hi john

auto painting is not something I am familiar with - so I thought I'd check it out [painter 11], 'bout time I did

following the help - underpainting and quick masking first - I did not get any apparent problems provided, as Christine says, I kept focus in the program

I used van Gough - I'll try it with Sargent idc

is it possible to post up an example image that you are trying to paint - unlikely to be that in itself I would have thought, but you never know...
