Dobilove, I love Paintshop Pro. My husband is a whiz at it and he shows me some new things and then I go nuts. He said he invented a monster <----me. LOL But I have never used it to make sig pics so I wanted to try my hand at it. There are sooo many things you can do with it. But animation shop is my fav. They work hand in hand even though they are two separate parts of the program and they come together on the disk. I love to make animations or as I usually do, I will save an animation and change it, that is fun.
The best way to learn is to just open it up and start playing. That is how Mark learned and I have learned a lot on my own with both programs but he has shown me some shortcuts and cool tricks.
