<br />
Thinking of joining the Beginners Workshop to get reintroduced to all the things I can do with the program.<br />
<br />
I'm also trying out Paintshop Pro X3, I like how you can edit photoes with it, but currently getting aggraveted when I try to make graphics with it.Stormmoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16171869212210831030noreply@blogger.com0
