My name is Alfred and I will be hanging around here and hope to see many people join me!
Hi Alfred,
I'd really like to see some activity in the Photo-Paint forum. I'm a total newbie but managed to import a pic and that's as far as I've got. I don't even know what questions to ask. I'm looking for a fair reference book but everything I see is for Photo-shop, Hopefully I'll get a copy of Corel Photo Paint 10, the Official Guide by David Huss from my library on Wednesday. This is the only book I can find and I wanted to buy a copy but they're scarce as hens teeth. Do you know if it's going to be reprinted? What else is there? I find the User Guide absolutely useless because it only tells you what can be done, but not how to do it. Not being a geek doesn't help either.

Hi Richard in Burnaby BC,I have that specific book by Dave Huss, its okey. But it doesnt cover everything sadly. And its really sad that no other book about Photo-Paint seems to be around in the shops. But to help out and give you some tips, start by just shooting from the hip with a question. And I while doing that, visit Foster D. Coburns website www.unleash.com , that one have helped me a couple of times. Photo-Paint can do a lot of things. ONE of the many things I use it for is to plainly draw and make illustrations with it. Incorporating external objects when douing a collage.
So please give us a question! We are some Photo-Paint users around here that are just waiting to get questions.
Let's see now....
nope...can't post an arrachment from here..Going to try from OE.
Still can't post an attachment via OE either. I get the following message:

Foster and Nathan both have published material available (in digital). There are quite a few web sites with "How to" tips for PhotoPAINT. The processes described in PS can be duplicated in PP as well. The biggest problem is in the vocabularity used by each (PS says "Layers" and PP says "Objects" etc).
ALFRED, do you remember who / when the post in the PP NG where someone had made a list of the (vocabulary) differences between Photoshop and PhotoPAINT ?
