Product Description
Product Description
Adobe Photoshop is one of those programs that both dazzles and dismays: You can do extraordinary things with it--as long as you don't get lost in its maze of palettes and toolbars. Luckily for you, with Photoshop 7 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide,, that needn't be a problem! If you're ready to take on image editing in Photoshop 7, this straight-ahead visual reference is the place to start.
Veteran authors Elaine Weinmann and Peter Lourekas are back with a completely revised edition of the guide that's become the standard for Photoshop instruction in classrooms, homes, and offices. Through clear, concise instructions and a multitude of screen shots, this book steps you through the basics of photo editing, manipulation, optimization, and correction. It also provides complete coverage of all that's new in version 7: native Mac OS X support, a new painting engine that facilitates wet and dry brush effects, and more--all in a task-based format that constantly reminds you of where you are in the program and what you're trying to accomplish.

The pages are set out in two column format (think newspaper columns). The text is in one column and the screenshots showing you where you are and what's going on are in the other column. It's also loaded with tips and shortcuts and even the section entitled "The Basics" contained points, techniques and shortcuts that I wasn't aware of.
What it is missing is the "suppose you wanted to put a new hat on your Aunty" or "you want to see what your family pet would look like with green eyes". You're not going to find that in this book. But, if you look up "Replace color" in the index and flick to the correct page, 8 steps later and Rover is sporting those green eyes you had in mind.
Overall, this book is brimming over with facts. If you're looking for a book that you can use as a reference book and as a "what else can I find out about Photoshop today then?", you would be well rewarded to give this book a try.
I'm dyslexic and had real problems with the dummy books but the visual guides are so well written even i could understand them and they helped me through all my exams
Although there are some interesting examples of artists' work in colour there is no explanation as to how they were made, which is a pity and seems therefore rather pointless. We all know what can be done but we want to know how to do it. That is why we buy such books. Some coloured examples, instead of so many small b&w ones, which show the processes would enhance the book no end.
