As a beginner all around, I decided to try the software I could afford and wondered if anyone knows of tutorials/videos for its use. Thank you ahead of time for any help

YouTube is a great place to start - I use paint shop pro and find this a great learning spot - also with the software you may have had a separate disc with some tutorials on and in the help tab links also are great with access to online help

Cheers

The book - "Picture Yourself learning Corel PaintShop Pro X4 worked for me. It is a continual learning process and I am always discovering new tricks to improve my images.

PaintShopPro (PSP) X4 is a great program. I have used PSP for years and I like it a lot. I am currently using X5 Ultimate. Start out simple with adjustments and play around a little to see what some other things do. Then just keep adding more as you think you need them. I find the help files very helpful. I have not used the book mentioned above but it looks like a big help. You can find it here.

PaintShop Pro X4 is discontinued and PaintShop Pro X5 replaced it some time ago. The Ultimate X5 package is about $79 and comes with a complete multi-hundred-page operation manual as a PDF Acrobat file, a ton of support information and help menus, user boards to contact others for weird questions or problems, and video tutorials at Corel - as well as whatever you can find on Google.

PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate is a very good choice, by the way.

I started out with PaintShop Pro...years ago and have progressed to the X5. I found the X5 to mimic a lot of Photoshop but on a much easier learning curve. I do not think you will be disappointed. One good way to learn is to duplicate a couple photos and then working on the duplicate (not the original) play around with all the settings and what what happens to your photo. Each time you open a setting make sure you check the box at the top right that says Preview on Image then you will see instantly what is happening as you move sliders etc. Its a fun way to learn what each one does. just always remember DON'T WORK ON THE ORIGINAL...Good luck and hope to see some of your work soon....
