PaintShop Pro is one of the original graphics editors

Anyone who does graphics

There is so much to this. The manual is a pretty good size book and is certainly one to be read over and over again to understand the system. I'm not saying this in a bad way up till the time I bought PSP 8 I was using online f-keys and Gifworks to make graphics. PSP isn't just for graphics of course. It works with photos as well. Since this was my first true graphics program I felt I had to read before I could understand. It is easy to experiment with and do some practice stuff to get the feel for it. There are some masks, tubes, and filters included. New ones are easy to add by looking online and downloading.
