I am enjoying these video tutorials. Even though I have been using Paintshop Pro for a few years, I am still learning the tips and tricks for PSE 2024 which I’ve had for only a few months. I like both programs; each has features that make some tasks easier. Thanks for providing these and helping folks like me.
