Tuesday News Stuff
Hi gang: My book deadline is coming up on Friday, and I’m nose to the grindstone, so I’ll keep this short and sweet.
- A New Photoshop Baby Is Born
A big congratuations to last week’s Guest Blogger, Photoshop Product Manager Bryan Hughes, who welcomed the birth of their baby boy, Miles Lewis Hughes, on Valentine’s Day. Mom, Dad, and baby are doing great! - Some Photoshop World stuff
Besides being the deadline for my book, Friday is your last chance to save $100 on your Photoshop World Conference & Expo pass, because the Early Bird Special ends on Friday at midnight. Here’s where to sign up (Boston is a blast—I hope you’ll be there! The photo above is of Adobe’s booth on the Expo floor). - Hotels in Boston Filling Fast!
We are filling up our block of rooms fast at our host hotels; the Sheraton Boston (our official Host Hotel where all the instructors will be staying) and the Westin Copley Place (right next door, and attached to the convention center), so if you’re coming up to Photoshop World next month, make sure you snag your hotel rooms now!!!! The room info is on the Photoshop World Website. - On-Location Video from Joey Lawrence
I just found out that Joey Lawrence, my guest blogger from two weeks ago, has posted a full 16-minute on-location video from his trip to Ethiopia. Now, before you click the link, just so you know up front, the video contains (in no particular order), nudity, language, and a bit of violence (they kill a goat for dinner). If you’re OK with that, then check it out, because it is cool to see him interacting with the natives and some of the stuff they have to deal with along the way. Here’s that link. - Get 25% Off on Large Prints ’till Feb. 25th
If you’re one of those photographers thinking, “I always hear Scott talking about MPIXcom. Ya know, I’m gonna try them one day…” well here’s your chance: MPIX is offering 25% off large-sized prints now thru February 25th. Try them once—love them forever! (ask anybody that’s used them). Here’s the link with details. One more thing: Dave Cross had a post on his blog last week pointing out that MPIX now offers printing on the back of prints, so you can add your copyright info, studio contact info, etc. The details are right here.
- Lame Segue Alert!
Speaking of Dave Cross (sorry), he has Chase Jarvis as his “Finish the Sentence” guest this week, and you gotta take 30-seconds and check Chase out. Here’s the link.
- Free CS4 Update for “Photoshop for Video” Book
Our buddy, and Photoshop World instructor, Richard Harrington, author of the popular book, “Photoshop for Video,” has posted a free 40-page update to his book (they’re not planning a rewrite of the entire book, because as Rich noted, ” …not much changed in the world of video specific tools.” His update is free, and includes all the hands-on files (Rich rocks!). Here’s the link.
OK gang, that does it for me; have a great Tuesday, and don’t forget to check out Zack Arias’ Special Guest blog tomorrow!
