Praise for Adobe Photoshop One-on-One“As a Photoshop author, I hate picking up a book and learning things I didn’t already know.
But Deke’s done it to me again! If you want to learn Photoshop CS5 from the ground up, look
no further.”
—Scott Kelby
President, National Association of Photoshop Professionals
“Deke McClelland has probably forgotten more than most people will ever know about Photoshop.
He’s insanely thorough (and just maybe insane), with a teaching style that’s both engaging and
practical. I think you’ll love what he has to offer.”
—John Nack
Principal Product Manager, Adobe Photoshop and Bridge, Adobe Systems
“In my past life as a Photoshop Product Manager, I continually turned to Deke and his books
to dive deeper into the product. Whether you’re a newbie or a hardened user, his One-on-One
series will speak to you. There’s nobody I would trust more to teach me Photoshop.”
—Karen Gauthier
Senior Product Manager, Adobe Photoshop (1998–2005)
Director, Product Management, Gridiron Software (current)
“Adobe Photoshop CS5 One-on-One is like having Deke next to you while you learn how to
organize, correct, retouch, and sharpen your photos. To me it’s crystal clear! Deke loves exploring
software to find the best techniques for improving images. And his easy-to-understand, cut-to-
the-chase explanations are invaluable.”
—Katrin Eismann
Chair, Digital Photography, School of Visual Arts
“It’s like having Deke right there with you, with all his friendly insights, sharp skills, and vast
experience. Only you don’t have to feed him.”
—Michael Ninness
Senior Product Manager, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Systems
“It’s obvious why Deke is one of the most popular teachers of Photoshop. Throughout the book,
he blends humor and authority in a way that makes simple work of Photoshop’s most complex
features. You feel like he’s right there with you. It really is one-on-one!”
