Books
There's something unbeatable about the look and feel of a physical book with photographs printed on actual paper. They just seem a little more "real" than images on a computer monitor. There are technical reasons — limited color gamut, etc. — why this shouldn't be true... but it is true. The books here are those I've written (and photographed) myself or, in the case of the PDML Photo Annual, books I've edited. You can buy paperbacks and two kinds of hard cover of each book direct from the printer via the link at the bottom of each section. Or you can purchase paperback copies from me through the "Add to Cart" button below each cover art image on the right.
To purchase multiple copies, you can email me for discount pricing.

A Semester of Photoshop
10 x 8 inches, 240 Pages

The book is 240 pages long, structured from fundamental concepts in the earliest chapters, basic Photoshop tools and techniques in the middle and introduction to more advanced concepts toward the end.
• No longer available
Each chapter presents theoretical concepts by using a working example (starting with a dowloadable image you can get from this site) and step-by-step instructions that teach the use of the tools and techniques involved.
