Adobe Photoshop 7 One-Click Wow! is a unique CD-ROM/book package from Adobe Press that features hundreds of instant, one-click makeovers you can apply to your creations, making it an indispensable extension to Photoshop 7. You can think of this inspiring collection of Layer Styles and other "one-click" solutions on the CD-ROM as the equivalent of getting hundreds of beautiful and practical filter effects. However, these makeovers are much more powerful than filter effects because you can apply them instantly to graphics, type, and photos, yet still change the graphics or the type after they've been applied. And these Layer Styles don't permanently alter the images to which they're applied like filter effects do. 
Veteran authors Jack Davis and Linnea Dayton have added many new Layer Styles to the Photoshop 7 One-Click Wow! CD-ROM, in addition to those featured in their best-selling Photoshop 6 Wow! Book. Also included on the CD-ROM are dynamic brushes and tool presets for Photoshop 7, as well as gradients and patterns you can use for Fill layers and textures. The book part of the package explains everything you need to know to work with Photoshop's powerful Layer Styles function in just 96 short pages, including a 5-page step-by-step tutorial, as well as a catalog of outstanding full-cover examples of how the Wow! Layer Styles and other effects look when they're applied. Whether you're a photographer, graphic designer, or illustrator, Adobe Photoshop 7 One-Click Wow! will help you transform your photos, type, or graphics instantly!.
