Create! The No Nonsense Guide to Photoshop Elements 2

Kate Bodenmiller still owns a Mac Se II, which she keeps in a box in her basement. With the help of more current apple technology, she makes a living as a freelance graphic designer in the book publishing and consumer product fields. Greg Simsic is an artist living and working in New York City. He has penned 5 books on Photoshop and Illustrator including Photoshop Type Magic and www.photoshop.imageready - his latest. All of these books emphasise simple, clear direction - some say an antidote to his otherwise altogether aimless sojourns. He has worked in the graphics and design field for ten years.
