Hi Trina,

You have come to the right place. There are lots of friendly members here willing to lend a hand. I sent you a Private Message with a link to a tutorial I wrote on getting started. Have fun! And please ask any questions you have!

I learned from a digital scrapbooking book. It was easy to follow and when you did the projects, the way the tools worked just fell into place.

It was printed in the UK, and I thought it was out of print - but recently I saw it again.

It's a book from 2005 and it isn't precisely PSE - but it translates easily into all versions of PSE or similar programs. It's well illustrated.

Available in US also

Hi Trina,

Karen is really good with PSE. She has written a whole manual on it; I'm sure she will be able to help you get a start and make some recommendations on other resources.

Unfortunately I use CS5 so I can't be of much help to you.
