I would think with at great photo editor like PhotoPaint there would be more 'Photo' chatter.
I would love to do some color correcting, color management stuff however color critical discussions need much more serious resolution and calibration. Then we can seperate the technical from the artistic. You see a few thing in the design forum.
Here I'll post two examples of live work, first the original converted to sRGB for web viewing and the second corrected. Proplem being is that many users don't have calibrated systems nor ambient views conditions control to see thing properly.
The problem with most photographic discussion is that some people just don't take constructive critical comments well, let's face it we like what we like and there are in many cases no right or wrong in artistic intepretation just opinions so I don't understand why som people get such a thin skin about it.
Now o nth eother hand there are such things as proper and improper technical procedures, such as camera profiles and RAWS conversions, in many cases these have clear right and wrong, however even a wron procedure can be uad for an artistic outcome.

I'm currently trying to get Photopaint to work on my new touch notebook with stylus support. It works for about 10 minutes before the brush simply stops moving. This is the X5 demo. I'm almost certain that I saw this same problem years ago. I would love to hear how some of you who use Photopaint to draw/paint are able to avoid this problem, or do you just restart the application every 10 minutes or so? The other issue I see is that the brush simply can't keep up when drawing/painting. I make a stroke, and only half of it appears on screen unless I slow down and allow it to "catch up". Photoshop is of course considerably slower when it comes to zooming and panning which makes working with it feel like quicksand on this underspec'd machine which Photopaint is very fast and quite buggy. I'm a Photoshop user, but I'm also a person who uses the tool that gets the job done. The lesser of the two evils here is Photoshop because, while it's slower to get around, it's perfectly stable. The brush keeps up and it doesn't crash, hesitate, or glitch. It just needs to be lighter on it's feet. If anyone know a cure for the slow brush, or a cure for the bug that makes it simply stop working, I'd love to hear it.
