Oldie but Goodie,

This review is from: Corel PhotoPaint(r) 10: The Official Guide (Paperback)
Although Corel Photo-Paint - as part of the larger Corel Draw suite - remains highly rated, the whole product has gone through two significant releases since this book was published. Sadly, Corel has minimized the documentation of the Photo-Paint component, both delivered with the product, and with the current "CorelDRAW 12 The Official Guide" available through CORELPRESS. So Dave Huss's "CorelPHOTO-PAINT 10 The Official Guide" (along with the User Guide delivered with the 9th release) are the only best references for what is still a superb product that may die for lack of market share and provider attention.

This review is from: Corel PhotoPaint(r) 10: The Official Guide (Paperback)
This is the second book on Photo-Paint by David Huss that I have purchased. Not the typical dry and turgid computer documentation, David has a sense of humor lacking in almost all other software titles I have read. Complete to a "t," David has sprinkled in humor just when you might get bored or overloaded. Now that Corel has thinned its included documentation down to almost nil, this is a great and enjoyable reference book. I won't ugrade to Photopaint 11 until David has written a book for it.

This is an excellent book, however I would like to see more illustrations of the steps to achieve your task.The book was sold as used but it was in mint condition. It arrived just about the time I was told. I'll be back for more!
