Product Description
Book Description
Jack is back with the update to his best-selling, award-winning Photoshop Wow! Book! Readers have hailed previous versions of Jack Davis¿s landmark book as the "most useful Photoshop book ever" because of its practical, real-life solutions and its value-packed CD-ROM. The The Photoshop 7 Wow! Book simply ups the ante with even more time-saving techniques—completely updated for Adobe Photoshop 7.
In the The Photoshop 7 Wow! Book, the focus is on the visuals: Using beautiful, full-color pictures of professionally designed Photoshop projects, this volume clearly lays out the steps required to re-create these spectacular results in your own projects. To work visually, you need to think visually, and this book allows you to do just that. As with all of the titles in this popular series, the emphasis here is on results—how to produce the best work in the fewest steps possible. And sometimes that means using techniques even Adobe hasn¿t thought of, such as the Wow! Media Painting and Layer Style techniques introduced here.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazing in-depth knowledge of Photoshop features,
By BG from TN (TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Photoshop 7 Wow! Book (Paperback)
These people really know their Photoshop. Many reviewers have complained that the book is unsuitable for beginners, but I bought it immediately after buying Photoshop (which I'd never used before)and I've found it to be lucid and easy to follow. Anyone starting out in Photoshop has to be ready to deal with the learning curve-the program does EVERYTHING, so of course it's complicated. This book provides a thorough rundown on all sorts of great techniques, is clear and specific and beautifully illustrated. Highly recommended.

Not for Beginners!,
By Mike (Concord, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Photoshop 7 Wow! Book (Paperback)
While this book appears to be great for advanced users, it is certainly not a beginning photoshop book. After reading the previous reviews, I thought this book had it all. After purchasing it I was disappointed. It does not cover the basics as I had expected. If your looking for an introductory book please look elsewhere. However, I do look forward to using it once my skills have improved.

Worth the purchase,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Photoshop 7 Wow! Book (Paperback)
I really do like this book. I must say that what it does cover, it covers in great detail. It is a must have if you want to have a working understanding of all of Photoshop's features. While short on special effects and a bit too reliant on the proprietary styles and actions provided, my understanding of how to work with colour has been expanded 3 fold. The only complaint is that the first few chapters are a bit scattered and if you are not used to Photoshop, its not hard to get a little lost. They layout is also a bit busy (like the CNN Headlines channel) and can be a bit of an overload at times, but with all the content he covers, I don't really see a workaround for that. On the positive side you can be sure that you're not going to miss much. Around the second chapter, things start to follow a more definite path and the mass of information accumulated in chapter one starts to take shape. Overall, I am very happy with the book and it makes an excellent addition to my Photoshop library.
