Read the manual and keep it handy
The programs are good and I've used quite a few but not all of them. It can be used easily with just the basic functions but I like to keep the manual in a handy drawer for the different programs. I find the instructions quite adequate and I've not had anything go wrong yet. Unlike your "typical male" I like to read manuals for everything I buy and I suggest reading this one through to at least get a knowledge of what it can do and keep it handy for more detailed instructions when you want to try something new.
