new member intro

Post by jimb »

Hi All, I am new to PSP 2020 but many years experience of early PSP.

In the past, I used PSP for viewing and modifying photo JPEG's but more recently, as one of several apps to design 2D "engineering projects; (along with TurboCad and DRAW4)

I find the new PSP very versatile but not easy to fathom, maybe it is simply too biased towards art, (Not surprising, that is its main use!), anyway, I need to get used to it. It is obviously very powerful!

Right now I am trying to convert some model aircraft drawings to enlarge and select sections for building. I photograph the drawing, save as a jpeg and then scale-up and modify as required...

My main problem is finding appropriate options/processes/ objects (rectangle), and the help pages are not easy to use.

I hope I will learn lots from this forum.
