 Good but not as good if you expect advanced staff, and not so advanced
It is very basic. I think many people may figure out what to do with their paint pro with included manual. Author should have instructed more on layering and masking with more complicated pictures. I would advice anyone who bought this book also buy Ken McMahon book on a subject. Oh, how much money we as a customer spend on those self-help books. And the thing is we find only one or two brilliant ideas in them. So, buy all books on subject.
I learned a lot and I already thought I knew a lot.
I got this and Ken McMahon's (and Robin Nichols) book at the same time. I initially thought I was going to like the other book more, but this one became ever-so-slightly the preferred of the two. It's not perfect and I still struggle with layers/masks sometimes, but there are a lot of good tips and tools in this book. I certainly felt like I learned some things, and I considered myself well above average, not quite a power-user, but close before reading it.
A general overview
I really do not understand all the 5 star rating for this book. It is not bad, but it is much more of an overview then a detailed explanation of improving photos with PSP. I guess the title (and the reviews) had me expecting more from this book, but every topic is just generaly covered with not near enough real world improve your photos informaton. It is basically a glorified user-manual and the photograpger's guide in the title is very misleading, im my opinion. I would not recommend this book unless you do not already understand the basics of PSP and how to use the interface. Don't expect many tips if you are a real working photographer.
Great Book
Being slighty familar with an older version of Paint Shop I still order Dummies and Paint Shop Pro 9 Photographers Guide.
I was not disappointed. Dummies gets you started but the real meat of Paint Shop Pro is in the Photographers Guide. It is one thing to be able to figure out how to do something, but there a so many things in Paint Shop Pro 9 that most people don't even know that they are there. This book will show you them and how to use them. A lot of nice ideas also. If you fully want to use PSP buy this book
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!
