Acknowledgments
Scott Kelby—There
just aren’t enough good things I can say about Scott Kelby. It was his first
Photoshop
Down & Dirty Tricks
book that lit up my creativity way back when, and now I am honored that he has the
confidence in me to carry on the name to a new generation of Photoshop creatives. It is unfair that so few
of us can experience the joy of working for such an awesome guy, who has the passion to share the knowl-
edge that has made him an inspiration to so many! Thank you Scott!
Mom and Mark—You
guys have always supported everything I ever did with great enthusiasm, and I’ve always
enjoyed our movie banter. We’ve all certainly seen life’s ups and downs, but we’ve always known how to make
the best of it and look ahead. Thank you for all you’ve done!
Dad and Sue—You
two were there when this all started nearly 20 years ago, when you dropped me off at
art school in Sarasota, Florida. It has since been one awesome journey, and I want to thank you for all your
help and encouragement along the way.
Shelley Giard—You
inspire me with your determination. You, Zane, Baleigh, and Brie were my cheering section
during this whole process and I can’t thank you enough.
Dave Moser—I
can always count on you to have a good military metaphor to fit any situation, and yet as silly
as they sound sometimes, you always get the point. Thanks for being a strong leader and great mentor. I, like
many others in the company, am quite comfortable knowing you are at the helm.
Felix Nelson—This
man is definitely one of the best digital artists on the planet, and I have always been a fan of
his work. Now, we talk movies and Photoshop, and that alone inspires ideas. Thanks for just being awesome!
The Photoshop Guys—I
most definitely have to give a shout out to my fellow Photoshop Guys: Matt Kloskowski,
Rafael “RC” Concepcion, Dave Cross, and Pete Collins. You guys are the reason it is fun to come to work every
day. Thank you Matt for being a great leader and being the glue of the team. RC, remember the old
Layers TV
days? Ah, good times! Glad we are able to work together. You are wealth of knowledge. I can always count
on Dave Cross to be the rational one of the bunch. Thanks to you for being a good friend and great mentor.
Pete, since you just started recently, you get mentioned merely by association, but I’m glad you’re here!
Bert Monroy—Having
been a huge fan of Bert’s work, I never thought I would meet him, and we have since
become good friends. You are truly an inspiration and I would not be where I am today without your teachings.
Oh, and I am actually in Bert’s
Times Square
painting, as well. How cool is that?
Cindy Snyder & Kim Doty—You
guys are the real deal. This being my first book, I have only heard about what it
is like doing a book with you guys. Now I can see that I cannot think of anyone else I would want to do a book
with. You guys are solid pros!
Jessica Maldonado—Your
talents and expertise have made this book look as cool as it could possibly be, from
cover to cover. Thanks for all your hard work and design genius!
Adobe Systems, Inc.—To
my good friends at Adobe: Zorana Gee, Russell Brown, and Pete Falco, to name a few.
So glad that I have gotten to know all of you, and glad for all the work we have done together over the years.
iStockphoto—A
big thanks to all the folks over at iStockphoto for all their help, especially Brenda Bazylewski
for providing me with everything I needed to create the dazzling images you see throughout the book.
New Riders & Peachpit Press—A
big thanks to the entire gang over at Peachpit Press: Ted Waitt, Sara Jane
Todd, Gary-Paul Prince, and Scott Cowlin. You guys are the ones that make learning accessible and fun! Keep
up all the good work and thank you for this opportunity.
Alicen Rehnert—You
have become a treasured friend, and I knew I could always count on you when I needed
a favor. You were always helpful when I was on the seminar tour, and always had a solution for any problem,
even when 1,000 miles away.
Tomasz Opasinski—I
have always admired your body of work, both commercial and personal. I thank you for
letting me share some of your magic within the pages of this book.
Lastly, a big thanks to the late Steve Jobs. The impact he has made on my career is profound, and I feel
fortunate that I was able to experience the impact he had on our world. You were truly a renaissance man.
