Hi everyone,

 

I have not long managed to get a Huion GT220V2 Graphics Drawing Display Tablet/Monitor. I have gone to use Affinity Photo (on windows latest os, and affinity version 1.6.5.135). When I put the pen to the display affinity photo changes the tool instantly to the background eraser tool. I cannot use any tool with my pen and display as when I try it just change the tool back to the background eraser tool? Has anyone else had this? I have even tried the beta version and the same thing happens! Anyone got a fix?

 

Thanks!

It sounds like you're using the wrong side of the pen. Try using the other end and you should be fine. 

Thanks,

Gabe.

Thanks but the pen only has one end, its not like a pen for a ipad or android device.

Thanks,

Have you definitely got the right drivers in this case? Surely it's a driver/huion issue as that's the default behaviour when you using the "eraser" end of your pen.

Yes definitely got all the right drivers, I am an animator and use this tablet daily in other multiple software's fine. My pen does not have an eraser end. Only a pen nib end, if you want to erase you use the erase tool with the pen nib as you would a brush or pencil etc. It is only affinity photo that seems to have a problem.

See if any of the suggestions in this thread can help

I've had the same problem with a different Huion tablet.  I eventually fixed it while playing with the Windows Ink settings and deleting / reinstalling the tablet drivers.  Frustratingly, I've tried to replicate what I did but can't get back to the original problem!  The only thing I can think of that might help is to make sure that old drivers are deleted and don't hang around in memory  (they can be tenacious!).

Yeah, I have had a look at the windows ink settings but that didn't help. It seems as long as I keep the pen really close to the screen it can work. I will try re-installing the huion drivers later on, in the middle of an animation right now and can't be without my beloved pen and monitor ha ha!
