Mark Fitzgerald has spent most of his life helping photographers to get the most from their photos. He cut his photographic teeth in the professional photolab business when digital photography was only a dream. In 1999, as the possibilities of digital began to emerge, Mark left the lab business and devoted two years to exploring everything digital. One of the first steps on that journey was learning to use the original version of Photoshop Elements to edit photos from his new 1.3 MP digital camera.

Today, Mark is an Adobe Certified Photoshop expert who specializes in helping photographers; ranging from established professionals — to people who are just finding their passion for photography. Mark has taught countless photographers how to smooth out their workflows through private training, classes, and workshops. He and his wife Julia (with their three dogs, Ruby, Hazel, and Sam) live in Portland, Oregon, where Mark owns a consulting business, The Digital Darkroom.
