Here are a set of 8 Paint Shop Pro tutorials that will help you get started using Paint Shop. They were created in sequence, but you can view them in any order. The tutorials are all in Flash format and take anywhere from 3 minutes to about 5 minutes to view.

There is a set of play controls for the movies at the bottom of the tutorial screens. If you pause the movie it restarts from that point. If you stop and restart the movie it starts at the beginning. Be sure to turn on your computer speakers for sound.
