Grab These Proven Tips, Tools And Techniques To Master Photoshop And Create Better Scans, Images And Prints In Less Time
Let's face it. Photoshop is considered the industry standard of image manipulation programs. But it's a bear to use if you don't know how. And while the manuals tell you how to do it technically, they're often written by geeks who don't know how to speak to the user.

In fact, I often wondered whether the people who write the manuals ever actually use the program to create a professional image. They seem to lack the "real world," down and dirty, get-things-done techniques that professionals actually use.
Example: What's the Number 1 mistake most Photoshop users make that can easily ruin virtually every image they work on? I'll let you know in just a minute. But before we go any further, why should you listen to me?
My name is Nathan Segal. If you've been reading computer graphics magazines or ezines you have probably seen my name. I've spent the last 8-1/2 years working as an Artist and Writer. I've been active as a Digital Artist for 10 years and way back in 1988 I worked as a Camera Operator in what was known as the Multi-Image industry (a precursor to multimedia as it's known today).

Over the years I've published 322 articles and 2 books on the subject of computer graphics and photography. I was the main contributing Writer to Streaming Media World, where I wrote over 111 articles over a 16 month period.

Currently, I'm an Associate Editor at WebReference.com, a site that draws between 150-175,000 page views each day.

The topics I've covered include Software Reviews, Tutorials, Tips and Tricks, Features, Profiles and Investigative Reporting. I create my own illustrations, photographs and screen shots.

In 1996, I entered into a collaborative effort with 3 photographers and one designer. Together, we created 296 digital images for stock photography catalogs.

A sampling of my clients are Visual Convergence, Web Developer, Photo Techniques, Mac Design, Layers Magazine, Photoshop User, Streaming Media World, WebReference.com and Rangefinder.

Nathan Segal has written for us (Rangefinder Magazine) numerous times in the past; always on technical matters and always with clarity and a clear understanding of the material. His new work, Photoshop Companion, is his best work to date.
I have digested many undigestible works on Photoshop; some so obscure they could have been discussing nuclear physics for all I could tell.

This work is different. It has Segal's down to earth style and clear understanding of the material. It makes Photoshop more friendly, approachable and understandable. It's a must-read for any serious student of Adobe Photoshop.
