Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® 2: Streamlining Your Digital Photography Process

Acknowledgements

Many people have contributed, both directly and indirectly, to my writing this book. In particular, my great buddy Charles (CAZ) Zimmerman provided invaluable personal advice and professional legal counsel on the project. Our discussions about all kinds of topics were a great help in working out my plans. Thanks a million, CAZ!

Monte Trumbull, also a close friend and fellow photographer, provided expert technical editing that helped guide the direction of the book in key areas andkept the content on track.

Thanks to the publishing group: Courtney Allen, Acquisitions Editor at Wiley, Project Editor Mimi Brodt; and content reviewers/testers Kurt Bowman, Jim Casteel, Gerry Goggins, Rand Herman and Kathy Pancoe, for a job well done.

My students have helped me immensely in their eagerness to learn Lightroom; much of the material in this book was refined through teaching it to them. Thanks especially to Ron Cooper, Tom Tenenbaum, Rik Williams, Jane Glenn and my good friend Jim Talaric.

Classes I've taught at Denver Darkroom and Illuminate Workshops in Denver have been a development ground for many of my Lightroom training materials. Efrain Cruz and his team have been a joy to work with, and I wish them all continued success. Thanks also to photograhers Grant Collier and Bret Edge for their collaboration in leading very successful workshops with me.

I owe a lot to Joe Bullard at Publication Design in Denver, Colorado and Larry Bird at Monterey Graphics in Torrance, California, ...
