this book is exactly what the author says it is. it shows how to "fix"print and digital pictures using paint shop pro. it is not a tutorial for
the program. it shows how to do this by using very good color and black and white pictures in a number of studies. the examples are long enough so that you understand the principles but not so long that you lose interest in what you are trying to accomplish.
