5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for photographers with Paint Shop Pro 9, December 16, 2004
By Gary V. French (Louisville, Ky area) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As an owner of Paint Shop Pro since v7 I admit to being too lax in my efforts to learn and apply the magic available in this extremely robust program. When I purchased a better digital camera (PSPv8) I applied only the most basic enhancements to my pictures- trying, and often succeeding, to improve where my camera (and I) fell short. When I purchased a more advanced `prosumer' camera (PSPv9) my skill sets were no match for what Paint Shop Pro 9 or my new camera could provide. That is until Diane Koers' new book, Paint Shop Pro 9: Photographers' Guide, became available.
In less than a week I have been exposed to the tips, tricks and skills that had always eluded me with other books. Her presentation style, knowledge and teaching ability are exactly what I need to take my hobby, and enjoyment of it, to the next level. And, I expect, several levels beyond that as well. Unless a person is taking and improving their photographs (either digital or scanned from film to digital) I could never understand why the average person would purchase Paint Shop Pro. Unless they are just crazy about painting with pixels which PSP9 also does a very good job of by the way. With this new book the promise of what personal photography offers can actually be realized.
Thanks to Diane Koers and her excellent book I can now use my humble, yet enthusiastic, photography skills toward getting the pictures I had always planned and hoped for. And you, like me, can do the same!
A big "Thank You" to Diane Koers.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best book I have found for PSP9 & Photography, January 3, 2005
By James B. Gordon (Campbell River B.C. Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I a very impressed with the way the explanations are handled and the before and after pictures are excellent.
I own 9 Paint Shop pro books and this is the best one by far, an ideal book for the beginner and pro for that matter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Need additional book for rank beginner..., July 14, 2005
By J. B. Quattlebaum (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Koers book is outstanding -- but as a novice digital photographer and fledgling digital image editor, I needed something else to supplement Koers' book. The winning combination for me was to first read David Kay's "Paint Shop Pro 9 for Dummies" and THEN leap into Koers' book. Between the two books, I am doing things in my "digital darkroom" that I never thought I would be capable of.

I really do not understand all the 5 star rating for this book. It is not bad, but it is much more of an overview then a detailed explanation of improving photos with PSP. Read more
