Paint Shop Pro 7 for Dummies

This is THE book I go to any time I need a reminder on how to do something, or when I need to learn a new technique. It is very thorough, and very well written so it's easy to understand.

Paint Shop Pro 7 for Dummies is friendly, jovial, and takes the fright out of the jargon in this software. I liked the way David Kay starts the reader with the easy way of using each tool and then gently leads us into the wild and wonderful possihilities for each one. My only annoyance is that his mind does not move in the same order as mine does. That may be an advantage for him and for other readers. All in all, he did a great job of making beautiful but tangled software into something usable and powerful while still beautiful.

being new to paint shop pro I needed a book to get me started.This book has been a great help.Its easy to understand ,has the basics plus some things to use once you are advanced in the paint shop pro.

I looked at many of the psp 7 books and all the reviews said they were not for what I wanted the book for, mainly to fix digital camera and other photo's and maybe do some effects on them. Besides that, just to learn what psp 7 can do and how to do it. I needed some kind of book, saw a good review for this one so bought it.I am soo Happy that I did! It is great. very easy, well as much as any 'how to' book can be, to understand and with enough info that once I get better at things it still has stuff for me to learn. (many books are useless once you learn the basic's).I would recommend this for anyone that is new to dig. photo's and psp7, as well as those who have used psp for basic things but want to learn more advanced things for it. If you are looking for a book to help you learn and show you what psp7 can do, get this one!
