Learning to use Paint Shop Pro is easy - you just need the right basic lessons, then apply some of your wonderful imagination and finally just enjoy using the great program. We have several hundred tutorials which are listed in various ways for your ease of navigation - to help you find just the right tutorial to suit.

Note regarding PSP X through PSPP XII (version 12):
As for now, our tutorials are written through version 9. However, our tutorials are able to be done in all current versions. So, please look at our tutorials for PSP 8 and later, and for PSP 9 and later – these tutorials more and more often include instructions for recent versions as well. If you're a beginner to PSP, you can also use the Beginners' Class Tutorials for PSP 8, and the tutorials written for beginners on the PSP 8 and PSP 9 pages since the versions are all very much alike. Apart from that, you can get information and help on Current Versions in our forums.

If you have any queries about any of our tutorials, please contact the Tutorials Coordinator by email. Also, don't hesitate to ask your questions in our forums where there are many talented members providing great help and information. When asking your questions, please don't forget to state which PSP version you're using.

To download a trial version of the current Paint Shop Pro XI, go to the Corel site.

Beginners' Classes

This page lists some great tutorials for beginners. These tutorials were created for our Learning Center's Self Learning Program, and used in conjunction with the lessons taught. You'll find tutorials for PSP 5/6/7 and for PSP 8 which can also be used for PSP 9 and later versions as well.

PSP Basic Usage

This page lists some great tutorials for beginners, and also provides reminders on using various PSP tools for the experienced user. This page lists tutorials written for PSP Version 7 separately from those written for PSP Versions 5 and 6. These basic tutorials should also be a great resource if you use later PSP versions.

Tutorials for PSP 9 and later

This page lists our tutorials using new features of Paint Shop Pro 9 not available in earlier versions, as the Art Media feature. There's also a growing collection of tutorials on the PSP Tools which can also be used for PSP 8 (and which are great for beginners to PSP). All tutorials on this page can be used for PSP X and later versions as well.

Tutorials for PSP 8 and later

This page provides a list of our tutorials written for Paint Shop Pro 8. These tutorials can also be used for Paint Shop Pro 9 and later and actually more and more often include instructions for these later versions as well. There are also tutorials here that have been written with the beginner in mind.

Tutorials for PSP 7

This page holds the major listing of our tutorials which have been written for Paint Shop Pro 7, using various PSP effects and techniques. Of course, these tutorials can also be done with later versions of PSP as well.

Prof's PSP 7 Effects Tutorials

On this page you can find our Prof's tutorials on using the Effects features of PSP 7 which provide both the new and experienced user how to create unique images with several of the Effects available.

Tutorials for PSP 5 and 6

Photographic Enhancements

We have several tutorials which are especially designed for enhancing photos and for presenting them, for example in collages or special frames. These tutorials can be found on this page. Although these tutorials do not describe any of the later additions to PSPP (version 12) one can easily find help with the SLP programs for the year 2008.

Plug-ins and Filters Tutorials

We have several tutorials which use some of the commercial as well as shareware and freeware plug-ins that are available to use with Paint Shop Pro. These tutorials can be found on this page.

Web Applications Tutorials

This page lists various tutorials covering the usage of web applications – including tutorials on writing HTML, using WS-FTP LE (for transferring files from your computer to the web), a little bit of javascript (including the mouse-over effect), lake applets and more.

Tutorials by Keywords

These pages list our tutorials indexed by keywords for your convenience. You can look for various objects you wish to create (such as "Bird House"), for occasions (such as "Christmas") as well as for PSP tools, effects etc. There aren't all our tutorials added to these keyword lists yet, but those for the latest PSP versions 8, 9 and X can be found here, and I'm working on adding the PSP 7 tutorials and earlier versions.

Links to Other Tutorial Sites

Many PSPUG members write their own tutorials – these are all extremely helpful when trying to create a special effect in your image while using Paint Shop Pro. This page provides links to various members' tutorial sites.

Special Note – if YOU have written some PSP tutorials, why not share them with us. Go to the Links page to find out how.
