I suspect that
many of you may be viewers of the
Understanding Adobe Photoshop podcast... I
really need your help.
The show is starting to get some major attention
(all of it good that will let me do MORE episodes
and give away more stuff on the site). But I
really need to get its iTunes review score and
its ranking up.
So... please click
here, to go to iTunes
and post a review (the negative reviews are
pretty much from when we first launched and
had episodes go down for a few days).
Some recent facts:
1. ALL the back episodes are now live on the page
thanks to the folks at Podango. So even if you
are a subscriber, visit the iTunes
page and download any
missing shows.
2. The show was named to iTunes Photoshop Masters
page (really... I had no idea there was such a
page). Congrats to Scott Kelby, Terry White,
Russell Brown, Matt Klowskowski and Jan Kabili
(all peers).
3. We re-branded the show with cool graphics
(heck, replace your old shows with new ones).
4. ALL shows are now 640 X 480 (so again replace
those old episodes with higher res versions).
Go.... PLEASE.... Really!
Thanks!

If

Expo. I just wanted to
offer you the handouts and resources. Heck..
even if you missed the show you might like
these.
CLASS ONE – Field Production Strategies for
Video Podcasting
The rules of the studio don't apply the same in
the field. In this session you will learn how to
properly capture your video content outside of a
controlled environment and unpredictable lighting
and background noise. You also learn how to
achieve the best results when encoding files for
various output devices. See how the experts
retain overall quality with an overview of the
latest methods and technologies. This session
will also share best practices for multi-camera
productions.

Thanks
to Terry White
for
saying this so well:
”Apple released the details on
getting your $100 Apple Store Credit if you
bought AND activated an iPhone before August
22nd. I have to admit that I was expecting
Apple to make it harder than this. I was
expecting to download a PDF, fill it out, mail
it in and wait 4-8 weeks for a snail mail
certificate. Apple could teach the world how
to do rebates! Go to the link above on your
computer and you basically enter your iPhone
phone number and serial number. You then get a
SMS text message on your iPhone with your
code. You input your code on the same page you
were on above and a couple seconds later your
rebate certificate is there in your browser
(on your computer) for you to print!”
Kudos Apple, the whole process took about 15
seconds and now I have two $100 store credits
(for our two iPhones) in my hands!

If you are a
Windows user who likes to fix up their
photos and video... then you should check
out the new releases from
Adobe. There are very
solid releases with a lot of cool features. I
created a few free tutorials on Premiere
Elements (I love the YouTube publishing
feature). You can check them out
here and also learn more
about Photoshop Elements.

(I promise a sample chapter in a few days).
“Packed with more than 500 techniques, this
book delivers the time-saving workflow processes
that experienced editors want to improve their
productivity, and wow their clients. No need to
wade through tomes of documentation. 'Final Cut
Studio On the Spot' presents immediate solutions

Apple-certified trainers, it clearly illustrates
all the essential methods that pros use to get
the job done efficiently and creatively.
Screenshots and step-by-step instructions show
the way.”
The book is completely updated with new tips in
every chapter. There are also two completely new
chapters on Multi-camera Editing and HD
Workflow.
Amazon has the book on
sale... I hope you enjoy!
