Photo-Paint 8, the latest version of the Windows 95-based image-editing program from Corel Corp., offers many improvements, including the new Orbits and Symmetry features, enhanced masking tools, and the ability to import 3-D images, preview effects on screen, and edit low-resolution versions of your images. This official guide first takes you through the rudiments of using the package and understanding digital imaging. It then goes on to show you how to tackle intermediate and advanced tasks. You learn how to scan in and edit images; move images to and from CorelDRAW, the company's illustration package; change the size and orientation of your images; export files; and work with color palettes. Then you learn how to create, save, and manage masks; apply image-correction changes; use Photo-Paint's brushes and effects as well as the Clone and Image Sprayer tools; create fills and shapes; add text; and transform objects. Finally, you learn how to use the Blur, Noise, Sharpen, 2-D Effect, 3-D Effect, Render, Artistic, Fancy, and Color Transform filters, and how to use Photo-Paint to create images for the Web.

 Corel Photo-Paint 8 Official Guide October 28, 2002
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this book several months ago, and I find it extremely informative and exciting. Iam a seasoned CorelDraw user, but this book taught me many new ideas and concepts to enhance my graphic design capabilities. The only draw back is that when I bought the book, a CD of exercises that are required through-out the book didn't come with the book I purchased. Does any one out there know where I can purchase a CD with the exercises on it that's called out through-out the book ?
An excellent reference. October 19, 2001

I am not an experienced user of CorelDraw 8, therefore I can appreciate the information found in this Official users guide. I find it to be very informative and simple to follow. It is obvious that the author is very knowlegeable with this program and he is extremely capable of explaining the many features of this remarkable program. I am having loads of fun learning this program and one of the main reasons is this book. So much to learn.....
 Should have proofed it before publishing November 18, 1999

I'm currently working through this book, and I am finding so many mistakes in this book, it's appalling. Spelling, punctutation, incorrect menus, incorrect directions. It's becoming quite frustrating. Sure, it's written in a conversational style, but that's quite annoying sometimes. The author spends more time trying to make smart remarks about the subjects than actually explaining them.
A good book for the inexperienced user March 21, 1999

Corel Photo-Paint 8: The Official GuideThis is a pretty good book, designed primarily for inexperienced users. It's written in an informal, easy to read style. And if you go through the book and do all the examples, you will find yourself quite comfortable with the tools in Photo-Paint. It would also be useful as a general reference text. The author says he is not an artist, but I thought his creations were artistic and they are certainly effective. There are a few unfortunate slips in the hands-on examples, things that wouldn't work because of step which had been omitted or incorrect locations for menu items, but I was always able to figure out how to correct them. Like most rather complex programs, practice is the only way to become proficient. After completing the book I came to the conclusion that Photo-Paint is a wonderful program and that the book was worth the money.
A great book to use to learn a great program! January 21, 1999

This book is a progressive stepped approach to using Corel Paint 8. It has "hands on" exercises that demonstrates the correct use of the different tools and allows users to see the results as you read and learn the functions of the program. I highly recommend this to anyone desiring to improve their knowledge and competency, particularly those who have little or limited knowledge of the paint programs.
