A word of caution: Since I’m making each chapter available upon completion, some topics have references to topics located in other, possibly not-yet-available chapters. I’m truly excited about releasing each chapter as it’s completed and thank you for your patience.
Special notes: The Complete Photographer’s Photoshop CS4 Companion eBook will be released as a download in April or May 2009 for $39.95. In the meantime, I am releasing each chapter in the form of a Mini-eBook for $6.95. Although individual chapters ultimately cost more, here are a couple of reasons to purchase as you go: 1) Immediate access to the information. 2) The option to purchase only the chapters that are useful to you.
If you are having trouble viewing this ebook, please consider downloading the latest version of Adobe’s free PDF reader, available for both Mac and PC. I find that this resolves the vast majority of problems that my readers encounter. Download Adobe Reader – Version 9
Spring is coming!
