If you’re not familiar with Adobe.TV and you are interested in the latest software, you really should familiarize yourself with it. They have products for Video Professionals, Photographers, Developers, and Designers.
The link for photographers is here.
And here’s a little tasty review from PhotoInduced.
Here are series of videos on their full line of products and of course, we are highlighting the photographic side of the street. Adobe.TV will give you a fuller preview of the goods BEFORE you spend the coin. Plus there are some great short lessons from a variety of providers. [via PhotoInduced]
Adobe Announces Photoshop CS4 and NAPP Launches “The Photoshop CS4 Online Learning Center”
Posted on: 29 September 2008
Scott Kelby’s endorsement of Photoshop CS4:
You knew it was coming, and sure enough—it’s here. Photoshop CS4 is right around the corner (read Adobe’s Press Release here), and to give you the first look at the new features, we’ve launched two new online Learning Centers:
(1) NAPP’s Free Photoshop CS4 Learning Center
This public learning center, hosted by “The Photoshop Guys” (Matt Kloskowski, Dave Cross, and yours truly, along with RC and Corey from NAPP HQ), gives you a first-look at the new features of Photoshop CS4 with videos from the three of us, including an overview video, an exclusive video interview with Photoshop Principal Product Manager John Nack, a “Top-10″ New CS4 Features article from RC “New Daddy” Concepcion, and a look at the new interface from Corey Barker. Here’s the link to this brand new learning center.(2) NAPP’s “Members Only” In-Depth Learning Center
NAPP members can dive deeper into the new CS4 features with special in-depth videos on the NAPP members Website, from (you guessed it), “The Photoshop Guys.” Here we go more into actual training, and help to get your head around all the new features. So, if you’re a NAPP member, check out the public learning center (above) first, then head over to the NAPP member home page to go more in-depth. [via Photoshop Insider]
If you enjoy a good photowalk, don’t forget about the Sacramento Neon Photowalk on October 3rd. Details on photowalking.org.
They’re meeting in front of the state Capitol building at 7:00 p.m.
On Sept. 19, the Media Bloggers Association announced the launch of an ambitious program called BlogInsure: “a first of its kind liability insurance program for bloggers which provides coverage for all forms of defamation, invasion of privacy and copyright infringement or similar.” MBA president Robert Cox said that for the vast majority of bloggers, the insurance package will cost $540 per year (after the $25 annual MBA dues.) However, some members (those who do certain kinds of blogging that have historically attracted more legal threats) will probably have to pay higher premiums.

The Strobist is on DVD
Posted on: 26 September 2008
Ok, so I’m a little late. Actually I’m a lot late. I just found out that the Strobist has produced and made avaialble to the public Lighting Seminar DVDs. If you haven’t been able to attend a Strobist Workshop (as I have not), fear not–you can get the seminar to come to you.
For more information and details see Strobist.com.
Additionally, Shutterfug has received a copy of the DVDs and will be sharing findings through Shutterfug.com.
In terms of value for money, however, it will very much depend on your experience already. This eight DVD set is certainly much cheaper than many of the other instructional lighting sets on the market and I’ll review the three, “sets,” as I get through them. [via Shutterfug]
