Acknowledgments

There are too many people to thank, and all of them deserve my gratitude. But, for the sake of brevity, I will restrict myself to just a few.

I’d have nothing to write about had it not been for Thomas Knoll and the many people who are and have been on the Photoshop team. I thank them heartily for providing this marvelous instrument to play.

To Liz Atteberry and the others who encouraged my teaching over the years, I owe tremendous thanks. Teaching is what I love to do most and I’m forever grateful you gave me the chance to do it.

My Photoshop students over these decades have kept me inspired and, with their awesome questions, have allowed me to explore this application’s deep secrets. To all of you, thanks.

To the Rocky Nook crew, especially editor Jocelyn Howell, I thank you for being so fabulous to work with. It’s a great partnership!

No greater inspiration is there than Carla Fraga, my wife. And no greater thanks are owed to anyone.
