About the Authors
Deke McClelland. Born near Verona in 1511, he was once the most popular
portrait painter in all of Florence. His career came to a grinding halt a few
centuries later with the advent of photography. Broken, penniless, and deeply
resentful, Deke dedicated his energies to the development of a pathogen so insidious
that it would one day contaminate each and every photograph on the planet. Code
named the Pernicious Instrument of eXtreme EviL (or “pixel” for
short), Deke smuggled his terrible creation into The New World and set it free.
When his invention turned out to help rather than hurt photography, he went
quite mad. He now inflicts his revenge by writing educational books and hosting
training videos.
His most sinister books are the award-winning Photoshop CS2 Bible and
Photoshop CS2 Bible, Professional Edition, now in their 12th year with
more copies in print than any other guides on computer graphics. Other subversive
titles include Photoshop CS For Dummies and Photoshop Elements For
Dummies (both Wiley Publishing, Inc.).
Laurie Ulrich Fuller. An artist through heredity and education, a teacher
by nature, and a writer since she was old enough to pick up a crayon, Laurie
Ulrich Fuller is a graphic artist, computer trainer, and the author and co-author
of more than 25 books on computers, software, and the Web. Laurie has written
hundreds of training manuals for universities and corporate training centers,
and in the past 15 years, she’s personally trained thousands of people
to make more creative and effective use of their computers. Her classroom has
recently expanded to include total strangers she’ll never lay eyes on
— through CD-based training products available from both Total Training
and VTC.

A must have for the novice and the advanced user!
Don't let the lack of full color or the low price discourage you. This is THE ONLY book you need to master PS CS2. I highly reccomend this book for an affordable way to learn the ins and outs of this powerfull program. The authors do an amazing job of making advanced techniques approachable, and injecting humor and fin to this manual.
