Open SOurce photography

I just stumbled on the website Open Source Photography that deals with open source photography software. Here’s the old site with lots of tutorials.
The site is the forum of the Flickr group Open Source Photography (OSP).

Getting Wacom drawing tablets to work in Linux
November 8th, 2007
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.
