Paint Shop Pro Help PLEASE

I just got paint shop pro x2 and I would like to start creating things for Second Life, only I can't figure out how to use the program. Does anyone know of a good place to go to start getting help. I have been playing SL for 2 years now and I have created furniture but I would like to try making textures, clothes, and maybe skin. Please I really need some help. Thanks to all in advance

Here's a tutorial for creating alpha channels -

Just google paintshop pro tutorials and you're off!

A quick Google search for "Paint Shop Pro X2 getting started" lead me to this series of videos:

It seems more photography-centric than would be ideal, given that texturing is the goal. But it's probably as good a place to start as any.

I notice there are also a number of books available on Barnes N' Noble's' website. This one sounds pretty good:

Thanks to you both for all the great info I can't wait to get started

Also, search these very forums for general beginner advice about *any* graphics program. They will also apply to PSP.

For example,

Step 0: Learning to create good graphics is not trivial. Take your time, and try no to get frustrated at the beginning.

Step 1: Start small. Do something simple. Don't start with a ball gown for a dragon.
