Closed (sort of)

TEOM as you know it has been closed. I will keep it up for reference but it no longer will receive tutorial updates.

There are plans for a completely new site. If you'd like to be notified once the other site is up, simply subscribe to my mailing list.

Thanks for the support throughout all these years :)

Paint Shop Pro X

Version compatibility: Although the tutorials were written for Paint Shop Pro X, most can be followed by users with older versions, usually with a few simple tweaks.

Plug-ins: there’s a special Plug-in Help page that deals with common – and uncommon – problems faced by plug-in users.

If you run into troubles feel free to contact me.
