If you have never checked out Photoshop TV, then there is no better time. This week’s episode is a special one because I somehow found myself hosting the show all by myself.

I also managed to squeeze in a couple tutorials of my own. It’s a show full of laughs and tears and….. well!! Oh, just check it out here and enjoy!!

Adobe News!!

Well Adobe has announced that they will be announcing…hmmm that almost sounds silly. Anyway, they have announced that they will be announcing the new CS3 Suite on March 27. Mind you, they are not announcing a ship date. They are merely introducing the new product to the world, officially. This will be celebrated at the launch party Adobe will be having in New York City which will be a live webcast at 3:30 EST. Also, Adobe has released a teaser site. I have no clue what it is for, perhaps CS3? There isn’t much more to go on. I guess that’s why they call it a teaser. At least it has some cool interactive Flash content. Check it out here.

Artist Spotlight: Bert Monroy

Now here is a man that has simply got it down. The man does not need a camera. He renders everything from scratch and the results are simply stunning. Bert has been using Photoshop pretty much since its inception and inclusion into the digital world and he has managed to leave even some of the best illustrators stupefied, and he is still at it. Bert currently is traveling the country bringing his expertise to the masses through his Creativity Tour, sponsored by the NAPP. You can check out Bert’s work here. You can also check out his weekly podcast in which he posts a new technique every week. Realy cool stuff.

Photoshop Online?

Adobe just recently announced that in about six months they will be launching an online version of the Photoshop. This will be a sort of entry-level version giving people the ability to use Photoshop for free over the web. Now it won’t have the complete set of features that come in the shipping version of Photoshop, but will give newbies the ability to get really familiar and perhaps novice users to use it in remote location when they are away from their own computers. I must say, I am not fully understanding the logic myself but hmmm… we’ll see!!

Inspiration Seekers!!!

Cool Home Pages

Now here is a nifty little site that I visit every now and then for inspiration. It’s called coolhomepages.com and it is a collection of web pages that range from personal to full-blown commercial. These are submitted by the creators of the sites and you can even submit your own. It is a really good resource for checking out what’s in and what’s out in the web design world. The search engine is broken down by category, so if you work in a particular field you can narrow your search to just that. It is definitely worth a look. You can check it out 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.
