    The Gimp would be another free photo editing software that's like Photoshop.

    Is it an original X61 tablet SXGA+? They were prone to bubbling, my X61t SXGA+ was stolen from an X60t, so mine is not prone to the bubbling.

    GIMP is a good free program to make sig avatars in. My current HELLSING Edition! sig was made in GIMP in the matter of 2-3 hours (first time using the program).

    I do hope that the X61T that you've purchased has some warranty remaining...

    Bubbling - as Tsunade_Hime noted in his post - on these is very common and can only be addressed with a panel replacement...along with the "sparkly" effect of anti-glare coating which I personally find to be the biggest flaw on otherwise pretty well-designed machines...

    Good luck with your "new" tablet.
