Pre-Con Day

Well, I am sitting here in the Canon Photo Pre Con Session with Scott Kelby. This event is already insane, it is just a blast. I have been walking around and meeting  members and instructors and they are just great people. It is weird for me because the last Photoshop World I attended, I was just an attendee. Now I am here in an entirely different capacity so its very weird and very exciting.  Well gotta go…I am really intrigued by what they are showing us. More to come…

I’m Shipping Off to Boston!!

I am here at the airport in Tamp about to take off for Photoshop World.  I am sitting on the plane with Matt on my left and Dave on my right. It seems I am the meat in this Photoshop sandwich. Anyway, for those of you that are coming be sure to seek me out and say hi. I will be posting everyday with my own PS World updates.  Stay tuned, this is going to be fun….

Photoshop TV Special Episode

TV Scott

My fellow Photoshop Guys were on hand in New York City earlier this week to shoot a special episode of Photoshop TV covering the Adobe CS3 launch party. This very special episode is now available for download at photoshoptv.com. Check it out.

Adobe Event Photos

Scott Kelby, Matt Kloskowski, and Dave Cross, aka The Photoshop Guys, were at the big Adobe CS3 launch party in New York City a couple of days ago shooting a special on-location episode of Photoshop TV. Matt managed to capture a few behind the scenes images of the event which can be viewed here. This special episode will air in the next day or two. You can check this out at photoshoptv.com. Also, you can check out new CS3 Extended videos on the NAPP CS3 Learning Center.

Photoshop CS3 Extended Videos

To go along with the announcement of the new Adobe Creative Suite 3, my fellow Photoshop Guy Matt Kloskowski and I have updated the NAPP CS3 Learning Center with some videos demonstrating the new features in the Photoshop Cs3 Extended version. They include 3D capabilities, video, measurement and analysis. These features are exclusive to the Extended version which will be sold separately from the standard version. You can check out the the new vids here and to get more info on both versions go here.

Don’t Forget The Adobe Launch!!!

That’s right, Adobe will be broadcasting a live webcast of the CS3 launch party from New York City on Tuesday.

Free Expo Pass

The Photoshop World Tech Expo is one the most exciting and most anticipated events at Photoshop World. It boasts some the biggest names in the industry demonstrating their latest and greatest technologies. There are also expo classes with Photoshop World instructors teaching the latest techniques right on the Expo floor. The really good news is all of this will be open to the public on Thursday, April 5 from 10:00 to 5:00 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. Go to here for your free pass, otherwise it is $25 at the door.

This is just too cool!!

Seeing new technology has always amazed me and this is certainly no exception. Here is a video demo of a multi-touch large format display that is fully interactive as you work. You can access tools and settings right on screen with the touch of your hand. It does however, seem to be a little slow and not quite as fluid as you would hope, but it sure is promising. Couple more years development and it will be the next best thing. At any rate, watching the demo is pretty darn cool! Check it out here.

Free Presets for Lightroom!!

Jack Davis, co-author of the Photoshop WOW! and and How To Wow: Photoshop for Photography has teamed up with onOne Software to release a free set of Develop presets for Photoshop Lightroom. This is a sizable collection of presets varying from basic tonal correction to B&W conversion and vignetting. Since they are presets, you can modify the settings once you have applied them. Not only that, it’s a great way to really get familiar with how Lightroom works. Just apply a preset to different images and then study the settings for each. It’s definitely worth checking out. For more info and to download the free presets go here.

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.
