Editorial Reviews

Osborne's new "No Nonsense" series targets the crowded "just the basics" beginners market. These three entries cover topics with step-by-step, task-based chapters; brief sidebars give tips and added information without interrupting the flow. Elements explains the use of each basic tool in this entry-level graphics software and provides the best options for novices to achieve consistently good-looking images. Clear instructions and targeted screenshots aid understanding. For both PC users making the switch and Mac users accustomed to an older OS, Jaguar covers the most popular uses of OS X. Chapters discuss the basics, from navigating through files and folders, to e-mail and web browsing, to movie and image editing. Both Jaguar and XP contain helpful glossaries that define common terms. XP's writing style is somewhat more awkward than those of the other two, but the content is good, and directions are fairly easy to follow. Appendixes list keyboard shortcuts and a few random but useful web sites. These affordable introductory guides are solid additions to any public library, in conjunction with more comprehensive titles. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
