Take the case of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Web Design: Even though the popular digital imaging program is geared toward designers of all types (graphics, print, Web), this book that covers it isn't. Instead, it's written just for you--the Web site designer who wants to get answers to Web-related Photoshop questions without wading through a lot of explanations that simply don't apply.

Through clear, direct text and a gorgeous four-color layout, this volume both instructs and inspires-Qin the process delivering all of the information you need to produce better-organized, faster-loading Web sites. As you follow along with best-selling author Michael Baumgardt, you'll learn how to create and optimize Web graphics, produce GIF animations, manage Web colors, and more. You'll also learn about all that's new in Photoshop 7: an enhanced Rollover palette to manage Web page rollovers, animations, and image maps more easily; Web output enhancements to easily apply transparency to Web page elements; and the new "selected" rollover state for creating more sophisticated Web site navigation bars without hand-coding--and these are just the tip of the iceberg. Whatever your level of experience, if you're ready to take on Web design with Photoshop 7, this is the book for
