This review is from: Paint Shop Pro Photo XI for Photographers (Paperback)
This book has been a great help in explaining some of the things that can be done with the software. I never found anything from Corel to be this useful. I use this book to look up certain things as I need to, but I hope to some day find the time to go through it more carefully to enhance my understanding. Because I don't have a lot of time to spend just playing around with Paint Shop Pro, this book has been great in guiding me through an application. I'd recommend this to anyone who is interested in Paint Shop Pro.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paint Shop Pro Photo XI, March 6, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Paint Shop Pro Photo XI for Photographers (Paperback)
If you're a beginner to intermediate user of Paint Shop Pro Photo for Digital Photo correction and manipulation then this is the book for you.

The book is in color with pictures and screen shots. It's easy to follow along using Paint Shop Pro and the very same pictures in the book can be downloaded for the follow through.

Ken McMahon writes clearly and precisely without being a bore. The book covers everything from the one click fixes, workspace, selections, channels, sharpening, color correction, resizing and more.

I'm an intermediate user and I learned from every chapter I read.

The only thing I'd like to have seen in the book was a mention of the older tools hidden under VIEW >CUSTOMIZE>>TOOLS. There are some very useful and easy to use tools there that IMO should be placed on the Photo Palette.

Now if Ken would write an advanced book of photo manipulation using PSP so I don't have to convert Photoshop tutorials I'd be one happy camper.

Buy this book you won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Print Shop Pro Photo XI, May 26, 2007
This review is from: Paint Shop Pro Photo XI for Photographers (Paperback)
This book is very helpful to the person just starting to use PSPP XI. It is good for the novice to intermediate user. Some of the more advanced topics are not in this volume, but considering the information that comes with the program itself this is a great help.
