Hey,

I just got Paintshop Pro 7 along w/ the animation station thing. I really have no idea what any of it does or is. Is there any sites that explain the use and purpose of this product along w/ how to use it. I'm on one site but it seems too advanced for what I'm looking for. I got the program from a friend so it's not equipt w/ directions and w/e. Thanks for the help!

Paint Shop Pro is a fairly advanced and quite a good graphics editing software. You can use it to make all sorts of graphics. It is very much in the style of Adobe Phtoshop and many of PSP's tools are very similar. Check out some of these PSP tutorials - they are just three random results of a google search on 'paint shop pro tutorial'. They should be able to help you through. Animation shop is a tool for making animated gifs (images which change one by one to make an animation). A similar search on google will probably find you tutorials.

um, you should probably visit www.jasc.com for more basic info

PSP is the graphic/image editing part, while AS is the animation part (wow...who would have guessed? ;) ) I learned the most in PSP by just making an image and fiddling with the effects and such, and I learned a LOT that way. Otherwise, if you see an image that you like the effect of, email the owner and ask if they followed a tutorial for it, or else ask around here; someone is sure to know. PSP is my sole graphics program, so if you need any help, feel free to PM me :)
