In 1995 he began teaching a night photography class for Tulsa Technology Center. Then, as an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop, Doug began teaching a Photoshop class.

But he unable to find a textbook that directly targeted the needs of his students. Most were too indepth and indecipherable to newcomers. All were too boring.

So based directly on what his students told him they wanted to learn, Doug wrote Photoshop Now, then a sequel,More Photoshop Now, then Photography Now, then Digital Photography Now. At the request of Adobe's education department, Doug has also written a textbook for middle school students on Adobe Elements titled Imagers.
