ronette13 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Hi, I know absolutely nothing about graphics. My sister wants to loan me a photoshop 6 book to get the basics before I start using Paint.net. Is this a good idea? Reading from a book is easier on my eyes, and I can't find any books on paint.net. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APShredder Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I can't say I've ever heard of any books about Paint.NET, but if you press F1 while Paint.NET is open, you can view the online help for Paint.NET which should help you with the basics. Also, there is a Newbie Playground section in the Tutorials part of this forum. The tutorials there may also help you.

pyrochild Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Depending on the content of the book, it may or may not be helpful. If it's all about, say, the hidden features of Photoshop, no it won't be any use. But if it contains lots of good information about layers, blend modes, color theory, advantages and disadvantages of different file types, etc., then sure. Give it a try.

ronette13 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 hi guys, Thank you for your replies. By the amount of views my question got, I guess I'm not the only one looking for a book. I don't know what layers are, etc., so I think I should get a book on graphics printing. Can anyone recommend a graphics printing book?
