Monday News Fix

By Scott on Monday, August 27th, 2007 at 6:08 am | updates.

It’s a great Monday (ya know, for a Monday), and here’s what’s goin’ on:

Photoshop and Politics: check out this article from the UK’s Telegraph, about how the French President’s love handles were retouched away for a recent article (complete with before and after examples. Thanks to Carl for turning me on to this one). Check it out here.
Want some Photoshop inspiration to kick off your Monday right? Check out the amazing retouching, CGI, and photography of Rocket Studios. This is just some amazing work (check out their different portfolios—you will be amazed and inspired for sure). Here’s the link to RocketArt.com. Enjoy!
More than 500 photographers will be learning the “New Digital Photography Workflow,” using Lightroom and Photoshop CS3 with me this Thursday in Chicago at my Lightroom Live Tour. We’re almost sold out—if you want to go, you can snag one of the last remaining seats at PhotoshopSeminars.com
UPDATE: We’ve added another city to my Lightroom Live Tour, as we’re coming to Tampa, Florida on October 30th at the Tampa Convention Center. You can sign up right here (It’s $99 for the public; only $79 for NAPP members).
There’s an interesting article over at PhotoCritic.com about how to win a photo contest. It’s got a lot of great insights, and worth the quick read. Click here to jump there. Thanks to my buddy Jeff Revell for turning me onto this one.
One of my readers pointed me to this blog review of my new “Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers.” Check it out here.
This is totally just for fun; it’s a short parody video about Microsoft’s answer to the iPhone, called the ZunePhone. Hilarious! Click here to watch it online.
Perhaps most importantly: I have an update on my Gitzo Traveler Tripod field report from Friday, so if you would, please scroll down to the next post for the full scoop.

That’s it for this Monday. Have a great start to your week everybody and we’ll see you back here tomorrow!!!

scott, you posts refer to both the 1550t and the 1540t-which one do you have?— i have been waiting on the edge of my seat with tears in my eyes on how this all is resolved.—–bill patterson

Scott,

Just wanted to say that I’m looking forward to attending the LightRoom tour in D.C. on September 10.

I’d previously been scheduled to be out of the country on that day, but a last minute change in plans means I can make it.

Also, my copy of your CS3 book bought from the NAPP bookstore eventually arrived, and has been a good read so far [as expected ]

Regards,

-Ade

Hi Scott-

Any idea when/if the Lightroom Tour will make it to the Detroit (Michigan) area?? I would love to attend this seminar! Thanks Scott.

Scott - You keep threatening to have your lightroom tour in Denver - any plans on when this actually will happen?

Hey Scott,

Many of us in our regional club got our licks in photography by reading through your great books on PS for Digital Photographers (for me in CS2), so thanks so much for everything you do. I do have a question about your workflow though…with an evident mastery and expertise across much of the Adobe Platform, I am wondering whether you use both Lightroom and PS for workflow, or if you find yourself using one more than the other for basic workflow? I realize this may be putting you in something of a quandry as much of your support comes from “The Adobe Mothership” and you don’t want to alienate one product line over another equally deserving one, so feel free to email rather than post a response…
