As the product manager for Expression Media, the author's knowledge is unsurpassed--he is the most authoritative voice on the product.
Expression Media is the asset management tool for the entire Expression Studio suite of applications, which also includes Expression Design, Expression Blend, and Expression Web. With Expression Media users can catalog and organize all their digital assets for effortless retrieval and presentation. The book covers workflow efficiency and automation, batch processing media, scripting, customizing workspaces, creating and then viewing media in catalogs, reviewing and comparing media, metadata and tagging, and much more. It also shows how to impress audiences with slideshows, videos, and Web galleries. All of this is taught by leading authority Shayne Bowman who has been working as an evangelist on the product for years. As with all Visual QuickStart Guides, step-by-step task-based instructions, with plenty of screen shots along the way, make learning quick and easy. Microsoft is making a big splash with Expression, which will not only be popular with designers and developers but also within big corporations who are already using Micrsoft Vist and looking for Web and design tools that will fit in seamlessly with their workflow.
