Sams Teach Yourself Paint Shop Pro 5 in 24 Hours

I bought this book almost a year ago. If I had rated it then, I would have said it was worthless. I thought I needed a reference manual, so I could look up specific tasks. I bought the book because I was too busy for the program manual (also a tutorial). Now I know why good manuals for Paint Shop Pro are tutorials! You have NO IDEA of the power of this program , unless you go through these educational steps (that you don't think you need). I learned so many powerful tools and effects, when I wasn't even looking for them.I've had Paint Shop Pro (and this book) for over a year and had NO IDEA of the many powerful tools available. The tutorials taught me many things that have made web graphics a million times easier. It was well worth the couple hours of learning ... compared to endless ENDLESS hours of frustration! I wish I had just worked through the tutorials in the first place! It would have saved me so many hours of trial and error.It took me a year to finally read this book, fully. I wish I had done so a long time ago. I realize now, that it was well worth the investment of a few hours. Buy the book and REALLY work your way through it ... you will learn a lot.Take the Tutorial! Even if you think you are beyond it!

This is an amazing book that has taught me many things I never knew were possible with the software. There is even a chapter where the author shows you how to remove a person's braces from a photograph. As well, I've found the author to be extremely helpful in answering any of my questions, (even some non book-related questions) via e-mail.Highly recommended...

I want to download demo this boo

I think it's a great book to get started with graphics. It covers most of the features in PSP 5 like masks, filters and teaches on some advance graphics techniques. Great book that deserves the 5 starts.

This is a great book, I have been using psp for a while now and I thought it was a great book, a terrific buy. This book gives you ideas and tutorials that you can actually use, and refer back to for help. You cant beat it for quality and price.
