HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

It has been quite a year in the world of Photoshop. With CS3 hitting full force, the industry has just been crazy. Not just with Photoshop but the entire Creative Suite got a complete overhaul. With some brand new applications and of course Macromedia’s fine line of web authoring tools. Not to mention, that small yet powerful new application Lightroom. Never have I seen a single software package hit the ground running as fast as this one. Since it’s introduction there has been a number books, Scott Kelby did a seminar tour across the country, Matt Kloskowski even produces a podcast/blog called Lightroom Killer Tips which is a hugely popular resource, and the list goes on. Back in October, RC and myself launched Layers TV which is basically the how-to podcast for everything Adobe. Meaning we cover all the apps like In Design, Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, and so on. It’s been off to a great start and we are having a blast making it. I have also had a blast bringing you some my coolest discoveries over the past year and can’t wait to bring you even cooler stuff over next year. It has just been a blessing to work next to industry giants like Scott Kelby, Matt Kloskowski, Dave Cross, Felix Nelson, and RC Concepcion and look forward to another innovative year here at the NAPP. Thank you everyone for the continued support here at Planet and at the NAPP. I wish everyone a very Happy New Year.
