Summary: Good book for beginner
Review: Found the book to be very helpful to the beginner. But a major mistake not having the graphics/images in color. Wouldn't have ordered if I had known.

Summary: Don't Think You Are Too Busy for Tutorials!
Review: I bought this book almost a year ago. If I had rated it then, I would have said it was worthless. I thought I needed a reference manual, so I could look up specific tasks. I bought the book because I was too busy for the program manual (also a tutorial). Now I know why good manuals for Paint Shop Pro are tutorials! You have NO IDEA of the power of this program , unless you go through these educational steps (that you don't think you need). I learned so many powerful tools and effects, when I wasn't even looking for them. I've had Paint Shop Pro (and this book) for over a year and had NO IDEA of the many powerful tools available. The tutorials taught me many things that have made web graphics a million times easier. It was well worth the couple hours of learning ... compared to endless ENDLESS hours of frustration! I wish I had just worked through the tutorials in the first place! It would have saved me so many hours of trial and error. It took me a year to finally read this book, fully. I wish I had done so a long time ago. I realize now, that it was well worth the investment of a few hours. Buy the book and REALLY work your way through it ... you will learn a lot. Take the Tutorial! Even if you think you are beyond it!

Summary: Very Good Book.
Review: I found this book to be very helpful. If you are new to Paint Shop Pro, this is the book to start out with. Mr. Clark's assumes no prior knowledge of this paint program so he takes you through each step clearly. I understood every point he was trying to get across and I had no problems. If you take the time to do the excercises the way he instructs then you will be on your way to Paint Shop Pro success.

Summary: Great introduction to PSP...
Review: I found this book very good in unlocking many of the features of, and helping me realize some of PSP's potential. Never having had a course or read a tutorial on a graphical program like this, I wasn't aware of how much was "hidden" in such programs. I really felt after reading this book that I could make much more use of the program. And also found many more ways of using my (ah.. hum) creativity when exploring the program on my own, finding new ways to manipulate the pictures I have made. I can definitely recommend it, especially to people new to learning PSP. Or who has not yet read any books on PSP. The only minus is the black and white pictures illustrating the sections on color adjusting.

Summary: Great Book for starters
Review: I think it's a great book to get started with graphics. It covers most of the features in PSP 5 like masks, filters and teaches on some advance graphics techniques. Great book that deserves the 5 starts.

Summary: Great starting point for new PSP v5 users
Review: I've only recently begun exploring the possibilites of Paint Shop Pro v5, and found that I need a quality reference book to compliment the program. "Sams' Teach Yourself Paint Shop Pro in 24 Hours" is just want I needed, as it covers all the major features of the program. This book should appeal to all users who may find them selves slightly confused by all the features of Paint Shop Pro v5. T. Michael Clark does a fine job walking you through all of the many "how to" examples. If you are a new user to Paint Shop Pro, I would definately encourage you to pick up this book!
