The Old Issues Laying around. Official Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo Magazine:
Issue 7 & 8 2009 - If you have these issues you can find our video tutorials, tubes, backgrounds, and gradients in the Official Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo Magazine. I would like to thank the magazines editor, Duncan Evans, for all of his hard work during the run time of the magazine. During the hard financial times this year it has been hard on both families and companies. We hope to see Corel return the magazine to its full glory in the future. Until then we here at Michele's Paint Shop will continue to offer everything a Paint Shop Pro user enjoys.
