Reflections on the Route CS6 tour so far and some pictures.
July 28, 2012 by 2 Comments
I just returned from a whirlwind tour of the East Coast. I had a fantastic time. it was great to visit Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, Washington DC, Miami, Boston and New York City. I have been teaching full-day Photoshop seminars to photographers and designers. It's a lot of fun to travel, however at times it gets a little bit tiring. Literally visiting a different city every two days can definitely mess with your schedule. It was very exciting to see a lot of café members out on the road. The turnout at the different cities was fantastic and people were very enthusiastic. We had a lot of … [Read more...]

Speaking at Media Camp Pro
July 3, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Something a little different for me. Presenting Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro CS5.5 to a group of Video Pros. The presentation went very well. In fact, I was supposed to repeat my session 2x, but not a single person left during the break, so we ventured into some uncharted territory and got a little deeper with After Effects new Warp Stabilizer and Camera Lens blur. I actually rendered out a depth map from Maya and added it to the video in AE and got some pretty good results. This is an area I'm experimenting more with. (Don't worry, my passion is still Photoshop :)) I did a … [Read more...]
