Adobe CS4 Officially Released: Related Links and Webcast Info

In case you haven’t seen the news, earlier today, September 23, 2008, Adobe Systems released a big update to the Creative Suite family of applications. There is a lot to cover, and after reviewing a number of resources that cover this news, I’ve highlighted a few sites that lead to more links, as well as some direct links to related info.

1. First, if you receive this e-mail in time, I recommend visiting this page to sign up for a live webcast to see many of the new features in the CS4 suite. I was unable to attend the 9am Eastern (EST) webcast, so I signed up for the 9am Pacific (PST) webcast.

2. Next, I recommend reading this post by John Nack, which will lead to many excellent resources.

3. And to see the full lineup of CS4 products and new/upgrade pricing (all of which include either Photoshop CS4 or Photoshop CS4 Extended), visit this page on Adobe.com.

4. There is also a very good overview of a late Beta version of Photoshop CS4 by Wayne Cosshall of DImageMaker.com here, with some mini tutorials.

Seth Resnick Special Event in NYC: 9/10/2008

I just received an e-mail announcement about an event that looks very interesting. Seth Resnick will be doing a special event entitled: R&R – Resilience & Rejuvenation – for the Digital Photographer in New York City at Adorama Camera on September 10, 2008 from 6:30-9:30PM.

This is a portion of the event description:

Join us as Seth shares anecdotes on dealing with clients, both for assignment and stock, favorite and most unusual projects and what drove him to tackle them, his observations on the state of the industry and his take on stock photography.

The cost of this seminar is $25, and each attendee, in exchange for a copy of their registration receipt, will be given a $25 coupon valid for 30 days towards the purchase of any merchandise when presented at Adorama’s retail store or online at www.adorama.com.

Seth Resnick is a great teacher and many people (including me) have benefited from his lectures at seminars and events like the PhotoPlus Expo. The D-65 Workshops he hosts with his partner Jamie Spritzer across the United States consistently sell out. They center around workflow using Photoshop, and they now include training with Lightroom 2.0.

This evening event is Sponsored by Adorama and Canon. For more information or to register, visit this page.

Two Fine-Art Printing Workshops Added: August 16 and 18, 2008

On Saturday, August 16, 2008 and Monday, August 18, 2008 from 10:00AM-5:00PM, I’ll be giving two separate fine-art inkjet printing workshops entitled: How to Prepare Files and Make Gallery-Quality Prints at Nancy Ori Studio in Berkeley Heights, NJ.

Three of the same full-day workshops have already filled, but as of today (7/8/2008), some space remains for these two. For a full description of these workshops, I’ve created a two page brochure with a full overview of the classes. You can download them below:
