Acknowledgments

Several people have played an important role in this book coming to life:

• Ron Hansen and Michael Davidson, who gave me my first job teaching Adobe Photoshop at the Art Institute of Washington.

• Ben Kozuch, who believed in me enough to let me teach Photoshop to a room full of media professionals.

• Scott Kelby and the other instructors and staff of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals for their inspiration and support.

• Susan Rimerman for challenging me to write the best book possible. Anne Marie Walker and Wayne Palmer for guiding me through the process and fixing my flaws.

• To James Ball, Jim Tierney, and Abba Shapiro, thank you for your generous gift of photos.

• To my many students through the years, thanks ...
