Headlined by Photoshop super instructor Michael Ninness, Photoshop LIVE is coming to Washington DC on Nov. 2, 2009. If you want to improve your Photoshop skills, and have fun doing it, you need to take a look at this affordable, two-day conference. And in fact, I can sweeten the pot even more because I have 10 conference passes to give away. More on that in a minute.
I'm teaching two courses myself: How Adobe Camera Raw Made Me Love Photoshop (which is a class I just love teaching to photographers) and Five Things Photo Hobbyists Need to Know About Photoshop CS4. And there are other great courses too. Here's just a sampling:
- Creative Black and White and Color Effects
- How to Retouch Like a Pro
- Get Smart: Smart Filters and Smart Objects
- Photoshop Power Shortcuts
And a whole lot more.

Wow! "How to make your Portraits stand out" with Lisa for sure! I have been checking out Lisa's recent portrait work and its amazing. Would love to learn from her.
I'm also interested in the "How to make your Portraits stand out". I've tried a number of techniques, and think I'm getting great pictures, but the ability to enhance in Photoshop has been quite elusive.
Thanks Derrick.
Derrick: There's a bunch of good stuff, but Lisa Bettany's "From Lightroom to Photoshop: A Look at my Personal Workflow" looks especially useful. I'm doing almost all my shooting in RAW on my Canon XSi and processing it in Lightroom. I'd love a chance to see exactly what a pro's workflow for that is.
Thanks for the chance at a free pass.
The conference looks amazing. I'm interested in attending Five Things Photo Hobbyists Need to Know About Photoshop CS4.
I'm with Adam and Steve up there in showing excitement for the portraits session. There's something about a well-done portrait that is always, always worth looking at.
Two whole days learning how to improve your photos by the pros? Sign me up!
I'm especially looking forward to the Photoshop Power Shortcuts course. Seems like a great time saver!
thanks
I would love to see "Finding Inspiration Though the Lens." I've been a fan of Chris Orwig for quite some time. That would be great!
I'm pumped to see Lesa Snider's "How to Retouch Like a Pro" seminar.
"How to Retouch Like A Pro" is something I would love to see!
I see you're at 10 but I still want to say that I'm most excited to experience "From Photo to Graphic Art". When one medium of art turns into another, it really shows the connectivity of art in general.
Thanks for this chance to attend!
Actually, Phillp, you're #10. One person had commented twice above. Congrats to all of our winners!
Sorry I didn't see this in time! The session I'm looking forward to most is "From Photo to Graphic Art"
Well, in case one of your winners can't make it...I'd love to see "Five Things Photo Hobbyists Need to Know."
