Hey gang, Brad here with this week’s edition of Pimpy Thursday!
NAPP News
It’s “Christmas in July” at Kelby Training Books!
Ok, we know… that whole “Christmas in July” thing always feels a little silly. I mean, who likes singing carols when it’s 95 degrees outside? However, there’s one thing that’s never silly, and that’s PRESENTS! So from now until July 31, when you buy any regularly priced book, DVD, or special bundle from Kelby Training, we’ll throw in 3 free DVDs!
No codes and no special links necessary. Just make a purchase and poof! “Christmas in July!” Well, ok, there’s a couple catches. We get to choose the DVDs, and they will be from our sale-priced DVDs. We can pretty much guarantee that one of them will be the Best of Photoshop User – The 12th Year DVD, and no returns, trade-ins, special requests or whining is allowed :) But hey! That’s still a whole lot of extra training. Plus, if you already own one of the DVDs you get, you now have an instant re-gift!
Wallpaper of the Week
Be sure to check out the Wallpaper of the Week on the members home page. Each week an image from a NAPP member will be featured as the wallpaper of the week, so if you see something you like for your desktop, iPad, iPhone or other device – grab it!
Armed Forces Discount
As a way of saying “thanks” to our armed forces, NAPP would like to extend a $20 discount to every new or renewed NAPP member actively serving in our armed forces. Visit this page for complete details, and please feel free to share this via your referral program. If you know of an active duty serviceman or woman who is into Photoshop, a digital membership will put Photoshop User magazine right on their laptops, iPhones and iPads no matter where in the world they are.
KelbyTraining.com
Corey Barker is back with his latest class, Photoshop CS5 In-Depth: Interface and Preferences. He’ll show you how to save workspaces and customize Photoshop so you can optimize the time you spend working for maximum productivity.
Kelby Training Live
In addition to Scott Kelby’s Light It. Shoot It. Retouch It. LIVE! Tour, you can also catch Fay Sirkis on the road with The Art of Photo Painting with Photoshop CS5 Tour! She’ll be in Washington, DC on July 29, and in Los Angeles, CA on August 3. You can get all the details over at KelbyTrainingLive.com.
Special Deal for Nik Software and OnOne Software from Acme Educational
Speaking of Vincent Versace, he and the team at Acme Educational have teamed up with Nik Software and OnOne Software to offer you a 10% discount on their products! Just use the coupon code ACME when you’re making your purchase.
The discount doesn’t apply to Nik Software’s third party products or specials (like the current $100 off Color Efex Pro 3.0 Complete or $60 off HDR Efex Pro), but everything else is fair game!
$100 Off Design Services for Photographers at Tweak.com
Through the end of July, the team over at Tweak.com is offering $100 off graphic designs for photographers! If you’re not familiar with them, they let you upload your photos to one of their design templates for brochures, business cards, newsletters, and display banners, then print and deliver them to you. Then you turn around and use those items to wow your clients, and increase sales!
Blog Collage from Fundy Software
Fundy Software, Inc. has just released its latest product, Blog Collage – the fastest way to create stunning collages for a blog or Facebook marketing needs. Features include designing for any blog/web width easy branding with logos using color or transparent backgrounds creating dynamic layouts with easy design and unlimited module combinations, and auto-saving for the web.

That’s it for this week. Have a great Thursday!
Blog Stomp is cheaper fro fast blog collages) I use it)
CAKB!
I’m going to ask a really silly question. What is CAKB?
Ditto Mark. I was going to ask the same questions yesterday (but didn’t coz I too felt it was a silly question)!
Brad – if we order a book that is on pre-order (such as Matt’s Photoshop Compositing Secrets) that won’t ship until Aug, do we still get the extra pressies?
Hey Mark – Yep! Not till your order ships, but you will still get the extras :)
Bugger! and I’d just gone and bought Portrait Retouching earlier this week… (checking transit – see if I can cancel…)
Now that’s a lot of Pimpy!! Thanks, Brad.
–John
Brad, I do believe you meant to say “contrived”, rather than connived…. LOL
Great offer. Question though: if you place more than one order before the end of the month will each order qualify for the ‘Free’ presents?
