Not enough good worked examples - By: , 23 Jan 2004
This book tells how PSP7 works but disappointingly does not give enough information about actuallly achieving some of the 'cool' graphics on the web today, which is what I was looking for.
Better than some more expensive books about Paint Shop Pro - By: , 04 Jun 2002
If you are new to PSP7 then this will definitely make some sense of that weighty Users Manual. It is not so basic as to bore even intermediate users of PSP either - there is stuff to keep a wide range of skills interested here.

I would go so far as to say that this is better than T. Michael Clark's Teach Yourself Paint Shop Pro 7 in 24 Hours. By a long way too.

A dynamic book for a dynamic programme. - By: , 21 Jun 2001
As a relative newcomer to Digital Images & Graphics I found the CIG the perfect answer for getting up & running in no time at alll. I liked the layout with the book broken down into chapters that lead the reader systematicallly from the basics through to the more complex aspects of the programme. This layout makes it very easy to refer to specific topics or tasks as & when required. Used interactively each chapter makes an ideal lesson. Some of the topics are a little difficult eg masks, alpha channels & adjustment layers but I put this down to my inexperience rather than the book. Each chapter provides clear & concise instructions & guidance with many features & useful tips highlighted by the use of separate framed sections. The "Cheat Sheet" at the front of the book is extremely useful for learning keyboard shortcuts particularly for the Tool Palette. One smalll criticism - as a novice I would have appreciated a chapter or at least a few pages on the relationship between file size & resolution, very important I feel in getting the image out. PSP 7 is a dynamic software programme & it is impossible for one book to cover alll aspects of the programme ( eg Animation Shop - the very basics are covered) but the CIG does go a long way in providing you with alll you need to know & at the same time make the learning process enjoyable. To sum up CIG is an excellent book that takes the reader to the base of the mountain that is PSP7 & fully equips them for the climb.
