About me: I started shooting with a twin lens reflex in 1958 and shared my father's example in the darkroom. I always wanted photography to be a serious (and time consuming) hobby, not a job. That said, my professional life gave me the opportunity to know the work of pros from photography to publishing. I saw them using Photoshop, Illustrator, Pagemaker, Quark Express, Acrobat and so on. I made the plunge to digital photography in 1999, and soon looked from the right software for me. I started with Elements 2 and albums, then followed with versions 4, 5, 6 then 10 and all subsequent versions. I was also particularly interested in the Organizer which did fit exactly my needs (I had to create myself most of my logistics softwares, so the database and catalog idea was quite natural). Elements is considered a 'consumer' product in the middle of a host of other 'pro' softwares. I consider it is more than that and I take pleasure in helping others together with a few very competent and hepful mvp/acps. I don't care much personally with my being chosen for the 'Hall of Fame', but if that serves as a spotlight to enhance the Elements software, I am happy.

About me: I started with computers in 1986 with MS-DOS. As they got more powerful, I started with windows 3.1 in 1993, and got my first scanner in 1998 with Photoshop 4. I found it very widely supported with tutorials for every level, and I noticed some authors spoke to me in plain English in getting me familiar with what is the "747" of Image Editors. Whether troubleshooting or instruction, I hope to make things easier for the new users or even old hands needing guidance. The best thing is knowing I got someone back to making their deadline or concentrating on what they excel in with Adobe Software. Fountain Pens, particularly the Pelikan brand, and assorted stationery, shortwave radio, and living near San Francisco, day trips to some of the best sights and restaurants around. You have to really try to get bored out here.

About me: I grew up in Los Angeles amid the counter-culture/sexual revolution. When I attended school, personal computing and the Internet didn't exist. Although I trained and worked briefly as an x-ray technologist, my deeper interests laid elsewhere. SoI moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and hung out at Stanford University. Well actually the campus coffee shop and pinball arcade where I met like-minded people who enjoyed games & intellectually stimulating conversation. Eventually, I arrived in a sales & marketing office where I met my future husband, a writer and ultimate business partner. After a 13 year career in sales, I switched hats and worked as an administrator in the behavioral healthcare sector for 10+ years. Today, I'm co-owner of a small business, a freelance web developerand print/graphic designer -- skills acquired mainly from experience rather than any formal training. I live in Simi Valley, home of the Reagan Presidential Library, with my husband of 33 years and our cat Reggie, as well as a 50 lb outdoor raccoon whom we call Rollo.
