“I have been involved with computers for over 20 years, having started as a large IBM mainframe programmer in the late 80’s and 90’s. I then turned my attention to the personal computer arena, and soon discovered Paint Shop Pro. I have served as a beta tester since version 8, and with the advent of scripting in PSP 8, my interest in programming again come to life, and I taught myself Python so I could go beyond simply recording scripts. Over the years, I have written hundreds of scripts, to automate lengthy or repetitive tasks, as well as to create frames and fun images like stamps and postcards and “blinkies”. After being asked the “how did you do that?” question over and over again, and wanting to share the intricacies and power of PSP scripts with everyone, I eventually developed a comprehensive course in PSP Scripting.”
