Book Reviews of Photoshop 7 for Dummies
Book Review: it is an excellent guide
Summary: 4 Stars
this is the guide book I needed. too often manuals are too technically written, expressing the writers viewpoint without consideration forthe reader. this book doe stake the reader into consideration and is written in an easy-to-understand style.Book Review: Photoshop 7
Summary: 4 Stars
Great book; gets me through the tough stuff with very little verbage and very understandable.Book Review: Something must be missing
Summary: 3 Stars
I needed to learn how to make banners so, I got myself this book, although I did not expect much from it. My husband showed me first steps and with the book, I was able to learn how to use Photoshop in a week. While the book is full of helpful information might not be anything but a very basic beginner guide how to use colors and what pixels are, but if you actually want to make good looking product this book by itself will not be enough.Book Review: Assumes too much
Summary: 3 Stars
In some parts they assume to much, it misses steps or suddenly introduces new words out of nowhere as if you knew the program. The other thing that its not visual at all, a ton of things could have been explained much easier and faster using visuals. I mean I did find it useful but probably because I read it all, however it was kind of annoying how they tend to forget who their audience is.
Book Review: A Little Too Advanced...
Summary: 2 Stars
I have always loved the Dummies Series and I will continue to purchase these informative books in the future; However, if you are not familliar with Photoshop to begin with, it's not the best choice.
A lot of the book refers back to previous editions of Photoshop, but the authors swing from one side to another - either thinking that the reader is using a computer for the very first time, or have just purchased 7.0 as an upgrade.
There is no middle ground for folks who have a solid computer background but just need to know what all the Photoshop options and icons do. Way too much of one chapter is dedicated to changing how the main screen is configured.
I would say anyone who is a complete computer novice, yet managed to have moderate usage of the previous PhotoShop versions should benefit from this book.
(And I hate it when authors offer to give a hint, but only if you purchase their OTHER book...)
