Sebastopol, CA—Two books will be making their debut at Macworld 2009—just in time for all of the photographers and graphic designers present at the show.

“Lesa’s book is a great resource for Photoshop pros and newbies alike,” says Missing Manuals Editor Dawn Frausto. “For people who are new to the program, she explains basic concepts like resolution that folks need to understand when working with images.
