Who’s taken the plunge and upgraded to CS6? If so, Matt Kloskowski has a killer DVD out in a week or so that shows you all of the coolest new features â” it’s called What’s New in Adobe Photoshop CS6. Win it here before you can buy it and we’ll ship it to you the first day it arrives! Leave a comment and we’ll pick 2 lucky people. If you don’t win and you still want to have Matt at your workstation* showing you the ins and outs of CS6, just order your copy here. *You can win a copy of Matt’s DVD, not Matt.
KelbyTraining.com
Since I skipped last Thursday’s post, there are a bunch of new classes on Kelby Training to let you all know about!
First, Ben Willmore has two new classes on Mastering Curves: Correcting Color and Adjusting Tonality.
Next up is RC Concepcion with an introductory class on Adobe’s latest creation, the Creative Cloud.
And, last but certainly not least, is Jerry Ghionis with Perfect Posing Techniques for Wedding Photographers! Of course, a lot of the techniques in this class are applicable to any portrait situation, not just weddings. If you have people in front of your camera, this is definitely one to watch!

Thank you for taking the time each week to publish these quick notes and arranging the guest writers. I find myself bringing up your site every day at some point to see what you have writtern. Unfortuately I never seem to have the time to watch one of your webinars but I suspect that they are even more beneficial. Thanks
I would love the NAPP membership. Â Already a member, but it would extend it another year. Â
I love Free Stuff Thursdays:) hoping to win a Lightroom 4 seat in Houston.
i bought the LR3 book and now have LR4 … so I need a new book, right ? and free is good at any price

Thanks.
Anyone of them works for me – thanks!
LR4 material would always be helpful.

So many nice freedies I can’t decide. Seeing Matt in Richmond or DC would be special and who wouldn’t want Scott LR4 book. Why not throw in Matt DVD for kicks.

Awesome stuff as always guys! Just a quick FYI… I visit this blog regularly from and today when I went to the page, my anti-virus kicked back a message saying that a trojan horse was blocked. It may just be something on my end, but wanted to make you guys aware of it. It happens on any page from this blog and it wasn’t doing this yesterday.
Its me again, here’s the info from my anti-virus (avast!)Â …hope this helps, but if its nothing, feel free to delete this post!
