More About the Author

I am an unconventional geek. I like learning to use computers and software to get projects done, not for the pleasure of playing with a keyboard or knowing all there is to know about an application. The books I write are intended to get people started. They do not cover every possible option, but rather step the reader through the basics in simplified projects so he or she can understand how the software works. People learn by doing not by reading about software. Once the reader has these steps figured out, learning more for a specific project becomes a matter of trial and error or finding a video or another book showing that specific project. As an artist and photographer, I just love Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom because I can create so many different images just by experimenting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Learning Tool, April 19, 2006
This review is from: Photoshop CS2 : Top 100 Simplified Tips & Tricks (Paperback)
Find exactly what you need to do in Photoshop and follow the easy illustrated steps. There is no need to read the book, got a difficult project, look it up and it is finished in no time at all. This book contains tips & tricks used by Photoshop Pros worldwide.

I purchased three of these books (for myself and two friends). Lynette Kent has an easy to follow writing style. I look forward to new books by her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Secrets We Don't Want People to Know About, January 19, 2006
By 
This review is from: Photoshop CS2 : Top 100 Simplified Tips & Tricks (Paperback)
As a Photoshop User and Printmaker, this book gives away a lot of secrets that most photographers do not want the general public to know. Three quick examples come to mind. # 80 - Paint a Digital Watercolor, # 85 - Give a Photo an Artistic Edge, and #89 - Make a Photo Look Like a Gallery Print. Luckily, I have told my clients that I created these effects with the computer. I can sleep at night knowing that my clients were aware of this. Woe to the photographer who charged an outrageous fee and did not tell his client that these were relatively easy to perform with Photoshop. I also learned how to create a very cool shadow with # 69. Thanks, Lynette!
