(Disclaimer) - Last tutorial added: April 7, 2006

Paint Shop Pro has been my favourite tool to create web and print graphics for many years. The following tutorials are written for PSP6, 7 and 8. While versions 6 and 7 were very similar in navigation, version 8 has had a few changes so the tutorials for PSP8 are marked accordingly. Still, all older tutorials should work for the newest version, as well.

Newest addition: the Glass Effect.

Have fun, and if you want to contact me please send me an e-mail.
I started a new branch: Photo Finish - it's a set of tutorials or how-to's on photographic tricks and probs.
