Highly Recommended for Novices & Intermediate Users

I have been looking for a book that would tell me exactly what each tool would do for PSP 9, and this is the ONLY one I could find. Thank goodness it is good! It covers photographs, which is what I deal with creating graphics. And it appears to apply to the new version of Paint Shop Pro that Corel just published. Good investment!

Need additional book for rank beginner...

Koers book is outstanding -- but as a novice digital photographer and fledgling digital image editor, I needed something else to supplement Koers' book. The winning combination for me was to first read David Kay's "Paint Shop Pro 9 for Dummies" and THEN leap into Koers' book. Between the two books, I am doing things in my "digital darkroom" that I never thought I would be capable of.

The Best book I have found for PSP9 & Photography

I a very impressed with the way the explanations are handled and the before and after pictures are excellent. I own 9 Paint Shop pro books and this is the best one by far, an ideal book for the beginner and pro for that matter. Jim Gordon

A must have for photographers with Paint Shop Pro 9

As an owner of Paint Shop Pro since v7 I admit to being too lax in my efforts to learn and apply the magic available in this extremely robust program. When I purchased a better digital camera (PSPv8) I applied only the most basic enhancements to my pictures- trying, and often succeeding, to improve where my camera (and I) fell short. When I purchased a more advanced `prosumer' camera (PSPv9) my skill sets were no match for what Paint Shop Pro 9 or my new camera could provide. That is until Diane Koers' new book, Paint Shop Pro 9: Photographers' Guide, became available. In less than a week I have been exposed to the tips, tricks and skills that had always eluded me with other books. Her presentation style, knowledge and teaching ability are exactly what I need to take my hobby, and enjoyment of it, to the next level. And, I expect, several levels beyond that as well. Unless a person is taking and improving their photographs (either digital or scanned from film to digital) I could never understand why the average person would purchase Paint Shop Pro. Unless they are just crazy about painting with pixels which PSP9 also does a very good job of by the way. With this new book the promise of what personal photography offers can actually be realized. Thanks to Diane Koers and her excellent book I can now use my humble, yet enthusiastic, photography skills toward getting the pictures I had always planned and hoped for. And you, like me, can do the same! A big "Thank You" to Diane Koers.
