Amazon.com Review
Sams Teach Yourself Paint Shop Pro 5 in 24 Hours provides a quick and easy way to learn the Web-savvy image editor from Jasc, Inc. There are 24 one-hour lessons, ranging from basic navigational issues to Web output. You start off by learning the program's tools, preferences, and menus and by opening, saving, and printing files. Getting down to real work, you learn how to create and edit images by working with selections, deformations, drawing tools, painting tools, color, and text effects. By the 11th hour, you're ready to use layers, masks, channels, picture tubes, and filters to help you work more efficiently. The more advanced tasks, which begin in lesson 16, teach you to apply special effects, retouch your images, correct color, and create composite images. Finally, you prepare your graphics for the Web and create buttons, tiles, and animations. An appendix lists Web resources for learning more about Paint Shop Pro and other graphics programs. --Kathleen Caster

Don't Think You Are Too Busy for Tutorials!,
By Michelle Mc (So California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Paint Shop Pro 5 in 24 Hours (Teach Yourself in 24 Hours Series) (Paperback)
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!

Great introduction to PSP...,
By Peter Gregefalk (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Paint Shop Pro 5 in 24 Hours (Teach Yourself in 24 Hours Series) (Paperback)
I found this book very good in unlocking many of the features of, and helping me realize some of PSP's potential. Never having had a course or read a tutorial on a graphical program like this, I wasn't aware of how much was "hidden" in such programs. I really felt after reading this book that I could make much more use of the program. And also found many more ways of using my (ah.. hum) creativity when exploring the program on my own, finding new ways to manipulate the pictures I have made. I can definitely recommend it, especially to people new to learning PSP. Or who has not yet read any books on PSP. The only minus is the black and white pictures illustrating the sections on color adjusting.

Every beginner/intermediate PSP user should read this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Paint Shop Pro 5 in 24 Hours (Teach Yourself in 24 Hours Series) (Paperback)
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...
