Paint Shop Pro 7 For Dummies is well-suited to business and technical professionals and their office staff who prefer to do the image work themselves, rather than invoke the delay, cost, and uncertainty of turning it over to a specialist. This book addresses common needs such as: image sizing, cropping, enhancement, correction of defects, special effects, and certain special applications such as Web sites. Paint Shop Pro 7 For Dummies shows you how to use the new, powerful design and editing features including vector-based editable text tool options, multiple color/transparency gradients, Animation Shop 2, JPEG and GIF optimizer tools, and the enhanced visual browser file management. Many users learn the basics themselves, but often stumble when using the tool. Paint Shop Pro 7 For Dummies will guide you to choose the right tool for your project, explain how to use it effectively, and help you understand what aspect of the image needs to be altered.

5.0 out of 5 stars
If you are beginner,
By A Customer
This review is from: Paint Shop Pro 7 For Dummies (Paperback)
This book is excellent. Especialy for beginner. It describes many aspects of raster graphic from the begnning guiding the reader toward the real mastering of graphics. There are lots of details about tools and technics within Paint Shop Pro, plenty good info about file formats (gif, jpg, where to use gif or jpg, etc.) and optimisation (very important for web design). Paint Shop Pro in version 7 can (in lots of details) be compared with Adobe PhotoShop. If you are beginner or even intermidiat, this book will be very helpfull fos you.

Wriiten by dummies not for dummies,
By Rich Walcott (Framingham, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Paint Shop Pro 7 For Dummies (Paperback)
I found this book exteremly hard to get into. I kept looking for a part of the book where I would find some good examples to follow to get me started. The person that wrote this book made a study of the menus and interface but I don't believe they ever made practical use of the product. They need to get someone that actually understands the software and the field of graphics to write the book. I'm sorry to say, but I think they need to go back to the drawing boards with this book. What a waste of money.
