Awesome! That's a really good program. Adjustment layers are great! I have come to love them. Experiment with their blending modes and opacity, too.
It's often useful to tone down effects by lowering the (adjustment) layer opacity, or to mask parts of the image so not everything gets lightened/sharpened, etc.
The iconmaker community is wonderful on LJ. They write very helpful tutorials. I'll see if I can find some good ones for PSP. Here's a simple one, for example. It's for PSP XI, I don't know how much 7 can do:
It's about configuring it to use a certain amount of disk space for undo actions. This lets you decide how many actions it saves that you can undo. I hope you'll find it. Undo is the most important thing. (After layers, and masks, ... heee :))
Of course you can only undo all the actions in the order you did them, it's not possible to just undo one out of the middle.
Photoshop has a history brush to selectively go back to a state before - and that doesn't have to be the last one. I don't think PSP has anything similar, though. :/ But it took me years to find it in PS, so who knows. *g*

There must be Undo in PSP. I don't know exactly how it works or where it is hidden, but it exists. I found this concerning Undo in PSP: http://help.corel.com/paintshop-pro/v19/main/en/documentation/Corel_PaintShop_Pro/Setting_Undo_preferences.html
