2.0 out of 5 stars Not Many Solutions, October 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Paint Shop Pro 7 Solutions (Paperback)

Based on the descriptions in the publisher's Web site, it seemed that someone had written a book that would not devour precious pages on bad puns and instead focus on using PSP to do real world applications. I bought the book and after finishing half of it, I must say there are precious few photo solutions in it with much of the book devoted to drawing vector objects (when was the last time I needed to draw a pear?) or rehashing basic material that was already well covered in the user's manual. I was disappointed but if you want to learn how to draw shapes and such using the vector tools, then this book just might be your cup of tea.

3.0 out of 5 stars Can't recommend it, September 6, 2001

This review is from: Paint Shop Pro 7 Solutions (Paperback)

I've just browsed the book at a store (off-line) and decided not to buy it. The book covers almost everything, but it is too brief and shallow. It might be suitable for those who just starting to work with a photo editor and know nothing or little on the subject, but it is definitely not for a serious user, who needs a good book on PSP 7. This user still has to wait.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, March 25, 2003

This review is from: Paint Shop Pro 7 Solutions (Paperback)

I thought with the title 'PSP 7 Solutions' and from the despcription by the Amazon Editor, this book would finally teach me how to use PSP 7. I could not have been more wrong. I have PSP 5 and PSP 6 and wanted to learn 7 because of all the new wonderful things I could do with graphics. Didn't happen!

I make free web graphics for people to use on the interent and I wanted to learn to do some of the new 'fancy' things. I did not learn anything from this book and feel I wasted my money buying this book.

If all you are looking for is a book that describes each and every tool and panel in great detail ... buy this book ... but if you are looking for 'how to' do things ... forget it!
