Adobe Photoshop Users Group meet at the Adobe offices in San Francisco

PSUG Member Petra Uebel, User Research Recruiter of Adobe Systems, Inc. has the following announcement to share:

Adobe Systems is running focus groups to gather the thoughts and opinions from people using Photoshop. We are interested in all levels of experience with Photoshop (including those that use Elements or Lightroom) and all ranges of photography experience. Simply, we are interested in learning about photography habits.

These focus groups will run either Wednesday or Thursday next week in our San Francisco office. We will be demonstrating some product details and would like to have a discussion about the demonstration and general workflow with photography. The focus group will last roughly 2 hours and we will provide lunch/dinner (depending on the time of day) and each participant will receive a $50 American Express Gift Check as a thank you for their time and feedback.

If you are interested in being considered for this focus group, please complete the survey screener.

Thank you for your time!

Where there is design, there is Photoshop. It is the tool for print, web design and photography enhancements and in the last two years, it has become the perfect tool for designing iPhone application interfaces. Whether you are part of an iPhone app project or want to design an iPhone app on your own, you need to understand the design intricacies of this new medium and adapt your Photoshop skills to create a successful iPhone app.

On Thursday, February 4th at 6:30 p.m., Marine Leroux of Bamboudesign Inc. will show how easy it is to design iPhone apps efficiently with Photoshop. Through a step by step method combined with tips for smart user experience design, she’ll guide you from sketching an app interface to designing it in Photoshop, building libraries and template files to expedite the design process. She’ll define Apple’s design requirements and the workflow between design, development, and publishing of an iPhone app to the App Store.
