Book Reviews of Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 for Photographers
Book Review: Just What I Needed
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a JASC PaintShopPro fan since almost the beginning. I started with PSP4 and graduated to PSP8 where I stalled out when versions 9, 10 and 11 came out too quickly for me to absorb (even though I upgraded to all new versions) -- plus at the time I was very happy with PSP8 for my particular applications. However, I really wanted to get into more sophisticated techniques like advanced selection techniques, use of histograms, advanced layers & masks, etc. Ken McMahon's PSP Photo X2 For Photographers was just what I needed to get me up to speed on the latest version of PSP, plus sharpen my skills in the previously mentioned techniques. Note that this book is rated Intermediate, so it is not for those who are new to basic photo editing techniques. The book is clear, well organized, has lots of good illustrations, and with easy to use index and tabs. It is a pleasure to read and use.
