Are you viewing it at 100%? Anything more than 100% will start to pixelatte.

I believe it is probably due to the colour management in both programs not being set to the same profile. Or the Default set up being strange in Photo-Paint.

Here's some guide for you to change...

Have you tried uninstalling the Wacom driver, then installing it again fresh?

Yes it is (it is in IX, X and the new version 11). If you see the square instead of the circle, left mouse click and hold till you get the fly out to select the circle. Just clicking on the little...

Painter IX does not work in CMYK. It can only export to CMYK in .psd (photoshop) format (which will change any out of gamut colours) but it will NOT read the colour format properly if you try and...

I did have a similar thing (not exactly half the size tho). When choosing 'New' doc in Painter by mistake I'd changed the Resolution from pixels per inch, to pixels per CM. Don't know if that's...

Have you got the 'Enhanced Brush Ghost' turned off? See Preferences/General. Having it turned on really slows down the brushes.

Yup... Painter seems fussy about the Wacom drivers (even the newest version 11, supposedly ok with vista).... my first resource, when things go screwy with the Pen is to either reset the Wacom...

Odd. Er, might be a stupid question, but did you remember to do a final save of the .riff file (after painting the tone) before saving the jpeg?

Otherwise I have no idea.

It's supposed to help you see the angle of the brush etc... frankly everyone turns it off because it's a resource hog and you don't need it.

See this thread here for which codec's I imported to make it work on my system.

Have you tried holding down the shift key as Painter starts up to reset Painter to its defaults? Painters start window connects to IE to update the images on the splash page - which may be why it's...

In the Toolbox palette at the bottom right you'll see the Nozzle Selector box. Click on it, then click on the small arrow on the top right of the flyout box. Select Load Nozzle to add one.

Is it possibly the ol' 'Preserve Transparency' bug?

Go to the Layers palette. In the top half you will see a box with Preserve Transparency next to it. The 'bug' is that the program thinks it's...

Try the Liquid Ink brushes - either the Fine Point or Smooth Round Nib. The Liquid Ink pens need their own special layer (the type with the ink droplet) tho one will automatically be created once...

Jinny's page on Keeping Painter 6 through Painter X.1 Running Smoothly may help you. Also I've noticed on my PC, which has Norton Protected Recycle bin on the rubbish box, clearing out the...

Yup... that'll teach me to type/think faster! haha!

;) :)

deleted, cause Jinny got in first while I was typing and said the same thing. ;o)

No problem. Hope it works for you. :)

You do need to check that your codec for playing .AVI formats is up-to-date.

I tested it out on my PC (XP).

First I tried to open an .AVI file. I got the same error code "No decompressor...

In addition to what Jinny said, just to clarify that Painter does not actually have a history menu window like Photoshop where you can choose exactly where to go back to. You only have the "Ctrl+Z"...

I have had a few occasions in the past where the eye dropper wouldn't select certain areas of my image (tho I haven't had the problem in a long while). And I came to the conclusion that the file...

If you're using the latest version of Painter (ie X) then there's a very slight possibility that a copy has been saved to a folder called 'Recovered' which Painter X usually puts somewhere on your...

It would only be a crutch if all you did is paint directly over a photo. Or trace a photo directly (ie... draw over the top of it).

To start this way would be a crutch.

However if what...

Have a look at the brush group called 'Photo', which have a dodge and a burn brush. They're not as good as dodge/burn in photoshop (tends to really over saturate/pixelate the colours if you aren't...
