These lessons require the knowledge and understanding of the basic functions of PSP 5/6. Notice how I have no tutorials on How To Start Up PSP 5/6, How To Save A File, How To Draw A Circle or How To Create A Line. If you would like to acquire the knowledge of these things please read the manual that comes with PSP 5/6 or go to JASC's web site for support. Experimentation is the most effective tutorial of all.

PRE-REQUISITES:

1) A evaluation copy or purchsed copy of Paint Shop Pro 5.0 or higher By: Jasc Software.  This can be obtained at  Amazon.com. (Click image for ordering Information) 2) A basic knowledge of the interface and work area of PSP. 3)  The ability to open a file & created a new image in PSP.

These lessons will run continuously.  You will be able to join at any time.  A list of lessons & challenges will be posted. You may choose any lesson you wish.  You are asked to complete that challenge using the technique learned in that lesson.  After completing 5 challenges  you will receive a graphic for you web page.

You will need a Yahoo! ID if you don't have one.  I started a club for posting your challenges:  http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/pspchallenge?as  You will need an invite to join this club.  Sign up for the workshop and challenges now!  I will create an album for you and e-mail you an invite to this club and the URL of the challenges..
