On the way to this book we had assistance from many people and wish to thanks them. First were those closest to us, our wives Sally, Martha, and Peggy. Next, this project could not have happened without the wonderful guidance of Diane Heppner, Paul Gottehrer and the staff of Focal Press.
The book was enabled by the input from the reviewers Trudy Baker-Tate, Ryan Baldwin, Ike Lea, Richard Zakia, and Gordon Brown. We also received support from Scott Miles, Christopher Broughton, and Russ McConnell who helped with their workflows. There were also the many artists who have graciously allowed us to use their images and they are listed at the end of the text. We also received support from numerous corners of Brooks Institute of Photography, particularly many students in the graduate program.
Manufacturers were also helpful in putting together this book. Ruben Dario Cruz, Tameron, USA Inc.; Jim Davis, Eastman Kodak Company; Canon, U.S.A.; Mamiya America Corporation; Nikon, USA; and Phase One provided information and/or illustrations for the book.
We hope that this book will help you in your journey through digital image capture.
