Great Reference:
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.
Excellent documentation but . . .:
This concise and thorough documentation of the software is what is says: "Not a tutorial". Some of us need a tutorial.
Almost Perfect Order:
Paint Shop Pro 7 for Dummies is friendly, jovial, and takes the fright out of the jargon in this software. I liked the way David Kay starts the reader with the easy way of using each tool and then gently leads us into the wild and wonderful possihilities for each one. My only annoyance is that his mind does not move in the same order as mine does. That may be an advantage for him and for other readers.

Wriiten by dummies not for dummies:
I found this book exteremly hard to get into. I kept looking for a part of the book where I would find some good examples to follow to get me started. The person that wrote this book made a study of the menus and interface but I don't believe they ever made practical use of the product. They need to get someone that actually understands the software and the field of graphics to write the book. I'm sorry to say, but I think they need to go back to the drawing boards with this book. What a waste of money.
