About the Author
Electronic publishing pioneer Deke McClelland is a popular lecturer on Adobe
Photoshop and the larger realm of computer graphics and design. He has hosted
the interactive "Video Workshop" CD that shipped with Photoshop Versions
7, CS, and CS2, as well as hundreds of hours of tutorial-style video training
for industry leaders lynda.com and Total Training. In addition to his video
work, Deke has written 84 books translated into 24 languages, with more than
4 million copies in print.
One of the most award-winning writers in the technology market, Deke received
the Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Computer Book in 1989. Since then, he has
garnered more than 20 honors, including seven independent citations from the
Computer Press Association. In 2002, he was inducted into the Photoshop Hall
of Fame.
In 2004 Deke created the One-on-One book series, which uses video, step-by-step
exercises, and hundreds of full-color illustrations to provide readers with
the closest thing possible to private instruction from a recognized expert.
These ambitious, self-paced guides include the bestselling Adobe Photoshop CS2

vanguard online training company lynda.com to bring the One-on-One training

Preview, the first series available for the public beta of Photoshop CS3. In
addition to the full 20-plus hour Photoshop CS3 One-on-One, his plans include
Illustrator One-on-One and InDesign One-on-One. Among Dekes current lynda.com
