Update from Adobe’s Design Conference Dubai
Hi gang. Here’s a quick “howdy” from amazing Dubai. The shots above are from my Photoshop session at the Adobe Design Conference Dubai, earlier today (photos by Serge). I have to say; it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The people here in Dubai are incredibly gracious, fun, and kind, and they were a terrific crowd to present to. I was surprised, and totally tickled, to see how many people brought in their books for me to sign, and I was jazzed to meet both NAPP members from Dubai, and people who watch Photoshop User TV.
They really made me feel at a home here, and Adobe put on just an outstanding conference for the attendees, and everybody I talked with was just loving the conference. Thanks to Adobe for having me speak, and thanks to the warm people of Dubai for their wonderful hospitality.
I haven’t had a chance to work up any photos yet (I’ve been shooting a bunch—just not processing yet). I had a 5:00 am dawn shoot today, and I have to leave at 4:00 am for a shoot in the morning, so I’m hitting the sack right now. The photo at the bottom was taken after my session today, and that’s my brother Jeff on the left, and my buddy Jeff Revell (from PhotoWalkPro.com) on the right.
Hopefully, I’ll have some shots to post soon. Have a great day everybody! 
Dear Scott,
I would like to extend my gratitude to you for coming all the way from US to Dubai for your amazing presentation which turned our heads during the event. We would love to see you more frequent especially that you fall in love with Dubai like anyone else. Just a little favor; you promised that you’ll have your presentation available for download from the d-day website. unfortunately it is not there yet. appreciate if you confirm that it will be in the d-day website or in your blog?
Thanks again.

Hi Scott,
Serge, Jane and you made the day for me yesterday in Dubai. You guys know your stuff. Your sessions were kick-ass! Had to kick myself and gulp down gallons of coffee to stay awake during the other presentations. So thanks once again for your power-house sessions.

Hi Scott, your talk in Dubai was fab, and really helpful. As requested I didn’t take any notes as you said a pdf would be available, where can I get that pdf from???
An excellent and very scotty presentation as usual you had in Dubai, I have been a NAPP member for long and have seen so many of your Photoshop TV podcasts, but having you here in person is another experience.
April, 12th It is a day to remember.
OH MY! What a treat Scott. Thank you SO much for sharing this once-in-a-lifetime experience with us.
One of your thousands of students, and “faithful follower!”
Scott,
Need to push the NAPP benefits a lot more in Dubai if you met “both NAPP members”. Just kidding.
Can we get sofas at the next Photoshop Dude, Dude?

Scott,I realize this is not about the update, but I bought your Photoshop Elements 6 book after upgrading and cannot get into the editor from the file selected in the organizer.It was working fine and then this week a pop up window says “Could not Initialize Photoshop Elements because file could not be found.” I am desparate. Thanks for any help you can suggest. P.S. I have your Elements 5 book too. John
That looks like the most comfortable conference seating imaginable….like sitting at home on a big comfortable couch while taking in a live presentation.
