Adobe CS3 Creative License Conference -- Review

On Wednesday (5/16/07) I was lucky enough to be at the HP Booth sponsering the Adobe conference for the release of CS3. Overall the show was very impressive, CS3 looks very promising. One of the most impressive benefits I saw was Photoshop's new 3D ability. The demostrations really showcased some inovative things. I was also excited about the new combination of "Page Setup" and "Print Preview," finally making printer settings more intuitive and powerful. This should really take a lot of the guesswork and prevent the dreaded "double management" for issues from Portrait vs. Landscape to Printer vs. Photoshop color management.


Lots of great people at the shop, I would highly recommend going if one is coming near you (8 city tour, 1 or 2 day events). Also a great networking opportunity for anyone involved in creative professions.

Giclee Seminar - Tomorrow in Chicagoland (Free!)

IT supplies is hosting a Giclee seminar tomorrow (May 16th, 2007) in Schaumburg, (NW suburb of Chicago). Its free, appears to be sponsered by Epson, and will feature local artists showing Giclee tips, tricks, and a basic overview of the Giclee process. Its running from 1PM - 7PM, I will try and catch the end of it if I can get back from the Adobe CS3 Conference in time (unfortunately, not Free). Should be a good time.

Bert Monroy's Photoshop seminar

Last week I had the amazing opportunity to attend the Photoshop seminar being taught by Bert Monroy, who turns out to be an amazing speaker as well as teacher. One of the best seminars I've been to on a technical topic, definitely worth checking out if you live near one of the major cities. The price is a steal at $99 for an all day event ($79 for NAPP members). Bert Monroy also has great prints of his work for sale on his site, check them out.
