Tour of PaintShop Pro

Next we're going to be looking at the bar at the bottom of the PSP workstation.

On the right hand side, you have some information about your current (active) image.

The above screenshot shows some info about the image I have open - your details may be slightly different.  The 150x150x16 Million tells me the height and width of my image (150 by 150 pixels) and the number of colours it is set to (16 million).  The next part tells me the current file size of my image, so if I save my image now, as the default type, the file size of my image will be 89.5k.

On the left hand side of the bar you have the prompt telling you to hit F1 if you need help:

Take your cursor and hover over your image.  You will notice that this part of the bar changes to some numbers.  

These numbers tell you where your cursor is in your image.  The very first pixel (in the top left hand corner) will have the numbers (0,0) and the very last pixel in the bottom right hand corner will have the numbers (150,150) on my image.  The very first pixel will always be (0,0) and the very last pixel will always show the same size as your image.  When I hovered my cursor over my image and took the screen shot, this is where my cursor was - 65 pixels from the left hand side and 69 pixels down from the top.

In some tutorials on the internet they ask you to do something at a certain place in your image and they give you the numbers - these are the numbers the tutorial is referring to :o)

Move your cursor around on your image and notice how the numbers change.  Try and find a way (using the things you have already learnt from this tour) to increase and decrease your file size.
