Paint Shop Pro Books


1.		Picture Yourself Learning Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 from Course Technology PTR Price: $19.79 Customer Review: but not much explanations. The self explanatory stuff is mentioned and pictured. The hard to explain and also hard to understand processes are dealt with in a few sentences. In one instance, the author refers to the Magnetic Lasso Tool as her favored - the software has no tool by that name. If... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 for Photographers from Focal Press Price: $19.77 Customer Review: I have been into digital photography for the past couple of years and have been using both PSP Photo X2 and Photoshop Elements 5. Through experimentation, I had figured out how to brighten, sharpen, soften, clone, straighten, crop, etc. I had tried using masks and layers but failed miserably. I was... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Photo Restoration and Retouching Using Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo from Course Technology PTR Price: $26.39 Customer Review: Pros-finally a book for PSP! Full color! Tons of screen shots! Easy to read. Cons-The author states that this book does not teach PSP, which is true. But I assumed that meant it would still teach the restoration and retouching tools PSP offers, but it does not. This is my big issue with it. For... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Paint Shop Pro 8 for Dummies from For Dummies Price: $14.95 Customer Review: Very disappointing.I ordered this thinking I would be able to understand PSP. I am member of several tagging sites and wanted to learn to make them myself. I guess I'll have to look for a book now called PSP for retards. This book didn't help me. I guess my next move will be classes at the senior... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Paint Shop Pro 7 for Dummies from For Dummies Price: $14.95 Customer Review: This is THE book I go to any time I need a reminder on how to do something, or when I need to learn a new technique. It is very thorough, and very well written so it's easy to understand.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Paint Shop Pro 8 Fast & Easy from Course Technology PTR Customer Review: A very nicely written book working with this subject. Just open the book and follow along. You will soon be doing some amazing things with this great software. I am very happy with the software, and this book for showing me how to use the program. I knew absolutely nothing about working with this... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Paint Shop Pro 9 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) from For Dummies Price: $16.49 Customer Review: Excellent book on just the topic I needed; arrived on time and in excellent shape.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Paint Shop Pro 8 Solutions from Course Technology PTR Price: $24.99 Customer Review: In the first chapter, the book defines the audience as beginning-intermediate. If you've used Paint Shop Pro 8 before, it may be too basic for you. I'm an intermediate user, but I still found shortcuts, tips, and workarounds in this book I didn't know about, so it was worth having.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Paint Shop Pro 8 in a Snap (Sams Teach Yourself) from Sams Price: $29.99 Customer Review: The book covers many of PSP's photo editing options, but is rather uninspiring in it's examples: too many family pictures and not enough color examples.

10.		Paint Shop Pro XI for Photographers from Focal Press Price: $21.09 Customer Review: Having owned several versions of Paint Shop Pro and having owned several how-to books (at least 1 for each version going back to PSP 4), this book is a huge disappointment. Since my heavy usage of PSP is sporadic, I rely heavily on good documentation. Since PSP has always lacked in this area, I look... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Corel Paint Shop Pro X Revealed from Course Technology PTR Price: $22.49 Customer Review: This is really a great book. The exercises are very detailed and set out in a true "learning order." Based on these exercies the "doing order" is then quite obvious. What would have made this book even better would have been full color. When Paint Shop Pro has a new version I sure hope Sonja... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Paint Shop Pro X for Photographers from Focal Press Price: $24.08 Customer Review: Really helpful! I am a beta tester for Corel and thought I "knew it all". Well, the book pointed out strengths that I had not been aware of. The scratch remover is great for removing blemishes and the "tooth whitener" is better than any dentist!

13.		How To Do Everything with Paint Shop Pro 8 from McGraw-Hill Osborne Media Customer Review: This book was everything I hoped it was. It explained a lot of things about PSP that I didn't know. I mean that it help in all of the different versions of PSP. I was very pleased and I am still learning from it.	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Paint Shop Pro 8 Power! (Power) from Course Technology PTR Price: $29.99 Customer Review: I bought this book because it was touted for intermediate users and it is that. It assumes you understand some basic terms and functions and takes you a step further. I've worked my way through the first 5 chapters and have learned some things along the way. However, one annoying thing is that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Paint Shop Pro 6 Power! from Muska & Lipman/Premier-Trade Customer Review: Very thorough, easy to understand instructions and explanations. However, I've heard the claim that Paint Shop Pro is an "easier" substitute for Photoshop. This claim is ridiculous. Paint Shop Pro is an excellent program, probably the best in its class. But it's not in the same class as... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

17.		Paint Shop Pro 8: The Guide to Creating Professional Images from Focal Press Price: $30.95 Customer Review: I purchased this book because it seemed to have a lot more info than any of the other books available on PSP 8. I rated it 3 stars because it's a lovely book with lots of colour illos, but the thing is, if you're a beginner, you have no idea to find what the author is talking about.

18.		Paint Shop Pro 5 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) from Peachpit Press Customer Review: Well written for what it is. If you're trying to understand graphics concepts - buy another book. It tells you what commands/buttons to click on without explaining why. Severly lacking in discussion of subjects. More like a 300 page cheat sheet!

19.		Corel Paint Shop Pro X Digital Darkroom from Sams Price: $29.99 Customer Review: I opened the book and never put it down. Excellent, I felt I was in a class-room.
