I am not sure where this goes so I will ask here.

I just got Paint Shop Pro X and I am so lost. I would like to learn how to make wallpapers, icons, avatars but I have no idea where to start.

If you look in our tutorials section. There are tutorials for paint shop pro 7, 8, and 9.
They'll work on X as well.

oh really thanks!

I tried looking there but I did not see anything specific to what I need to do. Did I overlook it?

just in case I need to clarify

wallpapers=image for desktop background

icons/avatars=images for message boards and live journal

signatures=signature image for message boards and forums

:D

Thanks in advance

There won't be any tutorials on how to make an avatar/signature.
You can use those tutorials on some image and make it look more professionalized and create them into avatars. Avatars and signatures are basically just images.

signatures are more than just images. they have text and backgrounds and blends and textures to the images as well

Exactly, just do some good effects to some images and make it become a signature, therefore signatures are basically images. Is a design not an image?
