PSP8 Workspace Guide

[syndarys]

Not a tutorial per-say, but a guide to the workspace in PSP8. Basically, it's a labelled screencap of PSP8 - somewhat like the one of PS7 that etoilepb made (I think it was her, anyway... do correct me if I'm wrong)...

Please note that there is a LARGE picture under the cut - a 1024x768 workspace! Along with a couple of long tables detailing a couple of the Dropdown Menu's... I've been rather thorough :P

If y'all could tell me if there are any areas you would like explaining in more depth (IE, what does the Hue Map do?), I would be happy to do my best, though I will confess that I'm not an expert in all the tools noted above! Indeed, there are some I've never even used before (*eyes up the Lens Correction settings with a frown*), but that doesnt mean I wont give 'em a go if you ask what they do ;) I'll find out somehow... ;) LOL...

Love,
Kris
