Some of the more highly anticipated features of Adobe CS4 showcased in the Layers CS4 Learning Center include: "No matter if you're a photographer, web designer, graphic designer, video producer, or art director, this learning center offers the most comprehensive CS4 coverage out there and is the perfect companion to what you'd expect from the Layers magazine team." "We really pulled out all the stops on this one," he said. Scott Kelby, publisher and editor of Layers magazine, expressed his excitement about the expansive content the Layers CS4 Learning Center offers. Professional Portrait Retouching Techniques for Photographers Using Photoshop: $49.The Layers CS4 Learning Center contains more than 40 video tutorials by well-known creative pros from across the United States, including: Scott Kelby, Matt Kloskowski, RC Concepcion, Dave Cross, Tom Green, Cheryl Graham, and Corey Barker. Buy both.’ It doesn’t get any more unbiased than that. My company produced all these books (just so you know), but I asked a random reviewer (my wife) what she thought, and she said, ‘My husband’s books are awesome. and my Professional Portrait Retouching Techniques for Photographers Using Photoshop. RC Concepcion’s book, The HDR Book, focuses on postprocessing in Photoshop, and it’s been a megahit. People are losing their minds over this book.
Matt Kloskowski’s new book, Photoshop Compositing Secrets, is (I truly believe) the best book ever written on the topic. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention our own books, because they make really great gifts. With that being said, we’re ready to take the wraps off these year’s Gear Guide picks. (2) If a product makes the guide, it has to be one I would recommend to a close friend without hesitation. To be listed here, they have to be: (1) Products that I use myself, and that I absolutely love, and now can’t live without. These are my self-imposed guidelines for which products make it into the guide. Anyway, the Gonzo is out, the Awesome is totally in, and this year’s guide is packed with some really cool stuff that we absolutely, positively don’t need on any level, but we desperately want nevertheless because that is, after all, half the fun! The Rules: I think what makes it extra awesome is that I purposely avoided choosing any really expensive gear for the guide, and instead, I really tried to focus on choosing great value-for-the-money gear.
However, I know what Awesome means, and that’s exactly what’s in this year’s edition (Yay-wild cheers ensue!). If you’ve been a faithful reader of this blog for the past five years, you probably remember back when it was called my Gonzo Holiday Gear Guide, but last year I dropped the Gonzo because, honestly, I really have no idea what Gonzo actually means.
