Amazon. com Review

For a few years now, Jasc Software’s Paint Shop Pro has been a popular and affordable image editor and paint program for producing Web graphics. Whether or not you joined the bandwagon early on, you’ll be able to learn lots from this full-color guide. It illuminates the basic and advanced aspects of working within the updated program, Paint Shop Pro 5, to create excellent Web images–from logos and icons to photos and background graphics. Author Andy Shafran first takes you through the basics of using the package to create and edit simple graphics and photos. He also teaches you about GIF, JPEG, and other Web file formats and explains the basics of using HTML tags to add images to your pages. Next you apply special effects and work with Picture Tubes (a tool for painting with graphics instead of paint), layers, and black-and-white images. Shafran offers advice on using scanners and digital cameras to bring images into your computer and helps you retouch and correct those images. He also explains how to create transparent GIFs, GIF animations, image maps, and backgrounds and teaches you how to keep your images small. The last two chapters focus on using extra HTML tags to control the appearance of your images and on learning additional Paint Shop Pro tips for creating gradients, textures, drop shadows, clip art, and 3-D effects. One appendix directs you to Web sites that offer graphics and development guidance. Another supplies a reference list to Paint Shop Pro’s toolbar and palette options. –Kathleen Caster

    Dispite a couple bad rewiews, I purchased the book anyway. My mistake! This book is for people wanting to make cute little home pages with pics of their kitty, just like the author. It shows how to crop and paint a little but not much more than that. I learned as much just tinkering with the PSP prog as I did from the book. He promotes his website like it is some type of dynamic creation. It in fact is a lousy little site with pics of his kitty. The author uses it merely to try to sell more books. Unbelievable! Don’t be another sucker and buy this pittiful excuse for a manual. (The PSP manual is almost as good. ) Purchase something with some guts to it!
