Who said it was done in Paintshop

Oh well then use Photoshop it's far superior.

\edit I have a copy of Paintshop but have never really used it so if it does have blending modes then i appologise, but I don't appologise for saying Photoshop is better.

Quick and Dirty more like

Photoshop has it all and then some, there is nothing that Paintshop can do that Photoshop can't do better and easier if you have the experience.

There are many good books and website devoted

to Photoshop techniques. Paintshop has an easier to understand interface if you haven't any Photoshop experience but if you started on Photoshop 5 like me then PSP seems harder to understand and far more difficult to get what you want.

I guess it's just a case

of using what you're used to :)

I started with PSP 7 for 3 years, then got Photoshop 7 last year...

Just about getting the hang of it :) Took me AGES to find the transform tool ;) Stupid thing...hidden under the "EDIT" menu of all places, wheras it _should_ be under Layer (if there is any justice in the world) ;)

Hehehe... Also, finding "Drop Shadow" took me ages ;)

I've had Photoshop 7 for over a year now

and it all straight forward to me, but as you say it what you're used to. I personally love the Pen Tool for creating a Path and then applying selection to the finished path which then allows me to apply a layer mask for a really professional looking selection.

/edit: The Transform Tool has always been under the Edit menu so I suppose if you have had previous versions of Photoshop then it's easy to find CTRL + T is the shortcut and you can change the Transform to a Perspective Transform my pressing and holding Shift + Alt + Ctrl whilst dragging an anchor point with the mouse.
