Overview

This book is specific to the Elements version of Photoshop ... This is not just another Photoshop Book ...

Author Information

So who is this John Watts character, and why should I listen to him? An excellent question! First, a wee bit about me: I am 55 years old, and I'm a blessed man. I am married and still madly in love with my bride, Marilyn, and we have three great daughters: Jenna (married to Marcus, with a baby on the way), Cassie (husband Matt and my grandkids Aidan and Cambria), and Vickie (a musician/songwriter extraordinaire). Although I'm originally from Houston and the Kansas City area, I've lived in the San Diego area for over 33 years. In addition to my daytime job, I'm also a drummer in a Southern Gospel/Country rock band that travels frequently and plays almost every weekend. I also love the outdoors, and my Utopia is the Sierra Nevada mountain range, where I get to occasionally dabble in photography. I have been privileged over the last 27+ years to work in partnership with some of the world's finest photographers. I also have a knack for making superior color prints for these photographers, as well as many serious amateurs. I've now taken that expertise and applied it to the world of Digital Imaging Education. It's safe to say that I've learned a few things over the years... So, the question: Why should you listen to me? The same reason that you listen to your Doctor: Training and Experience. Like your Doc, I've learned what generally works and what doesn't. Also, like your doc, I'm constantly learning new things, and listening to new ideas (A Doctor practices medicine, after all!) - hence, this book. It is safe to say that the tools I used 27+ years ago are NOT the same tools I use now. At my core, I'm a custom photographic printer. As I am using newer and more innovative tools and methods to achieve the desired printed result, I'm not only willing to share what I know, but willing to learn from you, also. It's an axiom that you can't teach an old dog new tricks - It's also a lie! I'm constantly learning new things everyday! Let's share these tricks together... Cheers, John: -)
