Just bought Paint Shop Pro X - all tips appreciated

[j_lehr]

Right now I am still learning what I can do...it's all a little overwhelming. I take a lot of digital photos and would eventually like to digital scrapbook (although right now I am just learning to properly fix and resize my photos).

If anyone has any tips for a beginner, I would love to hear them!

Thanks,
Jessica

I like the software. It's got a lot of functionality. The best way to get familiar with it is to use it. Make a scratch copy of any photo before you begin and experiment. Make sure you do not save over the original. The only way to really to develop you skill with the program is to play with it.

I believe people on the photography board use this software. If you have specific questions you might want to post there.

Most things written for older versions can be adapted to the newer ones. When I first purchased PSP7, I took 2 online (free) courses, which showed me how to do all sorts of things. That may be an option for v. 10, I'm not sure?? Just don't get overwhelmed and quit. PSP is so much fun....I have v. 9 now, and absolutely love it.

There are lots of sites for beginners with tutorials that are great learning tools. In fact, I have one if you are interested. I think if you'll google psp tutorials you'll find more than you'll need. Good luck!
