Bruce Fraser passed away on December 16, 2006

Bruce Fraser was a very dear friend, colleague, and brain trust. I will miss this man immensely. Many people owe much of their understanding of digital imaging and color management to his tireless research and gentle teaching.

Bruce get well soon.

I know a little thing like this can’t keep a tough ol’ Scottsman down for long.

B-)

You’ve got lots of Books left in you and we want all of them.
thanks for all the knowledge.

Buko, that wacky welshman.

Bruce,
I’m not suggesting a remedy “instead of” conventional therapy, but “in addition to”.
Try this:
1. On a photo of yourself, use the Magic Wand Tool to select the background.
2. Inverse the selection so that you are now surrounded by the marching ants.
3. Apply the Healing Brush Tool to the selection.
4. Save (yourself).
5. Now have a glass of your favorite wine (for medicinal purposes only).
6. Listen to your wife and doctor (in that order).
We will all be right here waiting to hear about your recovery and looking forward to your next article, book, wisdom.
Ever Onward.

Bruce, spend the time you need to recover well. You have much more good work to do. Health problems can be a real nuisance, but it does sound as if you are getting better. Hope to see you back in action soon.

Bruce, I’m hoping all is well again for you. Having spent a year plus handling my own health issues, I know it can throw life out of wack for a bit. Hang tough, you’ve got a lot of fans out here thinking about you and wishing you well -
Cheers,
Jeff Boucher

Dear Bruce,
I enjoyed your lecture for ASMP in Columbia, SC, recently and recommend your books as essential for all digital photographers. Hope you recover quickly and return to continue to lead us through the digital maze!

Dear Bruce,

Get better soon and stop smaoking (you too Jeff).

I am being completely selfish in this wish for your recovery and continued good health because not only know do you know this stuff inside and out better than anyone we know of but you also do a better job of explaining it in a comprehensible language. Reading your work is akin to Richard Feynmann on physics: consise, deeply profound, common sensical, slightly silly sometimes and just a good read.

Using Photoshop would be a completely different –and more confusing — experience without you around.

Best wishes to Angela as well.

Good news that you had a quick recovery and will overcome all obstacles to getting back up to steam quickly.
I can see it now , in the OR, while still groggy with anesthesia you eyeing all that equipment that needs instrument based calibration.

Wish you a speedy recovery Bruce.

Dear Bruce

I’m glad you listened to your wife and got your fanny to a doctor!

Get well soon!

I have both editions of Real World Camera Raw and am a registered PhotoKit Sharpener user. I got to hear you speak live for the first time at Photoshop world.

I’m glad to hear you’re going to be around a while longer!
