Samantha, teenage daughter of Guide Jacci Howard Bear, is a new contributing author and photographer for About.com Desktop Publishing.
Software Reviews:
Although she's had never used desktop publishing software before 2008, Sam is getting hooked. Her reviews are written from the perspective of a new user with very little desktop publishing software experience. Although her reviews may be short, Sam spends hours (and hour and hours) creating scrapbook pages, photo albums, signs, cards, and other photo crafts as she tries out the many features of each new program. Recently she's become quite enamored with Serif PagePlus.
Digital Photography and Photo-Editing:
As an amateur photographer, Sam carries her camera with her everywhere. And once she gets those photos home she spends hours editing them. While learning the craft, she's also busily learning the language of photography and photo-editing. Her photo illustrations, screenshots, and photo manipulation efforts appear throughout this site.
