Acknowledgments

I would like to thank the great team of editors at Sams Publishing who have made writing this book a truly amazing experience for me: Matt Purcell, Jon Steever, Adam Pratt, Megan Wade, and Betsy Brown. Special thanks to Megan for her generous and helpful editorial contributions and to Betsy for her patience and guidance throughout the writing of this book.

This book would not have been possible without the help of Steve Samson. He was my mentor, my sounding board, and the one who talked me into taking that stupid ice fishing class. I would also like to thank Ted and Jennifer Alspach for all their help and support. Their knowledge of everything Adobe and Macintosh helped tremendously.
