The book is out now! I just put it on my wish list at Barnes & Noble. I'm waiting on my shipment of PS 7.
Five Stars on amazon.com
I've been writing books on Photoshop since 1994 and version 2.5, and many of you already know me, but, hey, it's the Holidays, I've got a book out on version 7, and Stu told me it was okay to shill it on this thread
!
So far, we've got fourteen reviews and five stars on amazon.com for the book, a personal first, so my wife (and co-author) and I feel it's definitely worth your while to check this title out.
"Inside Adobe Photoshop 7" is both an expansion and departure from my previous books. It was impossible to write the whole thing by myself, so I asked some industry leaders and friends to help me out. We also structured the book to work on a "hub system". The "core" is a reference section (new to our book) and it expands into select fields such as "Photoshop for the Photographer", "Photoshop for the Web designer", and it's pretty darned comprehensive (it ought to be at over 1,000 pages!).
Here's a link for buying it:

If you pick it up over the typically slow Holidays (okay, I'm really shilling here), I think you'll have as much fun reading it as we did writing it.
Marry Christmas and Happy Hanukah to one and All,
Gare

Mark-How's about my own area?
I'm only just discovering Mark's invaluable site here. I had some personal problems right after doing the 7 book, and I'm attempting to moderate the 3D forum AND have a life and look for work (authors are out of work, more or less, between books...at least I am!).
But being the masochist I am, how about if I post a tutorial a la the "Inside 7" book here, once a month, in Acrobat format, with resource files, and then we discuss everyone's work?
BOY, am I stretching!
Oh, yes...
1.) There will be no limited edition book of Photoshop 7. The publisher cannot justify the expense.
2.) I might very well ask Stu to help out on the next book. Already, as you folks can see, Dave Huss has come over from Photo-Paint (at least, for the book), and Robert Stanley did my book instead of his usual & excellent "Complete Idiot's Guide".
Already, I have a soft offer from one of the most talented Photoshoppists in France for the next book, so why not New Zealand? Make it an international consortium!
Happy, happy, all---

Hi Gary,
I welcomed you already in your other thread but I had the urge to add that you do a great job by moderating the 3D forum. It was quiet in there 2 or 3 months ago, until you decided to do something about it and since then the whole forum has come alive. Well done Gary
After you brought Cool 3D Studio under the attention I had to try it too and before I knew it I had a new avatar

Welcome aboard Gary
I ordered the book a few days ago along with some others by someone else (can't remember who or what I ordered now but there was 3 in total), thought I deserved a Chrisy present too (yeah I have to buy my own ha ha ha) - so I guess I will see them all in about 6 weeks [sleepy] unfortunately that is just how long it takes to get here in Oz land (at least the inside 6 book took that long - guessing it would be the same).
I like to buy books with CD's as these always have examples on them so that I can see what I am reading - tremendously helpfull! I always end up getting them thru the Amazon site ........ having said that I bought my first book from your site - you were offering a discount so I took advantage of that
I like the idea of the tutes too - would be helpfull for us to go through them together one at a time [:I

I want to print quality pictures!
Hello DV8!
Andito na me. Hmmmm okay. So what is the difference between using Photoshop and Paintshop Pro? How about Corel? My problem is that I want to be able to print quality pictures but it just came out not as great as I see it on my monitor? What could be the problem?
I have the latest printer in Epson. My digicam is adjusted to resolution of 2400 (whatever that is [confused] but it's the highest). And I use the program Printshop.
Is there something that I am missing out? HELP!

Hi doll_75. I'll have to get my thoughts and system in place so I can answer your question.
For the meantime, post your question in the OTHER INTEREST thread so others can helpout as well. Your question falls into this category. I'll answer it there.

Doll_75,
I don't use Paintshop Pro. I wouldn't know how to compare that with Photoshop. But Photoshop is the leading standard application for image manipulation and graphic rendering. Used by professional designers, there are myriads of controls unique to the program and web tools for optimizing and previewing images as well as GIF animation by ImageReady, a sister program included in the package.
Currently at version 7, PS is a bitmap oriented program. This means images are generated by pixels thus the image shapes are anti-alaised (softened around the edges). It is unlike Corel, which is a vector application. In simple terms, this means you can create an object and resize it any size you like yet no visual content is lost but lines or edges are jagged. Not like a bitmap, when resized, loses pixel data. Take note - these are not disadvantages to the programs.
I use both PS and Corel in tandem. I find it easier and more accurate to create shapes in Corel (considering I've used it since v1 and PS wasn't out yet). I import and manipulate them further in PS. I sometimes use Corel entirely ( [shhh], the guys here may not like it
). But that depends on the job at hand.
But when it comes to image manipulations; texture mapping; rich finite or complex color fills; a more realistic looking image or creation - Photoshop is the piece de resistance.
