I am a hobby photographer. A digital hobby photographer. One of the negative things of being of being digital is that good software often costs money and much are really expensive to. Therefore I am on the look for cheap or open source alternatives.

The site is the forum of the Flickr group  Open Source Photography (OSP).

I got a Wacom tablet for my birthday. It’s ideal for making drawings with my PC. It’s easy to setup and I get good results from what I do. Off course I am no artist so it’s nothing fancy. It’s much easier to use a tablet than to draw or retouch with the mouse.

I have gotten the tablet to work in Windows and on my Mac, but I have had trouble getting it to work well in Linux. The problem is that the drawing area on the tablet is only a small portion of the drawing in my preferred applications. The GIMP and Inkscape. I haven’t found any solutions for the problem until I read this article in Linux.com. Now it seems to be a way for me to use Linux also for drawing and retouching.

Here is one of the drawings I have made with my tablet.
