Paint Shop Pro 7

I understood, a good flash will not be without a paint program. I dont have enough cash currently so i started with Paint Shop Pro 8. But i dont know where should i start, what should i do. Is there any tutorial page for this or sth like that?

i’ve bought Photo Shop 7. This will be much easier for me i think because i used to use photoshop 5 much

I want to ask one thing. All the colors are from black to white. I mean they are in greyscale. Whatever i choose. Why is it like that, how can i fix it?
