Introduction	By now, photographers looking to dig into the nuances of digital imaging have probably heard of Eddie Tapp. The fact that he’s been a professional photographer of merit for many years, but that’s not all that drives the demand for his lectures and workshops. As amazing as digital photography is, from the new professional-level cameras to the possibilities afforded by the RAW photo format, this new medium is still intimidating. Not all professional photographers in the U.S. have made the switch from film, and those ready to take that step want to learn from someone—preferably one of their own—who knows digital inside and out. Eddie fits that bill. Not only is he a great photographer, he’s also a great teacher, recently inducted to the Photoshop Hall of Fame. “Eddie is one of those instructors who has a connection with students that just really sticks,” comments Scott Kelby, President of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP). It takes a lot of patience and requires a better-than-usual understanding of how to shoot and process with digital equipment. One of his highest honors in his career is being an Explorer of Light and Print Master with Canon USA.
