You're gonna love this book and the effects it allows., Jun 8 2003
This review is from: Adobe(R) Photoshop(R) 7 One Click Wow! (Paperback)
It took me a while to get around to loading this program onto Photoshop 7 but after doing so I can't figure why I waited so long. It's easy to use and so-o-o forgiving. I particularly like being able to reset the copy and retain the total effect. Some of the effects are much better and more useful than others, but once you get past the fun of playing with the process it will save you hours in creative time and make your work more unique. A great investment.

Jack and Linnea Have Done All the Work For You, May 15 2003
This review is from: Adobe(R) Photoshop(R) 7 One Click Wow! (Paperback)
The greatest value of One Click WOW is the CD which includes:
• 60 custom brush presets
• 300 styles for photos, type, and graphics,
• 150 styles for buttons,
• 50 styles for ImageReady rollovers complete with JavaScript code,
• 40 gradient presets,
• over 150 seamless pattern textures,
• 60 actions,
• 60 art media tool presets,
• tutorial and sample files
One Click WOW works on the Layer Styles in both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. So you just install and you're ready to go. You really don't have to read anything, but I suggest reading the part where it explains resolution (all theirs are done at 225 ppi) and how to get the best results, how to scale their presets, etc.
The book contains what seems like a zillion (technical term) sample images of the various styles, presets, patterns and brushes, gradient effects, photo effects... vignettes, frames, borders, tints, color effects, textures, patterns, grains and even various darkroom effects
You can set some text or create a simple grayscale image, then click on one of their presets, and voila! You instantly have results that might have taken hours.
They also give you presets to change the look of photos, like adding film grain, and, near the back, Jack includes a little tutorial on his amazing technique to turn your photos into paintings (using the brush presets on the CD).
