These are computer books, which means they're obsolete within a year or so of publication. Aside from the recently published title on Adobe Photoshop 7, all are out of print.

Photo Manipulation: Fast Solutions for Hands-On Web Design

This is an introductory guide to Adobe Photoshop with a focus on Web design. It was the Graphic Design Book Club's main selection for October 2002. My thanks to the good folks at Rockport for giving me this opportunity, and to Adobe Systems' Photoshop team for providing a pre-release version of the software.

Color Image Editing on the PC

Micro Publishing Press, 1993

My first exclusive byline (even though I wrote the vast majority of the other books). Unfortunately, I had to pick ZSoft's PhotoFinish as the focal point for the book, not knowing that the program--and vendor--were about to meet their demise.
