Thursday News Update
Hope everybody had a great fourth. Here’s the news:
- John Beardsworth has posted a very extensive, menu-by-menu list of the new features added in Lightroom 1.1 (over at this site Photoshopservices.co.uk). If you were wondering if your favorite “pet” feature (or fix) made its way into this new version, this is the place to check. Well done, John. :-)
- If you’re going to the Photoshop World Conference & Expo this September, there’s an optional pre-conference Workshop (the day before Photoshop World officially starts) that you might want to check out. It’s a beginner’s intro to using your digital SLR, and it’s taught by pro landscape photographers Laurie Excel (AKA, “The Equipment Lady” and the person behind NAPP’s own Camera Gear Desk). Laurie is a wonderful teacher, and in this workshop you’ll finally learn what all the buttons and dials do, why they’re there, which ones to use, and which ones to ignore. If you really want to start getting the most out of your digital SLR, I highly recommend this workshop. There’s more info right here.
- iPhone users: there’s a great little article (by James Duncan Davidson) over at O’Reilly.com on how to get photos directly from Lightroom right into your iPhone. Definitely worth checking out.

For the past few weeks, “The Photoshop Guys” have been filming our episodes “on the road” as construction is wrapping up on our new video production studio. With any luck, we’ll be filming there next week (we’re keeping our fingers crossed) and we’ll be launching with a new set, new branding for the show (HINT: it’s not going to be called “NAPP TV” anymore), and a HUGE giveaway. In the meantime, after filming episodes in the back of Corey’s Mini Cooper, and around Dave Cross’s pool, this week the displaced “PSGs” filmed our show from a local golf course (as seen above), and despite the change in location, the jokes are just as lame as ever (but we did have some cool tutorials, including a special guest tutorial from Photoshop Hall of Famer Deke McClelland). Check out this week’s episode right here online, or catch it each week by subscribing (for free) in Apple’s iTunes (for Windows and Mac).

That’s it so far. Have a great Thursday everybody! :)
