tablet support

you can use any tablet with copainter.

windows users may want to turn off distracting operating system features for tablets like flicks or pen feedback. a guide can be found here.

pressure sensitivity (for opacity control) is available for wacom tablets and requires a browser plugin which is installed automatically with the latest wacom driver software. please note that chrome does not support plugins anymore.

opacity control /
opacity jitter

opacity jitter takes a huge toll on performance and therefore requires fast hardware. re-/loading a picture that uses opacity jitter takes much longer.

tip: speed between browsers varies significantly so try out different browsers if this feature is important to you.
