Amazon.com Review
If you use Microsoft FrontPage or Microsoft Visual InterDev, you've come across the image editor, Image Composer, included with those products. In Wild Web Graphics with Microsoft Image Composer, author David Karlins teaches you how to produce Web graphics using this new package. The full-color book is filled with clear explanations and illustrations, making the package that much easier to learn. Karlins writes about the essentials of Image Composer and explains how to create, resize, rotate, and otherwise manipulate sprites (the graphic images comprising an image); create image maps; and work with the package's Color Picker, Color Lift Wand, and Custom Palettes. Then he explains how to save your files, even selected sprites, in .GIF and .JPG formats; create graphical text; and create special artistic effects. The Image Composer Gallery at the back of the book features various Web-site designers' tips on using Image Composer. You can access images, fills, and palettes at a Web site produced by the book's publisher, Que Corp.

A MUST HAVE!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wild Web Graphics With Microsoft Image Composer (Paperback)
I am a Web designer by trade and I found this book to be an excellent resource. Buttons, backgrounds, icons--you name it and there are step-by-step instructions. This book is filled to overflowing with useful (and cool!) Image Composer tips and tricks.

He converted me from Paint Shop Pro!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wild Web Graphics With Microsoft Image Composer (Paperback)
Mr. Karlin's publication should be the example for the type of reference that web site developers of all skill levels crave. He was direct in his explanations, specific with his demonstrations, and used a friendly tone throughout the book. I had been using Paint Shop Pro for some time, and found that MIC was even easier! No credit Microsoft, I swear by MIC, and will support every written effort put forth by this author...you should too
