The remaining 12 lessons cover the essentials, including basic photo corrections working with selections layer basics masks and channels retouching and repairing painting and editing basic pen tool techniques vector masks, paths, and shapes advanced layer techniques creating special effects preparing images for two-color printing optimizing web images and image maps adding interactive slices and rollovers creating animated images setting up your monitor for color management and producing and printing consistent color.
The beginning chapters (Getting to Know the Work Area and Using the File Browser) are perhaps a bit basic, but might be necessary for those completely unfamiliar with the program. The instructions are straightforward, clearly written, understandable, and informative. The book's divided into 18 lessons, all roughly the same length, so it was easy to map out a plan and stick to it. I was able to work through "Photoshop 7.0 CIB" in about a week. Before picking up "Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Classroom in a Book," I could perform basic photo manipulations and touch-ups, but not much more. While I had tinkered around with Photoshop a bit in the past, I had to buckle down and get serious about it for work a few years ago.
Good introductory text, but not the best reference tool! Easy-to-use project files on the accompanying CD-ROM complete the package. You'll find step-by-step instructions for a variety of projects (from beginning to advanced) and review questions at the end of each chapter to reinforce what you've learned. Completely revised to cover all of Photoshop 7's new features (including the new Healing Brush, color correction commands, and file management tools), the book starts with an introductory tour of the software and then progresses on through 16 lessons, covering everything from Photoshop's interface to more complex topics like color management, Web graphics, and photo retouching. Thus, when a new version of the popular program appears, designers tend to stand up and take notice-hen get down to the serious business of learning about it And for that, there's no better place to turn than the book from the people behind the product: Adobe Press' Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Classroom in a Book.Using the same style of self-paced instruction employed in the best-selling previous edition, this comprehensive set of Photoshop lessons provides everything you need to dive into the world of print, Web, and graphic design with Photoshop 7. When it comes to digital imaging software, Adobe Photoshop has long set the standard.
