I used to use Adobe Photoshop for work in our business, but I 'discovered' PSP about 6 years ago and haven't even loaded any Adobe things (PS or CS3) on this computer.
I have them but PSP is a much more 'user friendly' program so I stick with it.
I also have a forum where I have been teaching it to beginners for nearly 5 years now so if you are going to purchase a program I'd say go for PSP . It is a lot cheaper than CS3 too.

I use PSPX2 but apart from a slight change in the tool icons each PSP is pretty much the same from PSP8 right up to the current PSPX2.

If you are looking to buy a copy from ebay.....be very careful. A lot that are sold there are genuine but there are people who put up pirated copies occassionally. Look at their feedback and if they have sold a few copies then be wary!!!

Hi Angela
Really struggling, I have bought Corel PSP Photox2. I have watched tutorials on CUP and they look good. I dont have graphics design experience but i am enthusiastic to learn. I can re-size crop etc but cannot manage to have a worksheet on screen and bring image up at same time to be able to paste across to make a topper/decoupage sheet.
I dont know if i am making sense - Help if you can please!!

Thanks

Debbie

Hi Sue
I have looked at tutorials. They all start with worksheet up and tell you to upload image but as soon as you do you cant get anything else on page. I need a 1 2 3. I am familiar with tools and what they do but just cant fathom how to get more than one image onto 1 sheet at same time!!

Totally frustrated now

Thanks for any help you can offer

Debbie
