Before I go into the artifact problems I had, I wanted to mention that I had some trouble on this forum, for a while it wouldn't let me post. I succeeded in getting to the reply post screen once the first time I tried, and then when I went to add a screenshot it told me I need to log in, so I did that, but every time after that it told me I need to login to reply, but then it just took me to my account and didn't let me go to the screen I was trying to get to, and acted like I'm not logged in at the corner. I restarted firefox and it worked.
I was having some considerable artifact problems after first launching Black Ink. The first time it came up, there were red static artifacts all over the place (no screenshot). After I made a new project, I zoomed in and out, and that seemed to fix that static, but I still had weird artifacts, which I screenshot. The default brush icons disappeared, the little preview window was green and splotchy, and the drawing area was obviously glitchy-looking. I did close and reopen Black Ink, and the artifact were gone. The first few times I launched it to test to make sure the artifacts were gone, it said "First-time setup...Installing: Microsoft VC Redlist Package (Step 1 of 1)". I also own a Wacom Bamboo Tablet, and it worked fine the first time I plugged it in. I did have trouble after updating Adobe AIR and closing the Bamboo Dock. Restarting Bamboo Dock and restarting Black Ink did not help, but Edit> Reset stylus calibration did fix it.
Specs:
Windows XP, Service Pack 3, latest updates
AMD Radeon HD 6670 graphics card
Core 2 Duo CPU
2GB RAM
Latest DirectX for Windows XP, 9.0c I believe it was
Hopefully this will be at least a little helpful to both developers and users.
