Summary: Excellent resource
Comment: This is by far the most definitive book that has been published to date for Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8. This is a must read for anybody wanting to get up to speed on this great graphic program.
Not only is this book very well written, but the authors are extremely well versed in their subject matter. The best $20 that I have spent in a long long time.

Summary: Purely pedestrian
Comment: Unless you are an absolute (can't stress 'absolute' enough) beginner who can't form basic connections on your own and don't care if you pick up bad habits don't bother with this book. The information provided is painfully basic making it blatantly obvious that the authors are purely pedestrian and not formally trained in design or photography, lacking the ability to do anything but touch the surface of topics discussed. The graphic examples are a joke and clearly done by someone who has no creative abilities as an artist. In my opinion these two are in no position to be authors of a book on anything to do with design, photography or creativity in the arts.
I was able to find most of the information covered (just reworded)easily on Paint Shop Pro hobby sites, in newsgroups and user forums on the Internet, and in the much more informative Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 Users Manual which comes free with the purchase of Paint Shop Pro 8. Don't waste your money on this one folks.
If you want an informative book on photography and Paint Shop Pro make sure to take a look at the books written by Dave Huss. The Do Anything With Paint Shop Pro 8 book should have been called Photography and Paint Shop Pro 8 since it covers little on painting, but it is far superior to Lacey and Beacham's book for photo editing topics. Dave Huss' other book Demystifying Digital Photography is tops, and it is obvious he (Dave) is a career photographer and not some hobbyist trying to make a fast buck at the expense of those too new to know the difference.

Summary: PSP8 from the Foundation on up
Comment: What a fabulous foundation Sally and Ron have put together regarding PSP8.. worth the $'s spent. It is my opinion that this book is a must read for anyone that is interested in PSP8 and it's potential. What I enjoyed about this book, you get a good feel of each of the newest features and a little tutorial on how to accomplish a task.
Each section offers a new quest and learning curve... I may know a lot about PSP8... but this book fills in those questionable areas... This book seemed to add that extra punch I needed to get on that next level of expertise. Well written... No CD's.. You have to buy the book and read if you want the extra's that compliment each chapter.
