Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This manual provides easy to follow, step-by-step instruction in the use of various graphic, animation and video production software for the Commodore Amiga personal computer. The manual assumes that the user knows nothing about computers so each step and its consequences are explained completely from turning on the computer to saving a disk and printing the screen image. Many excellent programs have been designed for the Amiga which are compatible with each other sharing the IFF format. They may be used to create art by computer without prior computer experience or any knowledge of programming. This manual introduces some of these programs and present applications for their use. In addition various hardware peripherals are described which allow multi-media and video production. The book should be used with the various programs operating as their own illustrations on the monitor screen. The final chapter is a gallery of computer generated images.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dated!Approach transferable to newer software. Well written., March 6, 1997
By A Customer
Well written for its time (1989). Software now obviously is better. If you have Amiga 1000/2000 and Deluxepaint II, GraphiCraftAegis Images/Aegis Animator, Digi-paint, and Deluxe Video Construction Set. Hardware:Digit-View mentioned. This book is for you. Font type retards reading flow of eye. I hate the font(just like the one this one is in.) Paper fair. Binding fair. HOWEVER, Mr Oakes is very organized, easy to follow and paragraph transition is smooth (just the font does not easily flow). Mr Oakes if you're still around writting books. I'd like to see some more current books written by you. Perhaps on LightWave 3D v 5+ You'd be fanastic. Choose a better physical book binding, paper and type of font, please. Thanks Mr. Oakes
