Product Description
Product Description
Aimed at readers who are new to Paint Shop Pro, "Paint Shop Pro X Revealed" teaches beginners how to edit their photos, paint digitally, and/or create graphics. Paint Shop Pro is one of the most popular image editing packages in the world, due in part to its combination of low price and powerful images. The book maps to the latest version of the Paint Shop Pro software which includes more arts media tools and more elements that will work with other Corel Products. Written in the proven Revealed pedagogy, the book first walks the reader through all of the basics of the software before breaking down into Paint Shop Pro's tools and techniques. Data files are included with the book so that the reader can follow along and solidify the skills learned.

Cynda Parks- No longer struggling to use Paint Shop Pro,
By A Customer
This review is from: Corel Paint Shop Pro X Revealed (Paperback)
Great book for beginners-without a doubt! It was nice to have files included with the book to work along side of it. The pictures used in the book were awesome and funny! For me, that made it a lot easier to learn, otherwise I was just about to the point of tossing the program out the window!It is definately for the beginner though, once you start getting heavy into photo editing you will need to purchase something else.

1.0 out of 5 stars
poorly written,
By A. Michalski - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Corel Paint Shop Pro X Revealed (Paperback)
PSP X Revealed is a poorly written book with black and white images of screen shots. Trying to associate a black and white screen shot with a color image on the computer screen is daunting at best and eye straining at worst. The section on learning layers is written as though someone already has the knowledge of all the tools and their uses and is now going to go thru a refresher course. The author seems to try to communicate her knowledge without explaining what the various functions do along the way assuming that the reader is well versed in PSP functions and knowledge. For someone who has just installed PSP X and is wondering how to put it to use...save your money, this will just frustrate you more than you already are.

Tammy Pelphry,
By TamTam "TamTam" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Corel Paint Shop Pro X Revealed (Paperback)
I have to disagree with the other reader about it not being well written. The instructions were easy to understand and was a tremendous help for this newbie! I have never used any kind of graphics program before at all. This book was perfect for me to get my feet wet.However, I do agree with him about the black and white issue. Computers and computers graphics are all about color and a black and white book for a piece of software like this is just down right silly! I would love to see another book with the writers style (and sense of humor) but IN COLOR, now that my feet are wet in a manner of speaking. When might we be seeing one?

It was OK,

This review is from: Corel Paint Shop Pro X Revealed (Paperback)
I was hoping for something that would show me more about dealing with photo enhancements rather than making graphic images. I did learn some things that helped me; but I will keep looking for a better PSPX book. The "how to" instructions were quite good for the examples; but I was hoping for more.
