Dan Margulis was one of the first three individualsand the only writerto be named as a member of the Photoshop Hall of Fame. In announcing his election, the National Association of Photoshop Professionals said, Dans ability to reduce complicated concepts to words that users can understand and his insistence on dealing with real-world relevance have made him todays most influential voice in color reproduction. Dans 2006 best-seller, Photoshop LAB Color, revolutionized workflows. Channels expert David Biedny called Photoshop LAB Color probably the most important Photoshop book ever written.
