Photoshop World – Are you ready ?

by Dave Clayton on August 26, 2010

Photoshop World
Photoshop World – it’s almost here !

So, it’s almost here ! My first Photoshop World and made extra special by going as the UK NAPP Evangelist AND it’s also the first CS5 PSW to boot (I only wish I had CS5).

The lead up to this event has been an enjoyable experience, through Twitter and Facebook I have made some great connections with NAPP members who are going (and some who are not) and I look forward to meeting them all in person, obviously including the NAPP guys and gals.
I arrive in Vegas on Tuesday 31st August about 9.30am so I have a nice day to get ready (no pre-cons booked) and then meet a few new faces at the TweetUp in the evening.
I’m still chopping and changing my PSW class schedule on Shawn Welch’s brilliant PSW iPhone App, so many good classes clash, it’s a shame I have to miss some good ones but that’s the thing with Photoshop, there are no bad classes !
I have purchased the Speed Pass and Pro Pass so I am hot to trot ! Hopefully I’ll also snag a Midnite Madness ticket as that looks to be great fun and will be attending the party at the House of Blues on the Wednesday night – looking forward to seeing Big Electric Cat.
Then there’s the ACP Pro HDR Photowalk in old Vegas on the Wednesday evening with Brian Matiash, my trip to the newly renovated Vegas Neon boneyard on the Friday and finishing off the whole trip with a visit to the Grand Canyon armed with all new photography knowledge to take some great shots in that super hot desert sun [gulp].

As far as I am concerned I have hit the jackpot with this trip:
– Meet great new people
– Learn tons of stuff, both Photoshop and Photography
– Visit some new cool places
– Blag some great discounts at the expo
– Come away armed with brilliant memories, contacts & photos

I’ll be posting updates on here, apologies in advance if you get bored of me going on about it but I want to chronicle this adventure for myself and hopefully to give UK NAPP members a taste of what to expect from an overseas visit to Photoshop World.
Thanks for listening.
Dave

NAPP/Kelby Podcasts – Problem Solving!

by Dave Clayton on August 11, 2010

Kelby TV - Online Shows for Creative Professionals.

Kelby TV - Online Shows for Creative Professionals.


One of the free services NAPP / Kelby Training make available are the weekly podcasts.
Over at Kelby TV you’ll find a whole host of shows covering all aspects of the Adobe Creative suite and Photography. These shows have solved so many problems I have found in the past and also produced some great tips to use that you may have never realised were there in the software.
One thing I would encourage though is to send the guys a message if you have a problem you can’t solve.
On two occasions now I’ve had a direct answer to a problem appear on Layers TV and Photoshop User TV.
The guys do read and listen so don’t be afraid to ask and always enter the competitions (contests) at the end of the shows. I’ve won a years Kelby Training and a years Layers Magazine (printed version) subscription this year already.
So even if you aren’t a NAPP member (yet!) you can still learn plenty from the guys and gals at NAPP/Kelby Media but if you join NAPP or try Kelby Training then there is just a whole lot more you can learn.

And then there’s Photoshop World !
