Reviews of PS7 version: <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0240516907/104-1753435- 2691108?v=glance> Since posting that, I have purchased the version 7 book and am rereading it. It is truly an excellent book - the enclosed CD has some fantastic tutorials on it in the form of quicktime movies illustrating a whole load of Photoshop work, with a voice track by the author. One thing I had neglected is the File Browser - I had no idea how good it was, and how much better than Canon's Image Browser (which I had been using - no longer!)...
