Personal | Training Products | Resources | AdobeI 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!

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.
