I Want My Adobe TV

Adobe makes a lot of programs and is, by far, the world's leader in imaging and design applications. However, with so many programs that have so many features, it's nearly difficult for a photography newcomer to know exactly what they need and how to make the most use of the software.

There are countless training books, Web sites and support organizations designed to help out the Adobe program user. And now Adobe has taken training one step further with a new service, Adobe TV (tv.adobe.com) that's designed to provide free training videos to users of their products, with both Adobe-developed and third-party-licensed content. It's an all-in-one location for training information and it's a fantastic, free resource.

My favorite videos come from Adobe's Julianne Kost and Russell Brown (the Alton Brown of Photoshop), both of whom know more about Photoshop in their pinkie than I know after a dozen years of using the program.

There are also behind-the-scenes videos with the developers, though I'm not sure how much watching someone play disc golf is going to help most users in the long run, but it puts a nice human side to the programs we use so often.



The latest addition to the PDN family, the PDN Gear Guide in print, has a total circulation of 30,000, and covers the latest and greatest in photographic equipment. Initially created in 2006 to be the official guide to PDN's annual flagship photography event, PDN PhotoPlus International Conference + Expo, the PDN Gear Guide is now also available online for gear news and updates 365 days a year.
