I would think with at great photo editor like PhotoPaint there would be more 'Photo' chatter.

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.

I posted a photo for discussion for the first time very recently, but in the Design & Illustration Critique forum.
In fact, I was also thinking that my photo was perhaps a little OT there, but that's where the discussion was occurring that prompted me to post mine. Now I know where it would really have been at home.
I've been reading your articles at Holy Crop! and found them very useful so far, thanks for that.
When I post my next photo experiment it will be here

Hi Rikk,
I believe it might have to do with people not asking questions so much using Photo-Paint.
This is more like it!
