Although Photoshop doesn’t officially begin until tomorrow, the pre-conference day got off to an awesome start. I got downstairs thinking I might be the only one in line at about 9:30, man was I shocked to see about 200 people already in line waiting for registration / sign-in to begin. The folks at NAPP are pretty awesome, they made the process fast and it was highly efficient, definitely a great experience for this newbie.
After picking up my registration materials, I headed back upstairs to wait out the two hours until my pre-con class started (and to check out all of the stuff that came in my registration packet. Some of my favorite items in the packet would have to be the 20% off coupon for Nik Software products, my second favorite item is a discount offer for a Spyder3Studio or Spyder3Elite calibration system ($100 off the former and $50 off the latter when you place an order at the B&H booth at the Expo). Definitely items that I plan to look into! In addition to those great offers there are some great book specials and a list of presentations from PhotoshopCAFE.com that I do not want to miss.
When I finished going through the registration materials, I decided to check out the Photoshop World Workbook. Let me tell you folks, they aren’t kidding when they tell you it is as big as a phone book. This is one thick book and it is packed with information. I am honestly stoked about reading it. And by reading it, I mean the whole thing!
The next item on my agenda was my pre-con: Wedding Photo Shoot with David Ziser. I am definitely a David Ziser fanboy. I have seen all his Kelby Training videos, I have a couple of his DVDs, I have pre-ordered his upcoming book, and I have attended his Digital Wake-up Tour. The man is awesome. He can light photos like no other. If you haven’t checked him out, you should! The pre-con was great. From 12-6, we talked about all of the major steps involved in a wedding shoot with a huge focus on lighting. David worked with a model bride and groom and by the end of the session had produced several signature shots from the “wedding”.
Next up is the Tweet-up / Forum Party at the House of Blues and the week is just beginning.
Make sure you check out our Live Blog for the Photoshop World Keynote, I will be live blogging alongside Scott Bourne to bring you the news as it happens…

Posted in Fun, KeynoteHey hey! From the server racks it’s your favorite acts! Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you those angel voices from heaven back in 2007. Put your hands together for Scott Kelby and The Histograms!
Unless you attended Photoshop World 2006, you’ve never seen the “Photoshop Guys” tackle the world of CSI as only they can do it: with plenty of Photoshop references and tongue-in-cheek humor.
With the help of fellow Photoshop pros; digital photo-realist artist, Bert Monroy, popular “[Photoshop] For Dummies” author, Deke McClelland, and Kelby Media Creative Director, Felix Nelson, the guys solve a murder mystery “Creative Suite Instructor” style.
We’re not sure what’s funnier here, the spoof or the outdated Photoshop references! ;D The sound is a little low so, you may have to adjust your speakers. Special thanks to “The Scriv” and the rest of our awesome video team for creating and making all these lost gems available. Enjoy!
