I found this book a great help and will continue to do so as I learn to use Paint Shop Pro X2. It is laid out very well in easy to follow chapters so you can find the help you need quickly and Diane Koers explains it very clearly step by step with good photographs showing examples. My only little gripe is that some of the pictures showing the toolbars are rather small, with Paint shop having a dark grey background they are not easy to read, it would have been a good idea to enlarge these pictures, figure 3-31 on page 49 is an example of what I mean. All the other pictures and photographs are excellent. That is my only little gripe and overall I found the book to be easy to understand, laid out in a very user friendly fashion and you get a great CD with the book as well. Well worth the money.

If you are like myself and have a passion for digital photography you will probably have one of the major software programmes for all aspects of this. If you are like myself and have such software - but have no previous experience of using such a complicated and exhaustive programme then you will find this book a gold mine of hints, tips and detailed instructions. The author assumes you have very limited knowledge and gently takes you through all the many features to be found in the software.
I heartily recommend it and would be lost without it (and my final photographs look absolutely superb and indeed professional when printed out)

...surely if you are going to bother including before and after photos you should be able to tell the difference!
As someone who is new to this software and to digital photography manipulation in general, I found this book really helpful. It's a little bit cheesy in parts, especially the foreword to each section, but the core content is good. I certainly learnt a lot from it (and continue to do so). The only real issue is the quality of the photos (which is a shame, given the purpose of the book). Most example photos are next to useless. In one section they show a whole list of thumbnails which are supposed to show the application of different masks. Unfortunately they all look exactly the same.
Notwithstanding the above, the book is a useful reference for the software.
