Pressure sensitivity - pen support

Post by Salev »

It'd be great to have a pressure sensitivity feature like PDFAnnotator.
Please support Wacom pens, that would be so wonderful!

Thank you!

Hi Salev,

Thanks for the post - I'll pass the suggestion along to the Dev. Team for consideration. Please note that touch-screen support is an ongoing thing that we hope to keep adding to as development of the Editor progresses.

Cheers,

Thank you very much!

And is there a selection lasso to make it easier to crop, delete etc.?
That would be very helpful when using a Wacom pen.

Hello Salev,

We currently do not have such a tool, though we will add it to the wish list.

Thank you for your responses!

I wanted to ask about the progress.
Do you know whether there's a pen pressure sensitivity feature planned?

Hi Salev,

it is still a work in progress. We do plan on using pressure feedback from the stylus to change line thickness in the Pencil Tool. we are also working on settings to adjust the smoothing of the curves. The maths behind this is not trivial however and this is also ongoing.

We are hopeful that there will be something for you in a few months time.
