You’ve surely learned by now that my Q&A with Dave Cross on Monday, and the subsequent discussion with Matt Kloskowski on Tuesday, had to mean that another one was coming, right?  For those of you living under a rock for the past ten years, those two are but 2/3rds of the Photoshop Guys crew.  The guy that started it all, Scott Kelby, has taken the time to sit down and chew the fat with us here, so to wrap up this series, I’d like to present, the Founder of NAPP, the CEO of Kelby Media, and Photoshop Guy – Mr. … Continue reading →

Q&A With Matt Kloskowski

Picking up where we left off yesterday with Dave Cross, I’d like to welcome Matt Kloskowski to Canon Blogger and the LDP crowd.  He’s taken time out of his schedule to answer a couple questions about his approach to photography, Photoshop and graphic design!  Without further ado, I give you: 1.  I’ve often heard that in LR post production the top-down and left-to-right approach is good, but also that setting camera profiles is a good first step, which is on the bottom right.  What’s your approach? Once Adobe added the camera profiles, it messed up my whole top-down approach. So … Continue reading →

That’s right, you read that right – I got a chance to get with none other than the Photoshop Guys and ask a few questions about Photoshop, their own projects, and tackle everything from product preferences to personal projects and activities, and even a few personal perspectives thrown in for fun!  Here’s a chance to catch up on the latest with them including their podcasts and shows.  So, let’s just get right down to the brass tacks here…with so much content, it’s broken into three separate posts for today through Wednesday.  Getting things started is Mr. Dave Cross!!!

Five Best Kept Secrets of Photoshop CS5

By now you should know all about the latest and greatest features of Photoshop CS5.  People have been talking until the cows come home about Content Aware Fill, Puppet Warp, and the other “sexy” features of CS5 (and they are pretty awesome, sure).  Heck, you may even know about some of the JDI (just do it) features, but there is still so much under the hood of CS5 that the gurus and pros haven’t even discussed yet.  After taking some time and tinkering around inside CS5, here are five features that I am surprised are not getting more “air time”…I … Continue reading →

Migrating Photoshop to a New Computer

Over the past three years or so, I’ve had several people ask me about what’s involved in migrating from one installation of Photoshop to another, or what’s involved in moving from an old system to a new system.  With Photoshop, it’s just not as easy as it is with other applications for a number of reasons: 1.  Dependencies – While Photoshop is insanely popular, this popularity has spawned an entire industry of third party applications called plug-ins that get installed into Photoshop.  If you simply remove Photoshop without considering these 3rd party “apps”, you could lose their functionality.  There are … Continue reading →

It’s Official – CS5 has been released!

Yup, the day it became available for purchase/download, the trials also became available – a first for Adobe!  I’ve already downloaded it and am starting to play with it for the first time (was not a beta tester).  Suffice to say, it’s pretty slick and yes, as I said yesterday, I am getting the upgrade!  Rather than show you screen shots and pore over the list of new features which has been done ad infinitum, I did a short video of some of the settings I like to adjust on an initial install.  So, here is that video straight from … Continue reading →

Adobe CS5 FAQ

Ever since Adobe announced the impending release of the latest Creative Suite 5, there have been many questions circulating in various online communities and outlets.  Although I was not one of the beta testers, I’ve been following the developments rather closely, and have seen a lot of questions repeated over and over.  Many of the answers to these questions I’ve put together from reading various reliable outlets, including Adobe web pages, reading content from Adobe folks blogs, and from the fountain of information available to me as a NAPP member (and if you’re not a NAPP member, you should consider … Continue reading →

You may think the subject is a typo or some sort of gibberish, but it’s not – that’s the length of the latest podcast that just went live over at PLM!  Kerry Garrison (of Camera Dojo notoriety)  is fresh back from Hawaii and I am back from a long set of downtime from a pretty yucky head cold, so we decided to join forces and cross-publish!  For our purposes here, consider it LDP #43!  You can grab the feed from LPD or iTunes! We had a bunch to talk about ranging from: iPad release from Apple Lightroom 2.7 RC from … Continue reading →

First Lightroom then CS5!

Yesterday Adobe shared the news that they were releasing a second Beta of the upcoming Lightroom 3 – and it’s got a lot of cool new features for us to try out in this public beta, including managing video, point curve, tethered shooting, luminance noise control and much more.  Today, I understand that Adobe has made yet another software announcement: Creative Suite 5 will launch on April 12th! Since I just got wind of this late last night, I don’t have a lot of details on the products (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc.) but there are some sneak peek videos over … Continue reading →
