Students' Feedback
Dear Wendi,
I have never written to anyone in this regard before but I just had to write a heartfelt thank you to you for your extraordinary tutorials. My daughter and I were fortunate enough to stumble upon your website whilst researching how to work our PS CS3 (even with countless books and DVDs, we were still so lost as how to do even the most basic tasks within this incredibly powerful program) and then we found your site and mercy are we ever grateful! For the very FIRST time since we have owned our software we were able to finally use it with fabulous results, even my Daughter - who is only 14 years old, was able to easily follow (on her first try, I might add) one of your "Intermediate Plus" tutorials to a tee! She is so proud of herself - as am I; And YOU are the reason for this boost in her self confidence and "I CAN DO IT" attitude, and for this I am most grateful.
Thank you Wendi for taking the time to write these tutorials (I can only imagine all the time and hard work you must have put into these). PS: We will also be purchasing your PSP tutorials when they are available for sale this summer, and this time, we will do it right and not even bother with any books or silly DVDs; we will just wait patiently for your tutorials. You are truly amazing in our book! For a while there I was resigned to thinking that perhaps I was just a tad too dense to ever learn how to work our PS CS3 software, so you could imagine our delight when we found your site and tried our very first tutorial, and it worked so splendidly for us! It was that "Aha!" moment when you say "Mercy”, I get it now!" Thank you so much for giving us that moment, that moment of perfect clarity! I really appreciate your Outstanding Customer Service and it just makes me even more pleased to know that I will be purchasing from not only a gifted tutorial writer but also a genuinely kind person who takes the time to make sure their "Students" feel special. My daughter and I are very much looking forward to being your Students!
Wendi,
Thanks for putting the information up for applying text to a Bezier curve; I can't tell you how many places I've tried on the Web but not a one led me even near success but yours. Thank you so much for your selflessness and hard work... boneheads like me depend heavily on you guys with the brains ;D

Very rarely am I compelled to put "pen to paper" so to speak, but I felt obliged to pass on compliments on your web site. I have spent a lot of money on books but none have given me such help as the step by step tutorials which I find easy to work along with.
Many thanks, as I appreciate how much time and effort was put in. I have this site well and truly bookmarked and it will be used many many times. Regards.
I am walking in the presence of giants here, first-class Gimps Tuts. Cool thinking all around!
Dear Ms. Scarth, I am a Photoshop teacher at a public high school in Dallas, TX, USA. When I found your website with all your colourful and easy to read (and, not too difficult to understand) CS4 tutorials written in .pdf format, I was both greatly impressed and pleased because I cannot use so many of the video tutorials out there on the Web because the school district typically blocks them and it's a hassle to get them unblocked. (Whew! Long sentence.) Also, great tutorial books like "Adobe Photoshop CS4 one-on-one" by Deke McClelland are simply much too deep for high schoolers (who hate to read), and the videos too often go too fast. In other words, your tutorials broken down into individual topics, typically covered in only a few written pages with lots of colour pictures - are going to be much more user-friendly to my high schoolers.
Oh my God, you are an Angel sent from above. I have been trying for the past 2 months to figure out how to make a photo cube for my son’s wedding thank you cards. It wasendless, I had given up hope: a friend lent me his computer with Photoshop installed but that was not enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hi Wendi
I have just purchased Paint Shop Pro and I wanted the additional advantage of tutorials, and that’s when I found you. Your tutorials are the most helpful thing I could possibly be doing to speed and deepen my learning. They are not only well written, clear and easy to follow and accomplish, they are a lot of fun! Most importantly, they are very educational. They are, in my opinion, the best Paint Shop Pro tutorials to be found anywhere, and I could never say how much they are helping me. It’s the step-by-step guidance in doing it along with you that really connects with my way of learning. Your style and way of engaging with the student are a very nice touch. I did several of your free tutorials at first. but before long, I realised I wanted all of them. To have so many tutorials available, I think you must have spent a huge amount of time in the past, constructing and publishing them all. Thank you for sharing your expertise and all the work you have done to provide for the needs of a PSP user and learner like me.
​Sincerely, Thayne Logan.
Hi Wendi
​I just wanted to say thank you, for posting such a great tutorial. With the dissolve of the MSN groups, it's hard to keep creating... especially, without the tutorials. Your tutorial was easy to follow, and I appreciated finding it. I attached, what I created...I blew the dust off my PSP8, so I'm a little rusty. The picture, is one that I took...I used your tutorial, to make a cover photo, for Facebook, by cropping the original photo, and pasting it into the proper size canvas(For cover photo.
Hope you have an awesome day. Thanks again :)
​Sincerely,
​Jackie.
I have purchased your collection of tutorials and have found them to be wonderful. They are so comprehensive and easy to follow. I spent 6 weeks trying to do 2 layers with my newly purchased PaintShopProx5, following the video instructions and still I couldn't do it (the first step of turning off the tabbed documents was missing). I was able to achieve a lovely result straight away with your tutorial on layers. I will turn 80 next birthday and am finding your tutorials very stimulating, creative and exciting.
​Dear Wendy,
Just a note to thank you for the PDF files.
