.
I might try to reinstall it, like you said Gyfore...but I don't have high hopes.



What Paint things do you need help with, Ing?

Nothing really, just wanted to make a point. I might need help on something later.

Hmm...well, you always could just use the eraser tool on whatever program you are doing art on. a little ess convenient, maybe, but I do it myself sometimes.

Hey Darkmoon?
How do you make text on paint without the white backrounds?

you have to hit the button with the background that shows transparencey while you are using the type tool...the one next to the white bg button.

(sorry if that isn't explained well enough, i dont have paint anymore, though I used to)

Do what drag said or go to the top "IMAGE" and then select DRAW OPAQUE. If it is checked marked before you click on it it means the white background.
Is that explained okay?

Thanks, you two! Yes, I can understand your explanations
Anyhow I'll try it next time I'm on paint.
btw, what is a "bg"???

No clue, but does anyone know how to make your text bigger?

Yes.
So, you're typing on paint, right? Well, when you're done, highlight your text and right-ckick. One of the options is text toolbar. click that. now it works!

THANKIES~! *Huggles*
