Book

There was a time period right after my graduation from college, I was very interested in the image processing.  I was young, and energetic, but seemed lack of patience to learn different theories and formulas.  I learned all sorts of software to make fancy and "crazy" photos and images.  Fortunately, I was not the only one at that time.  Together with other two young men, we finally summarized all we learned, and wrote them into one book.  The book, of course, doesn't contain any wonderful ideas or researches like I do in now days.  But surely, it was popular at that time in China, since there are always many young people like me that want to learn easy, quick and seemly fantastic and impressive skills. The reason I list this book in here, is not because I am proud of its contents, but in fact I like the courage and adventures that I had during writing this book, and want to cherish them for the rest of my career.
