Thank youFrom Christopher Schmitt: I recall the first time I used Photoshop. While being filled with awe at such an amazing tool, I also had a head full of questions about the many Photoshop commands and features available. That’s why I want to thank Micah for helping to co-write this educational tool. Through his invaluable contributions, we have created a truly wonderful educational tool to eliminate those types of questions for new users as well as old. I’m thankful for the steering by David Fugate at Waterside as well as the hard work and contributions from Scott Amerman, Sharon Cox, and Romana Pruitt. Their support helped guide the book to what you see in your hands now. A special thanks to Mat, Brook, and Tim at Gen X Images for their support and stock photo contribu￾tions. It’s always great to have excellent source material when demonstrating a complex application like Photoshop. Thanks, too, to Richard Grillotti (www.rg.org) for donating digital photographs so I could work on the Camera Raw task as well some fresh new images for a few of the filter pages. And for helping me to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground, a special thanks to Dee Lalley, Dave and Margot Schmitt, and the rest of my family. Thank you! vi Acknowledgments
