What is Paint Shop Pro and what is it used for?
A quick description of what Paint Shop Pro is known for

Paint Shop Pro is an image manipulation software utility. It comes with several different filters and effects to allow very interesting results to your picture files. Manipulation of your image files with PSP will offer you unique results often.

I would like to add that Paint Shop Pro is popular for allowing you to work in "Layers"

The program is also known for "PSP Tubes" which are images with transparent backgrounds, that are used in the way you would use a stamper. Tubes can be saved in the picture tubes folder for future use. The program is also popular for image manipulation such as "Make-overs" where you can edit a family photo to enhance the features of ones eyes, lips, and even make them appear thinner or heavier.

 

What are PSP Tubes and how do I use them?
You can use tubes for all your web & graphic designs

 


PSP Tubes Web Graphic Design SEO Newbie 101 TipsA tube is a graphic that you use while using the program called Paint Shop Professional. After you design the perfect graphic you want to save it for future use and the best way would be to save it as a .psptube file.

The best way to describe a tube is to say it works like a stamp, but the ink never runs out. To the left you will see the tube in action animation that shows me using my tube tool.

Paint Shop Professional is a great piece of software for scrapbookers, web designers, artists, and more. The popularity of this program has grown since version 8, and I expect it to continue to only get better with each version update. My personal opinion is that PSP X2 version 12 is their best one yet. Learn more about using PSP Tubes on our PSP Education Page.
