The thing I like about PSP is its very straight forward and easy to use with a little work You'll be great with it in no time, just play around and experiment (I bought mine, and have never used the book..all I learned is from experimenting) Just use the lasso tool, set it to point ot point (from the tool option thingie) then click where you want and your done! If that didnt make sense I helped someone else in a diff PSP thread in more detail but I g2g..lol feel free to aim me anytime
