So many things to learn when getting into digital,but I do love a challenge!I have had Paint shop 7 and now I have 8.I have the Dummy book ,however i was wondering If there were any better guides?
Also I'm very serious about getting my images archived and somehow cataloged so I know where they are when I need them. I did get ACDSee7 and I've used it a little but I think I might be better off with IMatch and i'm looking for your input on which might be better.
I've had a Olympus C4000 for about a year and figured that was a good way to get my feet wet and learn and I will say its a nice little point and shoot with plenty of manual settings.I've had Pentax SLR's(MX,ZXM and ZX-5n)and I mostly use them on manual anyway.I've loved Pentax equipment but I've deceided to go with Canon after all the research I've looked at. I'm leaning towards the 20D although the new Rebel ZX is very tempting. Anyway any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There has to be a FEW people who can't afford Photoshop and are using Paint shop pro!

Hello Bsmooth-Yesterday I did see at the book store Zero to Hero ( this was a psp8 ref. book ) I thumbed throught it and found it easy to follow. There are also Sam guides to just about every PSP version.
Have you ever browsed the PaintShop User Groups online ? Some of them might have suggestions.
In the mean time here is a link to some PSP user tutorials should you not already have discovered it yourself .

When I do have to digital edit I use PaintShop as well as PS at times. I like PSP also.

Bsmooth, I have used PSP for about 5 years. It is very widely used and just about any question has an answer on the web and can be found by a google search. My personal use was greatly improved by using adjustment layers, particularly using a levels adustment layer process described in this link:http://www.photoblink.com/info.asp?article=articles/PrecLevels.xml. Hope this helps.
