Paint Shop Pro 9: Photographers' Guide (Photographers' Guide)

Summary: A must have for photographers with Paint Shop Pro 9
Review: As an owner of Paint Shop Pro since v7 I admit to being too lax in my efforts to learn and apply the magic available in this extremely robust program. When I purchased a better digital camera (PSPv8) I applied only the most basic enhancements to my pictures- trying, and often succeeding, to improve where my camera (and I) fell short. When I purchased a more advanced `prosumer' camera (PSPv9) my skill sets were no match for what Paint Shop Pro 9 or my new camera could provide. That is until Diane Koers' new book, Paint Shop Pro 9: Photographers' Guide, became available.
In less than a week I have been exposed to the tips, tricks and skills that had always eluded me with other books. Her presentation style, knowledge and teaching ability are exactly what I need to take my hobby, and enjoyment of it, to the next level. And, I expect, several levels beyond that as well. Unless a person is taking and improving their photographs (either digital or scanned from film to digital) I could never understand why the average person would purchase Paint Shop Pro. Unless they are just crazy about painting with pixels which PSP9 also does a very good job of by the way. With this new book the promise of what personal photography offers can actually be realized.
Thanks to Diane Koers and her excellent book I can now use my humble, yet enthusiastic, photography skills toward getting the pictures I had always planned and hoped for. And you, like me, can do the same!
A big "Thank You" to Diane Koers.

Summary: The Best book I have found for PSP9 & Photography
Review: I a very impressed with the way the explanations are handled and the before and after pictures are excellent.
I own 9 Paint Shop pro books and this is the best one by far, an ideal book for the beginner and pro for that matter.

Summary: Terrific Book
Review: I have been looking for a good book on PSP and stumbled on Diane Koers book at the Stanford bookstore during a 50th class reunion, I was amazed at how good it was. When I upgraded to PSP 9 I immediately ordered the version 9 edition from Amazon.
