Author Biography

In September 2001, DAN MARGULIS was one of the first three individuals–and the only writer–to be named as a member of the Photoshop Hall of Fame. In announcing his election, the National Association of Photoshop Professionals said, "Dan’s ability to reduce complicated concepts to words that users can understand and his insistence on dealing with real-world relevance have made him today’s most influential voice in professional color reproduction."
