About Classroom in a Book

Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Classroom in a Book® is part of the official training series for Adobe graphics and publishing software developed by experts at Adobe Systems. The lessons are designed to let you learn at your own pace. If you’re new to Adobe Photoshop or ImageReady, you’ll learn the fundamental concepts and features you’ll need to master the programs. And if you’ve been using Adobe Photoshop or ImageReady for a while, you’ll find that Classroom in a Book teaches many advanced features, including tips and techniques for using the latest version of these applications and for preparing images for the Web.

The lessons in this edition include new information on using the File Browser, defining custom workspaces, and working with the powerful new painting engine. In addition, existing lessons have been updated to incorporate new commands and tools, such as the new healing brush, patch tool, and pattern maker.

Although each lesson provides step-by-step instructions for creating a specific project, there’s room for exploration and experimentation. You can follow the book from start to finish or do only the lessons that correspond to your interests and needs. Each lesson concludes with a review section summarizing what you’ve covered.
