SAVE $100 NOW

After April 30, 2007 Adobe will no longer be offering Adobe Photoshop Lightroom at the introductory price of $199. It will go back up to its original price of $299. This is still an amazing offer and you have only 2 days left to take advantage of it. So don’t be one of those people that waits and then wishes they had done it. You can find out more here.
Also, if you want to get up to speed in a hurry, check out Scott Kelby’s new book: The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers. This is the definitive guide. It will get you past the techno-babble and will have you correcting images within the first few pages.

Cool CS3 Icons!!!

Well, some of us weren’t so impressed with the new iconography of the new CS3 when it first appeared. Frankly, I thought it looked a lot like the chart of the elements. Well, a designer by the name of Adam Betts has created a complete set of really cool CS3 alternate icons. Their design is based on the package design of each product. I think they are much more attractive. You can download the full set here.

Photoshop TV Contest

If you haven’t watched Photoshop TV lately (especially this week), then you missed the big news. We announced the very first Photoshop TV Shopping Spree Image Contest with the grand prize being a trip to New York City where you will go on a $1,000 shopping spree at B & H Photo. You can submit up to three of your best images. They don’t even have to be retouched by Photoshop. If it’s great right out of the camera, then so be it. It’s really a bummer that I cannot enter. I know that I could spend $1,000 at B & H in a real hurry. Anyway, don’t waste time. Get those entries in soon. The beauty of the contest is that there is no entry fee. Find out more here.

Back From Boston!!!!

Well, I have returned from Photoshop World in Boston and I must say, it was quite a BLAST!!! First, I want to thank everyone who attended my class. I received a lot of positive comments and great suggestions. I anticipate bringing you a lot more in Vegas this September. Midnight Madness…need I say more. It was simply MADNESS. Those of you who were there know that I was a bachelor in the “Midnight Madness Dating Game” and things got a little “weird” to say the least, but hey…we all had a great time. Also, thanks to everyone who told me how much they enjoyed the opening keynote featuring Scott Kelby and the Histograms. We had too much fun just preparing for it, not to mention, actually performing it on stage. Anyway, I just want to say thanks to everyone for making this one of the best Photoshop Worlds going and I can’t wait to see you in Vegas!! Check out pics from the event here.

Boston Rocks!!

Things are great here in Boston. I had my Visual Effects class last night and it went really well. For those of you who attended, I really hope you enjoyed it.   We had the big party at Jilian’s last night and it was great watching BIG ELECTRIC CAT perform, it was really cool. The keynote was a blast, we had so much fun dancing to the “Photown”  classics and the crowd really enjoyed it.  I am running around today trying to get interviews with all the big names here at Photoshop World that will be featured on upcoming episodes of Photoshop TV.  Stay tuned….

Viewing and Basking in your Image

When I’m done working with an image, I like to sit and admire it (hey, I spent six hours working on it, I should). To do that, I hit the Tab key, then hit the F key three times. This hides all of the panels and toolbars and lets you see the image by itself surrounded by black. To get back to regular mode, press the F key and the Tab key one more time.
