So I ordered a XP-Pen Artist 12 Regular to plug into my Macbook. It's a great tablet, but when I started to use it with Opentoonz, my drawings kept moving to the upper-right hand corner of my screen. I have heard some people tell me to check that the scaling is the same on both my computer and tablet. I did that, and nothing worked. Some people have told me that both resolutions need to be the same. I believe the resolutions are the same, and I tweaked some settings on my computer to help me. Again, it worked to no prevail. I tweaked every possible setting on Opentoonz, nothing worked. I tried mirroring the screens so they show the same thing, nothing worked. I did not just spend $200 for this not to work. This isn't a problem with my Artist 12 obviously. It's a problem with Opentoonz. If anyone knows how to fix this without buying a new drawing tablet, I would love it. Remember, I got a regular XP-Pen Artist 12 (I said "regular" because every time I look it up to find some answers, it thinks I'm talking about the XP-Pen Artist 12 PRO! I don't have the pro version), and a 2016 Macbook Pro with the current Mac OS 11.2. Please I need feedback!

Thanks you for your time.

It sounds like you've tried almost all of the common solutions. Make sure the tablet drivers are the most up-to-date version. Have you tried setting the tablet as the main screen?

I'm glad you are all set. You might want to post the solution you found, in case someone else runs into the same issue.

Usually when it says that it just means that you downloaded the software from an "unknown source." Except for the fact that this "unknown source" is the internet. Usually there are ways to bypass this warning without any problems.
