Customer Reviews

This is a book of the author's techniques and not a how-to!
This book was not written using PSP 5.0 so some of the items do not apply. In addition, Mr.Clark is merely showing some of his personal techniques while using the program, but provides no hands-on assistance to the beginning level user. I truely believe that the author is trying to lure the reader to his own web services!

If you have a web page, BUY THIS BOOK!
I have a web page on the Internet with graphics I (illegally) stole out of other people's web pages. I got this book and loved it! You'll find out about the great features of Paint Shop Pro by using hands-on tutorials! The book is in color, so it's well worth it.

Excellent Book for Beginners
Super Book! I have to admit, at first I was disappointed. I felt that the book start above a beginner's level. Then half way through I realized, I had been drawn in and was learning not only the basics by application, but more advanced techniques as well.

Michael Clark is an excellent teacher! I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know "Where to Begin??" with graphics.
