Is anyone using Photodesk on RO 5 (5.29, ARMX6)? I've been trying to use
it but I can't get the paintbrush and airbrush to work, except for the
special patterns under airbrush. I have tried with and without aemulor.
I'm fairly sure it did work with OS5 although I originally had it on RO6.

What version of Photodesk? There have been quite a few updates fixing
problems since I first ported it to 32 bit.

It's gone from bad to worse! I downloaded the fix but freshen threw out an
error, then Photodesk wouldn't run so I copied a back-up version from my
NAS and that won't run because it suspects a copyright infringement.

Just reinstall Photodesk from the original v3.14 !Install program and
then apply the v3.14-17 update.

Richard my setup is the same as yours - ARMX6 5.29 and 3.14.
It works for me without Aemulor.

Yes. I'm using the same on my ARMXX6 and it works fine.

Thank you Steve. For some reason (dementia?), I missed the free bugfix
upgrade line. Now sorted.

Aemulor might have been the problem as I was using Impression-X which
requires it. I put in an RMEnsure for the Aemulor module.

Anyway I now have a working version. Many thanks to Andrew at CJE-Micros
for the excellent customer support!
