About the Author

He is the author of Take Control of Your Digital Photos and Apple Watch: A Take Control Crash Course, among many other books. He believes there’s never enough coffee and does his best to test that theory.
Acknowledgments
Take Control Publisher Joe Kissell patiently listened in near–real-time as I realized that Lightroom CC deserved its own title, and he and Morgen Jahnke threw their support (and time, and effort, and karma) behind it when we decided to make it happen on a tight schedule.
Kelly Turner continues to be one of the best editors I’ve worked with, massaging my words with craft and skill.
I’ve had the great pleasure of being involved with Take Control since its inception, and I can’t over-stress my appreciation for Adam and Tonya Engst as publishers, editors, and friends.
My thanks also go out to the good folks at Adobe who helped me get access to the software long before it was released, including Terri Stone, Laura Kersell, Sharad Mangalick, and Benjamin Warde.
And no project is complete without the support of my wife, Kimberly, and my daughter, Ellie.
Shameless Plug
I produce a lot of creative material—something I’m honored to be able to do—including photos, books for Take Control and Peachpit Press, and articles for Macworld, the Seattle Times, DPReview, iMore, and other outlets.
