Capabilities
If you're a publisher checking me out for a book project, I can take on anything involving these programs which I use daily:
- Image editing - Photoshop - Lightroom - Aperture - Nikon Capture
- DAM - iView / Expression Media - Extensis Portfolio - Bridge
- Web design - Dreamweaver - Fireworks
I've particular skills in some of the less graphical aspects of digital imaging - workflow, scripting, databases, XML, XMP. I've even driven Photoshop from Excel spreadsheets.
Enquiries
When you write a book that helps photographers use a program, a consistent underlying approach is often as important as your previous experience of it. Transferring knowledge means first appreciating what photographers would actually want the software to achieve, then having the skills to work out the best way to drive in that direction. So while I list programs where I've plenty of experience, contact me about any projects.
