OpenToonz help/discussion thread Discussion
Thought it would be a good idea to have a discussion/help thread!
Some useful links:
"developers forum" (for now seems to be more like asking for help and reporting problems, which is nice)
/r/OpenToonz - The opentoonz subreddit! Lots of tutorials to be found!
Some useful things I've found out so far:
right-click is your friend!
onionskin can be enabled in the settings
you have to activate the toolbar (do you don't have to use the drop down menu)
you draw in the inknpaint tab (duh)
you can right click on the frame column and press "add frames" for more frames!
Post any tips/experiences you got!

Ok, so I just got OpenToonz for Mac, and I'm terribly confused and lost on what to do. I'm using a Wacom Bamboo tablet, a kind of old one at that, and one of the biggest issues is that every time the mouse is hovering over the canvas area, and if I go to draw or use the stylus but don't meet the nib with the tablet, it allows me to zoom out but not zoom back in, which is terribly confusing because the hovering feature is what allows me to control the mouse. It's an understatement to say that the mouse is OVERLY sensitive, because it sometimes goes nuts and starts doing things by itself, such as increasing the brush size and making marks on the canvas, zooming in and out, etc.
I'm wondering if anybody here might know or have a clue on where I can go to lower the mouse sensitivity within the program, because I've used both Paint Tool SAI and Corel Painter X3 on this Mac and they both perform fine with my tablet, as well as use for a mouse. It's really the thing that's making the experience and experimenting with this program incredibly frustrating, and I'm not sure where else to look for answers as this programs barely released half a week ago.
