I HAVE MANY PEOPLE TO THANK. Publishing this book was a team effort from start to finish.

Thanks to David Fugate, my agent and the founder of LaunchBooks Literary Agency. Thank you for your tireless efforts, wisdom, expertise, and friendship!

Many thanks to all the great people I met and worked with at Course Technology. Thank you to Heather Hurley for your wonderful support as you have shepherded the book through the process; Marta Justak, for your excellent editing and encouragement; Shawn Morningstar, for your great layouts; Mike Tanamachi, for your work on the cover; and Mark Hughes, for your marketing efforts.

Tremendous thanks go to Lori Davis, the technical reviewer.

Thank you to many people at the Corel Corporation. It’s been a pleasure using PaintShop Pro to show people how to restore and retouch their photos. Thank you for your support and help, which was consistent and enthusiastic since the beginning of this project. Special thanks go to Craig Copley (Senior Product Manager, Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X5), Greg Wood (Product Marketing Manager), and Sara Chesiuk (Public Relations Manager).

Thanks to my family for their support, ideas, encouragement, and love.
