Description: Photoshop 7 is the professional image-editing standard. With tools and output options to allow you to produce the highest quality images for print, the Web, and anywhere else. It's a complex tool, and with such complexity and freedom come questions: how, where, why?

Photoshop 7 Zero to Hero, cuts to the chase, you'll quickly learn how to do professional-quality photo retouching, prepare your work for print, or simply use its filters and effects to create whatever you desire. Pro-standard output such as magazine covers and optimized Web graphics are taught clearly and quickly.

Whether you've never used an image manipulation program before, or this is just your first encounter with Photoshop, this book will take you further, faster.

Zero to Hero is more than a catchy slogan and an opportunity for puns and graphical representations of tights, capes, and phone booths. It's a style of learning designed by friends of ED to reach beyond dry technical explanations and dusty old authors who don't know how it is for real users and wouldn't know good design if it slapped them round the face with a wet fish.

With a Zero to Hero book you can choose how you learn. You can choose to learn everything you need to know about Adobe Photoshop 7 by working through the first section of the book from start to finish. Alternatively you can dive straight in to the inspirational 'Hero' chapters and refer back as and when you need. Then later, when you're a hero yourself, the book is easily used as a reference tool.

And when you're done you'll be ready to wear your underwear on the outside, metaphorically speaking of course.

And if you get stuck, our support heroes are just an e-mail away. With all books from friends of ED - our support is fast, friendly and free. All friends of ED authors help with the support on their books, and will either directly e-mail people with answers, or send their response to an editor to pass on.

Information and Inspiration. Speed and Support. We'll not only unlock the toolset for you, we'll feed your imagination and that's a promise. So, what are you waiting for?