​I bought your PDF files for Photo Shop some years ago when I was just a beginner and I learnt a lot from them.
​
I did an OU digital photography course and showed off some of my work I learnt from your tutorials. The responses were very good and I was able to direct them to your link which I was told was very helpful by quite a few people.
​
I have recently got into PSP, I have X5, I have 7 also but found it too complicated after using Photo Shop CS3 for years. I find with PSPX5 that I can translate better what I know about Photo Shop.
​
I have wanted to learn animation shop for about a year now but have been putting it off but
I am now getting into it.
​I was looking for a tutorial on animating a firework for a New Year animation I am doing and low and behold I came across your site for the PSP PDF files and saw you had a fireworks animation with it so I just had to buy it. I would've bought them anyway even without!
​I am so chuffed that you have done these for us and all the work you have put into doing them!
​Well I am going to finish my fireworks animation, just wanted to say hi and thanks.
​Kind regards.
​Happy Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.

Hi Wendi.
I Just wanted to say thank you. I have been using Paint Shop Pro for years and with your tutorials it is the first time I have been able to understand what to do with the program.
I am glad I found your site. Cathy.
Hi Wendi.
Your tutorials are great. The best investment I have ever made.
Hi Wendi.
I have been using your instructions for a long time now (PSP), and yours are the best and easiest to understand, which is why I might look and try other tutorials, but I always come back to you.
Wendy.
I am enjoying your web site very much you are very talented to have compiled this wonderful collection of well done and easy to follow Paint Shop Pro tutorials. For whatever it is worth, I find your abilities very impressive. Kudos to you Wendy!
Hi Wendi.
Just wanted to tell you that I have looked everywhere for a Paint Shop Pro X3 book to purchase, without success. I am so pleased I have found your website, your tutorials are very easy to follow and have taught me so much, thank you for all your hard work and for painlessly teaching me how to use Paint Shop Pro - keep up the good work! Are you thinking of writing a book? if you are, I would definitely buy it.
Dear Ms. Scarth
I am a brand new "customer" for your tutorials but I am already extremely impressed with the quality of your tutorials. I have fairly good background with PSP 7, mostly self taught by trial and error. However, your tutorials have already (within slightly over a day) increased my abilities to achieve results that would have taken me hours and hours of time otherwise. Your tutorials are a great value for the nominal fee that you are charging. Have a wonderful day. PS: Thanks also for providing access to future updates etc. Greatly appreciated.
I just wanted to let you know that I thought your site was a breath of fresh air. So often, my friend and I have come across tutorial sites that just assume that we are the next thing to professionals and leave us more confused when we leave than when we arrived. Your site is not like that, it's very user friendly. Thank you very much for providing such a pleasant place to visit.
Hi Wendi.
I have been searching forever for comprehensive lessons for PSP X2 Ultimate. You have already helped me with your free lessons and I thank you.
Hi.
I am really enjoying your Paint Shop Pro Made Easy Collection, I am a beginner, and I am finding all your tutorials easy to follow, including your advanced lessons.
Thanks so much.
Hello Wendi,
I just want to say that I am very pleased with my purchase, I totally love your Paint Shop Pro Made Easy course, and I’ve been reading none stop since I purchased it. I look forward to any updates you release in the future.
Hi.
I just wanted to say a big thank you and as I am normally more than a little skeptical about purchases on the internet. However you have restored my faith with the generosity and wealth of information you have provided, which will keep me occupied for many a winters night ahead.
I’ve been using the internet for six years and I’ve never come across a site like this!
This is the most helpful and amazing site I’ve ever seen!
Thank you so much for showing me so many new things. Whoever put this site together is very generous and a great teacher. Absolutely extraordinary site!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
Stayed up late last night opening the Zipped files to see all of the goodies. More than worth the price you are asking. Can't wait to get home from work today to start the lessons.
Thank You.
Thanks Wendi.
For the first time I can understand what PSP is all about.

Great work. I do some web work but have never done the art work myself. Now I am learning and want to use Paint Shop Pro (I have X2). Almost all other sites deal only with older versions and most significantly NONE that I have found previously really help with the basics so I can learn how the primary functions work. It is hard to follow specific tutorials when they give you settings but don't tell you how those settings work.
I am just learning Paint Shop Pro and your tutorials are driving me wild. I feel I can accomplish a lot through them.
Hi Wendi, thanks a lot for amending the animated sparkle tutorial, I am a pro already with it, LOL!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I found the solution to fixing
PSP 7 layer palette freezing on your site!
I couldn't find it anywhere else!
Very much appreciated!!!
I came across your site while browsing for tutorials as I am new to PSP 7 and PSP 9. I just want to tell you that your site is the BEST I’ve come across thus far. So many tutorials don’t fully explain the steps necessary to create the final outcome. I want to thank you for creating this site. You truly deserve recognition for your time and effort. God Bless.
Chris calling from the UK here. Just wanted to drop a line to say how useful I found your Film Strip tutorial for GIMP. I am just an enthusiast rather than an artwork pro, but your website is a great resource and I have bookmarked for the future. Many thanks again, Chris.
