Product Description
Jack is back with the update to his best-selling, award-winning Photoshop Wow! Book! Readers have hailed previous versions of Jack Davisook 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, such as the Wow! Media Painting and Layer Style techniques introduced here.

 PhotoShop7 Wow Book April 22, 2008
I bought this book as a Christmas gift. Seems to have gotten good reviews and my sister is a freak about Photoshop.
 Wow!? April 21, 2008
I am a novice photoshop user but very good with computers and software. I purchased this book in the hopes that I would immediately be trying stuff with photoshop... wrong... The first chapter is all introduction. The first 50+ pages are all discussions on techniques and shortcuts to work more proficiently in photoshop... not actually working on a project. I was expecting more of an interactive tutorial type book and the first chapter of this one was difficult to get through because it really is not interactive.
As the book reads on in chapter 2 (and the remaining chapters), things get much more interactive. The tedious first chapter starts making sense! There is great information in the first chapter and I can see how the author might think it is the key to the book. But for me, it seems this information could have been demonstrated (or illustrated) in a better way. Maybe a reference chart or an appendix?
This is a good book with a lot of great information in it. I would give it 4+ stars if it weren't for that first chapter. I expected to be engaged in the first paragraph with the photoshop program opened on my computer and instead I found myself fiddling with the computer and losing interest in the book after the 5th page. I'm glad I held out fo the other chapters.
A Wealth of Information January 20, 2008
This book contains a lot of information and illustrations but could be better organized as it seems to jump from topic to topic. The CD is a bonus as it contains styles and actions that can be used in later Photoshop versions. This book is a very good bargain if you are still using Photoshop 7.
The name says it all - Wow! June 8, 2007
I thought I knew Photoshop - until I bought this book. I bought this book just for the extras; syles, textures, etc. But, ended up learning a lot - such as, how to create & use a texture map for realistic 3D effects; how to use a gradient for a neon sign effect, and tons more. I still, to this day, refer back to this book for reference. If you are wanting to learn more about Photoshop, these are the series of books that you need.
