Over the past Saturday, one of foremost Photoshop authors, Bruce Fraser, passed away after a short bout with lung cancer. Besides being an author, he was a contributing editor of Macworld, speaker, and a partner of PixelGenius, a company that designs Photoshop plugins.
I’ve personally read quite a number of books written by him since I got into digital photography and editing them in Photoshop. I’ve found his books easy to understand and follow.
Here are some tributes and memories written around the web:
- “Remembering Bruce Fraser” (Macworld)
- “Bruce Fraser: January 9, 1954 – December 16, 2006” (PhotoshopNews)
