Hello I wanted to draw your Attention to Lazy Nezumy Pro. Maybe some of you know it already. Lazy Nezumy = LN only run under Windows, unfortunately there is no Mac version. LN is a Tool that allows you to paint with a great variety of Rulers in Graphicsprograms that don't have these Rulers. Originally, I believe, it was used as a Tool for Photoshop. But you can use it with many other Graphics programs. [b]By the way also in[/b] [b]Flame Painter[/b] [b];-)[/b] [b]Extra tip![/b] Try LN with a Vectorgraphicsprogram, because this can open possibilities you may not have thought of bevor. E.g. Affinity Designer or Inkscape, LN works great with Vector programs. As you may know, Rebelle has Rulers but LN offers way more possibilities with his Rulers. In LN there are the following rulers: Ellipse Quadratic Bezier Cubic Bezier Perspective Ellipse Radial Lines Parallel Lines Connected Lines Vanishing Lines Linear Perspective Isometric Perspective Fisheye Perspective Some of these rulers can also be combined with the L-Function of LN, this results in some unusual possibilities. Here a Link to the LN Website that will show the Rulers in a Video. [URL]https://lazynezumi.com/rulers[/URL] There is also a Demo Version which will work for 15 Days. To use LN: - Start LN. - Start your Graphicsprogram e.g Rebelle. - In LN go to Menu and select File > Hook Window - Now select the Rebelle Screen and put your Cursor over the Rebelle Screen, after a few Seconds LN will capture/hook the Rebelle Screen so all the Rulers of LN will now work with Rebelle. - Push the Start button in LN and you are ready to go. By press the Start button again you can also switch off LN for a while, if you like to draw with no rulers. I find LN from case to case quite practical at times, and as I said it can be used in many different Graphics programs. [b]( e.g Flame Painter ;-))[/b] I hope you find this Tip useful for your paintings. Wish you a nice day. Gottfried

I have Lazy Nezumi, but I don't know how to get it to work with Rebelle. Can you explain how to get LN working with Rebelle?

Hi AllenGladfelter I explained how to use LazyNezumi in my Post above. But here in short: ( LN = LazyNezumi ) To use LN: - Start Rebelle (or any other Graphicsprogram) - Start LN - Switch to LN and go to the Menu above and select "File > Hook Window" - Than switch to the Rebelle Screen and just put your Cursor over the Rebelle Screen after a few Seconds LN will "capture/hook" the Rebelle Screen (you note this by a short flicker) then all Rulers of LN will now directed to work with Rebelle. - At last you have to "Push the Start button in LN" and you are ready to go to paint in Rebelle and use all LN Rulers in with Rebelle. - By press the Start button again you can also switch off LN for a while, if you like to draw with no rulers. - To use the Ruler you like, go to LN Window, select the Ruler you want and switch to Rebelles Window and start to paint with this Ruler. Here a short video from LNs Website [URL]https://lazynezumi.com/faq[/URL] Please note, that in this video the Start Button in LN is allready pressed.

[USER=67717]@MxHeppa[/USER] You are welcome. LazyNezumi also works with Affinity Designer I tested this a few weeks ago. Also in other vector programs like Inkscape. By the way, I haven't found a Paint program yet that wouldn't work with it, you can even use it in FlamePainter as I mentioned above.

LN is a killer tool. Within Windows, I've found it does not play with Windows Ink and WinTab is the way to go from within Rebelle's preferences. Definitely worth the purchase if you are looking for accurate elipses etc.

Hi [USER=6043]@primabrachii[/USER] I have no problems as you describe. For me, LazyNezumi runs very well together with Rebelle in both Windows Ink and WinTab modes. Have not yet found a program that does not work with LN. You can even use it with vector programs. By the way it is also very usable together with Escape Motions Flamepainter.

That's interesting - may be something to do with my tablet drivers (XP-Pen) but it was a headscratcher for a bit. The more I use Lazy Nezumi the more features i find it has... pretty indispensible now and yes it pretty much runs with everything.

For some reason it's not folowing the rules using my Surface Pen 2 in Rebelle 4. The mousepad can follow the rulers just fine (yay!), but the pen doesn't snap to them at all. Suggestions?

Ah! Figured it out, needed to switch to WinTab in settings! Thanks, y'all!
