Summary: great book to go with even greater software
Review: I bought Creator 7 when I decided to start storing my grandmother's photos on CD and I bought this book on a whim to help me. Now I do alot more with Creator and this book has helped me figure it out. Hopefully it will help more people than me.

Summary: Good Introduction to Media Processing
Review: This book starts with three basic assumptions:

First it presumes that you have or can acquire some sort of digital media which may be audio, photos, or video.

Second, it presumes that you have some kind of computer running Windows 2000 or XP, and the capability to record on CD's or better yet DVD's.

Third, there is the presumption that you want to take the digital media you have, alter it, modify it, combine it with other data, and produce some kind of media.

Most of the book is of tutorial format, that is, it leads you through various projects using a step-by-step approach. All of the major components of the Creator package are discussed. And then in the standard Part of Tens section that is common to most For Dummies books, this is turned around just a bit by looking at each of the ten components that make up the package to give you a better starting point when you have a project in mind.
