Praise for the Photographer’s Photoshop Companion

“The book is EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!! I just sent an email to the Minnesota Valley people extolling its virtues. You really have a great way of making things like layers understandable, and your coverage of smart objects is one of the best I’ve read. I’ve got a couple people that’ll be really tickled with the infrared section. I told them its like having you handy, except better ’cause you can play with the exercises at 2 a.m.”

“Mark is a fantastic teacher, both in video and in print. I have both CS2 and CS3 ebooks and would recommend that if you don’t have the CS3 book, you go ahead and upgrade—just the coverage of the new Bridge and Camera Raw will make it more than worthwhile. Mark may not be as well noted as some other authors out there, but I sure have learned a lot more from him than any other author.”

“Your CS3 ebook is tremendous. I am a relative newbie to Photoshop CS3 but am treating it like a college course—lots of studying and reading. I own 3 other books on CS3. Yours is the best of the lot, and I haven’t even scratched the surface given all that is included.”

“I first purchased Chapter 5 and was so pleased with it that I purchased the whole ebook. After 25 years of teaching, I retired. If my judgment is the least bit valid, I’d say your book would make a great home study course. I’m certainly going to recommend it to my photo friends.”
