Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewIt’s remarkable how powerful Paint Shop Pro 8 really is. Leave it to Lori J. Davis to help you unleash that power. She’s taught and worked with PSP for nearly a decade. Paint Shop Pro 8 Power! brings together many of the slickest techniques she’s learned -- for print and Web.
It’s ideal for experienced users of photo/graphics editors -- PSP, Photoshop, or otherwise. Davis refreshes you on the basics, then dives into more advanced features: layers, blend modes, masks and channels; vector graphics; and especially effects. “Bonus” tricks include: creating more sophisticated B&W photos; compositing; panoramas; cracked and glassy text effects...even a little scripting.
