Photoshop 7 Image Effects

Summary: Good outside-the-box design book
Review: I am a regular reader of Scott Kelby's and Jack Davis's Photoshop books. So when I came across Kim's Image Effects title I was not sure if the content would hold any interest, but it did. And it did it quite well.

The material covered has more of a Gen-X flavor than that of Kelby or Davis. But it is explained in the same easy-to-follow way. It's definitely worth picking up. It adds an outside-the-box method of design to Photoshop work.

Summary: Great for getting the creative juices flowing
Review: I found this book to have some useful projects most of which can be used in the real world. Each project is laid out in a simple, easy to follow format and each concentrate on a seperate feature of Photoshop. It is great for intermediate and advanced users who need to get the creative juices flowing again but beware beginners you are expected to know the interface in order to get through the projects. I found the book to be informative and unique as it offers some projects you normally don't come across in other Photoshop books.
