Paint Shop Pro 5 for Windows: Visual Quickstart Guide

Rating:
Summary: Not for beginner, not a reference book.
Review: I found this book very confusing. It is the worst book I have ever had. I don't know for whom this book was written, who would find it useful? I can give just one star for this book, because at least it has text and pictures. Don't spend your money, you will find user's guide for this program more useful and for free.

Summary: Great Desktop Reference
Review: If you are tired of lamer beginner books and have no time for the $60 master in-depth reference books then this title is for you. In plain terms and with plenty of photos and examples, it guides you through PSP 5.0's features one by one. Recommended highly, well worth the money.

Review: If you're an experienced Paint Shop Pro user, this might be a good reference book. But as a novice, I found the book to be confusing, just a collection of Paint Shop Pro facts and procedures. It would have been nice to have some examples, where an image is edited from start to finish, step by step. Also, I couldn't help but notice that the authors did not give an address or email address where they could be contacted with questions, comments, errors in the book, etc. I have put this book back on the shelf and I'm using the manual that came with Paint Shop Pro.

Summary: Good Cheat Sheet
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!
