On Thursday, June 3rd the Photoshop Users Group comes together to withJohn Lund “The Stock Photo Guy” who will share his work from twenty years of professional Photoshop use, how it has changed over the years, and, just as importantly, how it has remained the same. He will show his favorite projects, share some before and after images and discuss how he gets his ideas as well as explaining his approach to creating new photographic realities.

Join us for an informative evening and take your Photoshop projects to a new level of excitement. RSVP now as space is limited.

The Adobe Experience Design department is conducting exploratory research to learn about the technologies that photography professionals and enthusiasts are using for their workflows. We need your help to continue to grow and produce products that are what our customer demographics need and want.

This research study will be a conversation with the participant
about their technology use and what they would like from
products in the future to support their professions and
hobbies. These conversations will take roughly 90 minutes to 2
hours and participants will be compensated for their time.

To determine qualification for this study, we have created a
survey screener to help us quickly obtain information about
your work and technology use. If you are interested in being
reviewed for participation, please complete the survey located
at the link below.

At the May 6th Photoshop User Group meeting in San Francisco, Webvanta will be launching PSD-to-Web, a new service for designers using Photoshop (or other tools) that turns their visual designs into live websites.

PSD-to-Web is a significant step forward from traditional PSD-to-CSS/HTML conversion offerings, providing a complete solution instead of just some static pages. It furthers our commitment to reducing the time and effort involved in building great sites.
