Inside Photoshop 7 is as much a work of art as the art it teaches. Like never before, it?s accessible and simple to shorten your learning curve and conquer the features you need most. The new organization in this edition focuses on a hub system--a solid core of reference material and hands-on examples organized by areas of interest. Lead author Gary Bouton called on industry leaders to help flesh out every area of Photoshop interest from art to the web. Inside Photoshop 7 is your one-stop reference for understanding the concepts you need. Dozens of mini-tutorials and real-world assignments will make reading and learning from this book as much fun as the authors had creating it.
