Kate Binder has mastered Photoshop and several other graphics programs over the past 20 years, and is starting to feel quite old. She still enjoys tinkering with photos and does so at every opportunity. (It’s much more entertaining than doing actual work.) When she can be found working, Kate is most likely to be doing magazine or book production, creating ebooks for major publishers, or writing books like this one. Books Kate has written or cowritten include Easy Mac OS X Leopard (Que, 2007, ISBN 9780789737717), Sams Teach Yourself Adobe Photoshop CS3 in 24 Hours (Sams, 2007, ISBN 9780672329357), Easy Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 (Que, 2005, ISBN 9780789734679), Get Creative!: The Digital Photo Idea Book (McGraw-Hill, 2003, ISBN 9780072227215), SVG for Designers (McGraw-Hill, 2002, ISBN 9780072225297), Microsoft Office v. X for Mac Inside Out (Microsoft Press, 2002, ISBN 9780735616288), The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Mac OS X (Alpha, 2001, ISBN 9780789725288), Photoshop 6 Cookbook (Silver Pixel Press, 2001, ISBN 9781883403836), PhotoImpact Solutions (Muska and Lipman Publishing, 2000, ISBN 9781929685127), and Sams Teach Yourself QuarkXPress 4 in 14 Days (Hayden Books, 1997, ISBN 9780756302771). Kate lives in an old house in New Hampshire with her husband, journalist Don Fluckinger, accompanied by assorted children, greyhounds, cats, and (she’s pretty sure) a mouse under the dryer.
