Light It. Shoot It. Retouch It. Live! in Orlando & Miami
As I mentioned in the beginning of the post, I’m in Canada with Scott for his Light It. Shoot It. Retouch It. Live! tour stops in Calgary (today) and Vancouver (Friday). Between these two seminars, there will be over 900 photographers in attendance!

Next month we’ll be heading to sunny Orlando on August 5 and Miami on August 22. Make sure you head over to KelbyTraining.com for all the info and to register, and make sure you check out the feedback from attendees on the bottom left of the page :)

Want to some hands-on experience with Scott Kelby’s Light It. Shoot It. Retouch It. seminar? You’ll have the opportunity when he takes part in the Dave Cross Workshops on July 29 in Tampa, FL! Scott will walk attendees through multiple lighting setups, and they’ll have the opportunity to photograph models using those setups, then walk through retouching their photos as Scott guides them along.

Do you teach Photoshop?
NAPP is looking to find new ways to help support college instructors and professors as they teach the power of Photoshop, so we sent out a survey to members with an educational membership on Monday. If you are a teacher and/or trainer of Photoshop, and didn’t get the survey by email, we’d like your input too. The survey is short and should take 5 minutes or less. Please complete the survey by midnight Friday, August 5 EST.