Just been looking round your site and notice you have written 1,500 pdfs, wow. Just wanted to say thanks for your great Gimp tutorials, I have learned so much from your site. Keep up the good work.
Wow. Your GIMP tutorials are the best on the web, keep up the good work. I am like a kid a candy store here, thank you.
Brilliant, I have just removed my horse from a background, to be made into a logo for our horse box. You make it so simple!
I have had Photoshop CS5 on my computer for ages and it has been an almost complete mystery to me. I have tried several tutorials from the internet with varying degrees of success from none to very little. Today I used your Fake HDR tutorial and it was fantastic. Easy to follow, easy to use - totally brilliant. Thank you very much indeed.
Hi Wendi.
I love your Website, I think your Photoshop Elements tutorials are awesome! I like your site so much I have made it my Home Page. I am really excited about your tutorials they are very easy to follow. Thank you so much for your expert advice.
Wendy, I just bought your tutorials. They are wonderful, much better than going through a dry Photoshop written by a photographer with an attitude. Your tutorials are like a breath of fresh air. So, big thanks to you.
Hi There Miss Wendi!
Just found your excellent web site and I have purchased your Photoshop PDF Collection.
I feel like a kid in a candy store, and I cannot believe the value for money your PDFs represent, the price is nominal for the amount of content included. This will keep me happy for a very long time. Thank you so very much. Much Love.
Hi Wendi
I came across your site today and am blown away!! I have to congratulate you on the very detailed and simple way you present your tutorials - they keep it simple and to the point!
I just wanted to take the time to say thank you so much for your tutorials! I have been floundering with Photoshop for so long, and you’re detailed, methodical, and most of all informative; in the sense of exactly how the various techniques are used.
I followed through your Layers tutorial and got it all first time - how could you not, since it was so clear? Thanks again!
Hi Wendy,
I am from Argentina, and I want to tell you this is the best site to learn Photoshop. Every lesson is very easy to follow, and step-by-step. Especially for a beginner like me.
I want to say thank you very much.
Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that your tutorials have proved invaluable to me. They are so clear and concise. I bought the full tutorial set a little while ago and I am working my way through them when I can. I am really amazed at what I can do now even after just a few lessons. Thanks again.
Hi Wendi
Just wanted to say thanks for helping me learn a little bit more about Photoshop. I have lost count of the quantity of books that I have bought (plus the cost) however I found your tutorials the easiest to follow. Normally I can use software without tuition but for some reason not Photoshop!! I will now purchase the 321 tutorials to further my skills. Thanks again and keep up the good work !!
I purchased your Photoshop tutorials in May this year and I am enjoying working with some of my photos from skills I have learnt from your tutorials. Your tutorials are excellent and very easy to follow for a beginner like myself in Photoshop.
I just want to thank you for the excellent work you do in providing clear instructions using Photoshop. I am pretty good with applications but feel somewhat intimidated by Photoshop, I have the Classroom In A Book but haven’t yet started it. Thanks to its excellent layout, your website lets me do the basic tasks. Thanks again.
I have been searching high and low for suitable Photoshop tutorials. I thank you for making such well-designed, informative and user-friendly tutorials available free to a hungry student like me.
Thanks Wendi for a very nice and interesting website. I'm just learning my Photoshop 2 course and your website has already helped me a lot!!!
I have been using your Photoshop tutorials for a few weeks now. I was so impressed that I have just bought and down loaded the full PDF series.
Gosh! you're so awesome, thank you for building this website, I can learn so much here, I'll be able to enhance my skills here.... More Power!
Thank you for sharing with the world this great tutorial website of yours. I wish you all the best :-)
Hi Wendi
just wanted to say an enormous thank you for your oh-so-easy- to understand tutorial on triptychs -it's the best tutorial for quick results - fab!
I think that your tutorials are really great and easy to understand, I thank you for doing this as I am a beginner in graphic design, but I used to do something similar to it, anyway, I wanted to ask, in the face painting tutorial does the face have to be in black and white?
thank you. (Answered Yes, it does need to be monochrome).
I just wanna thank you for the tutorials. I made my first glitter text tonight! I know it isn’t much, but it’s pretty exciting, take care.
You have a great website. Your Photoshop tutorials are very well explained.
Just been looking round your site and notice you have written 1,500 pdfs, wow. Just wanted to say thanks for your great Gimp tutorials, I have learned so much from your site. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic. I have just found your site, and being new to GIMP, I am really excited to find your informative and easy to follow GIMP tuts. Thank you!!
Thanks Wendi, for your wonderful tutorials on GIMP. I can’t afford to buy Photoshop. Now I don’t need to.
Fantastic. I have just found your site, and being new to GIMP, I am really excited to find your informative and easy to follow GIMP tuts. Thank you!!
Thank you Wendi. I have downloaded everything (I think) but not had a chance to look at your tutorials yet. Internet has been very slow tonight. I found you because I was looking for a way to completely disable the Tabbed Documents feature “ it drives me insane!
That is the first tutorial I will look at tomorrow when I boot up my PC!
