Photogenics will paint faster on smaller image windows. Try working on smaller windows.
If the painting speed is slow then try reducing the size of the brush and maybe increasing the pressure.
When composing it is often useful to turn up transparency so the original image can be seen underneath. This gives a more visual indication of the position of the composition.
The Palette window can be made smaller by clicking on the resize gadget (the one next the front-to-back gadget, top right). The colours list will be hidden. Clicking on the gadget again will bring back the colours list.
It is easier choosing colours with HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) than with the standard RGB colour system. HSB uses three sliders. Hue determines the base colour or tone of the colour, Saturation is how saturated the colour is (zero saturation is white, full saturation is the colour at full intensity) and Brightness varies from Black at zero to the full brightness of the colour at the other end of the scale. When shading images you often only need to change the brightness or saturation sliders.
