Interesting to read the various experiences ;-) I use a Wacom Graphire 3 with PWP and prefer it over using the mouse. I find the odd difficulty that Lorin mentions (with Windows 7) most annoying, however. If anyone knows a way to switch it off, please tell me. There are more issues with the tablet ...

I've used a basic Wacom tablet with Picture Window, and it works well enough,though it wouldn't for instance be pressure sensitive. On Windows Vista or 7 there is an odd difficulty (having to do with Windows not PWP ) where every time the pen touches the tablet it makes little circles. Supposedly th...

Dieter and Jonathan,

Thanks very much for your thoughts. I have reinstalled the printer driver and am working along those lines of your suggestions to troubleshoot. So far, the problem has not come up again when printing and I'm hopeful it will be ok now going forward.

It was necessary to use task manager to close out of the PWP 6 beta. A message appeared to the effect that Windows...

I had a Pixma 9000 when starting digital photography, and while it was a well made printer, Canon's dye inks won't, in all likelihood last well, especially with matte papers (Canon's glossy and lustre papers may encapsulate the inks and enhance their longevity, but then if one is serious about print...

A question regarding computer capability with PWP - In the 3-zone contrast transformation, for instance, there can be a good amount of going back and forth among the values for contrast, brightness and saturation for each of 3 zones. And, for each of these, the computer will generally want to rumina...
