I'm back from one of the most exhilirating, educational and inspiring conferences I've ever attended! Photoshop World was a blast.
In keeping with the title of this post, here are the top five things I learned at Photoshop World:
- A few quick and easy techniques for selecting hair in photographs.
- A better way to use (and also explain) that fear-inducing feature called Curves in Photoshop.
- The fastest way to convert a color image to black and white without losing contrast.
- How to create a realistic duct tape image.
- A quick and easy way to create that reflection technique that's all the rage in advertising.
I'm sure these techniques and more will show up in my designs, classes and this blog in the near future. But the biggest lesson I learned wasn't a lesson but a reminder. Even after over 10 years of being a Photoshop user, there's always something new to learn about creative ways to use this amazing tool. And that's why I love it so much!
I think the best part of the conference, though, was catching up with old friends Lesa Snider-King, Ben Willmore and Terry White. Scott Kelby, who not only teaches but hosts the event, even had a few seconds to say hi! Yeah, I'm dropping names. But there's no shame in my game when it comes to these luminaries! Not only are they Photoshop wizards...they're really nice people, too!
All-in-all, I'd have to say last week was a great week!
later...
