Hi Leslie!

I've had this problem too... but for me it seems related to how close in I take the picture... or how much it's being compressed in Paint Shop Pro to view it. Only some of my paintings have had this problem with photography patterns and I found that by experimenting with the camera at different distances away, or very slightly different 'zooms' I could avoid the problem with the original photo. I've also run into a pattern like this appearing when re-sizing an image down.... and sometimes just slightly changing the size (a little larger or smaller) seemed to help.

Another thought: I haven't seen this kind of pattern at all since I've started using the Pintura 'portrait smooth' extra fine weave canvas which has a very smooth texture.... but I remember it from some of the shots of took of small paintings on much coarser "portrait" grade canvas from another company. So perhaps Mike's thought that the camera is accentuating a pattern that's really there has merit?
