I do these tutorials for fun and
not
for any profit. I use them also as a
learning tool to
help others learn the fun and art of
paint shop pro.
All things I use are collected, the
only thing I claim
Is the tags I make with these as my
work.
Feel free to share my tutorials, but
link them back
to my site
