their mom is weird to get excited about technology.

And to my fantastic parents, who just know .

Acknowledgments

I always thought authors wrote books. In reality it takes a talented and devoted team.

Everyone at Sybex has contributed to this book. Dan Brodnitz offered encouragement;

Erica Yee skillfully devised a publishing schedule that worked; Rodney Koeneke fol-

lowed the coupon trail; the technical editors, Howard Goldstein and Tandika Star, made

the work accurate; Franz Baumhackl and Kim Wimpsett made the pieces fit; and Kate

Kaminski turned my rough sketches into works of art. Thanks to Bonnie Bills for going

out on a limb to embrace a new concept. And most of all, a really big thank you to my

virtual coauthor Mariann Barsolo, who organized my writing and my thought processes.

Many thanks to all the people at various companies who spent hours answering

my technical questions on hardware: my friend Anna Jen of Maxtor; Peggy Daniel of

Nikon; Mark Mehall, Bill Lindsay, and Jim McCartney of Wacom; Scott Heath and

John Lamb of Canon; Sandy Gramley and Frank Fellows of HP; Ann Johnson of Porter

Novelli for HP; Reed Hecht, Andreas Goehring, Monica Morita, Fabia Ochoa, Farideh

Sherbaf, John Quinones, and Jack Duchinsky of Epson; Mary Ann Whitlock and Michael

Ford of Microtek; Sergio Vera and Melody Chalaban of Belkin; Mickey Lass and Tom

Kelley of PhotoWorks; Bob Howes of Lineco; Drew Hendrix of Red River Papers; Gregory

Schern of Moab Papers; Stephanie Robey of PhotoSpin; Liz Quinlisk, Sandra Sumski, and

Paul Hultgren of GretagMacbeth; Dave Klenske of Lexar; Mike Wong of SanDisk; Brian

Twede of Claudia’s ClipArt; and Mark Seastrand of Creating Keepsakes . Special thanks to

Robin Williams for her personal encouragement, for her friendship, and for her many

books that consolidate what I learned long ago in art school.

I’d also like to thank Chris and Rosario Cooper for conveniently getting married

just when I needed to take photographs, as well as my friends Joyce, Amber, Matthew,

Amy, and Olivia Cooper for allowing me to use photos of them for this book, and

thanks to Nancy Gabriel for the wonderful shots of Matt. Thank you to Leigh Redfern

for the great red-eye snapshot and to Michael Salas for the photograph of Nathalie.

Many thanks to Jean-Marc and Nathalie Corredor, and Lee, Monette, Rick,

Beth, Eric, and Colette Kent who not only allowed me to work with photos of them but

gave me some of their photographic work for the book as well.

And the biggest thank you to Rick Redfern, the most knowledgeable pixel pres-

tidigitator of them all, for always being available to answer technical Photoshop, pho-

tography, and pixel questions at every resolution.

Foreword

I’m so excited to get my hands on this book! As founding editor of

Simple Scrapbooks magazine, I’m fully aware of the excitement surrounding digital photo-

graphy and what scrappers call computer-generated scrapbooks. I know that “digital”

is here to stay and that it’s going to change for the better the way I organize and share

my photos and celebrate and preserve my memories. But I have to be honest, I still don’t

get it. I mean, exactly where are my pictures? Do I need a new scanner? How do I cre-

ate these cool effects that I see? Let’s say I create a virtual layout—then what? I try and

share this lack of confidence with my tech-savvy friends and they say, “Oh come on, it’s

easy, just pick up some photo-editing software and start playing.” Easy, I say ... easy for

you. I’m not a dummy, so how come I feel like one?

Thank heavens for Lynette Kent. Lynette is a sought-after trainer with years of

professional experience helping people learn new technologies. Lynette knows digital

and what she wants most is to remove the “techie intimidation” factor and guide people

like me successfully through the maze of information, techniques, and acronyms sur-

rounding the use of cameras, scanners, printers, monitors, and other equipment. I first

met Lynette a couple of years ago at a scrapbooking event, where I had to squelch the

urge to invite her to my house for a weekend of one-on-one. I knew after a few

moments of encouraging conversation that there was hope for me. She didn’t talk down

or act as if I should know more than I do. She just listened and answered my questions.

Now, with her book, my dream of a one-on-one is a reality. I can literally take Lynette

and her knowledge and experience home with me.

I love that instead of offering a myriad of software options, Lynette is centering

her teaching on Photoshop Elements. Photoshop Elements is the number one consumer

photo-editing software. It’s got everything I need, from tools that enhance my photos to

intuitive options for categorizing and finding them—and Lynette brings it all to life.

You’ll rejoice with me in page after page of step-by-step instruction and special features.

I love the highlighted tips and notes and the fun recipe cards that I can pull out and

take with me. Suffice it to say, my days of feeling like a “digital dummy” are num-

bered—what a relief!
