Test out the new Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1
Entry posted on Oct 22 by Cyndi Reese

Adobe Labs at http://labs.adobe.com/ is the place where you can try out new technologies from Adobe. This is often a place where Adobe will let the public beta test new software before it is released.

Today, Adobe announced Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 beta. It's heralded as a "new version that focuses on the fundamental priorities of customers: performance and image quality"

Do you avatar?
Entry posted on Oct 15 by Cyndi Reese

I've changed the bottom display of the NBAUG (North Bay Adobe User Group) so that ALL members are listed, even if there is no avatar (picture) for the member. The way that NBAUG was originally set up was so that ALL members would be listed if you clicked on the top link at the NBAUG website and only members with avatars would display at the bottom of the website.

It confused some folks into thinking that they weren't members when the bottom area did not display their name. (I guess that nobody wanted to look at the member list using the top hyperlink)

So... the sooner you log in to the NBAUG website and edit your profile to include an avatar (you'll upload it), the sooner we'll be able to see your smiling face. Or dog. Or favorite flower. Or whatever represents you best.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

So, what's your picture?

Cheers, Cyndi Reese. NBAUG manager.

Adobe's big MAX conference is held in LA this year. Read on for special discounts, especially to students!

One Day Pass – If you can’t be onsite the whole show but want to attend all the MAX activities for one full day (this includes all keynotes, sessions, meals, and parties happening that day), this is a good option. The standard price for a one-day pass is $595 but if you use this discount code: DAY941 you save $100.

There’s also the special student rate announced last week ($199 for a MAX pass if you have a valid student ID and use promo code STU691
