Thanks Paul.

What I did understand from many previous discussions is that; the current
Piezo plug-in profiles are for the older (Sundance) inks actually and they
are not an exact match to the new Piezonotes. That's why I was asking what
kinds of adjustments (or profile swaps e.g.) should I do in order to achieve
WYSIWYP working style with Piezo plug-in (what a shame for them: I feel
fooled; I payed $150 to the software and then someone revealed that the
profiles were not up-to-date. I wonder if they will update the profiles in
the near future?).

Loris.
