 Steve's Review March 8, 2008
Excellent book on just the topic I needed; arrived on time and in excellent shape.

Being slightly famillar with a older versiion of Paint Shop I felt I still needed the basic instructions that Dummies gives.
I was not disappointed. I am also using "Paint Shop Pro 9 Photographers Guide" and with the two I am becoming well on my way to a Pro at Paint Shop Pro
Good general purpose aide. August 30, 2005

This book is a great entry level aide to understanding the workings of Paint Shop. However, it is an all inclusive aide so anyone who is looking to use Paint Shop merely for the purposes of photo editing will not find much of use inside this help. But, it can open your eyes to what is possible with Paint Shop and get your foot in the door to anything new.
as good as Photoshop for many tasks August 7, 2005

Well Paint Shop Pro 9 is not the latest Photoshop. But Kay reveals that Paint Shop can do many of the common tasks available in Photoshop. Common image editing, like resizing images, tweaking the colour maps and so on, are just as easy in Paint Shop. As you might expect, there is a layer model of images, that lets you have overlay planes and manipulate objects in each. [You may already be familiar with the idea from Photoshop.]
A reasonable question then is why choose Paint Shop? If your graphics needs are not complex, and Paint Shop is cheaper, perhaps that's the way you should go.
And of course, as befits this series of books, the narrative is very informal, to put you at ease.
