I know that some of you still have and use older versions of Paint Shop Pro, like version 7. In fact, although I have version 10 on my computer, I still have version 7 loaded as well. Why? It is a smaller program and thus loads much much faster than newer versions and uses less computer resources. If I want to do a quick crop of an image, or some other simple task, I'll use version 7.

A quick tutorial describing the process of removing a solid background from an image. This tutorial is based on a standard Chroma Key green background. The tutorial is 5 minutes long.
I can also recommend a book that goes into more detail on this technique, and explains how to do this without a chromakey backdrop. More book info at the Back Drops Book webpage.

If you are uploading images to the internet, especially for use as part of a website, make sure that you resize your images in a graphics editor so that their file sizes get smaller. If you just resize images by specifying a width and height in HTML or CSS, then they still take just as long to download as they would have, without the extra time serving any useful purpose.

I have been a Paint Shop Pro fan since version 7. In fact, I still have version 7 on my computer, as it is much faster for simple tasks, like cropping or resizing. I also have the latest, version XI, or version 11 for you none Roman Numeral types!
I have included a link to the Buy TV review of Paint Shop Pro version XI. The review is about 3 minutes long. (you may have to click on the image twice before the tutorial will begin)
