January 2014 Update: See What’s New in Adobe Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC and InDesign CC

PS-AI-ID-Totem

It’s 2014 and of course that means that we’re in for new feature updates for our Adobe Creative Cloud applications and services. I’m pleased to give you for first look at the first wave of new features for Adobe Photoshop CC, Adobe Illustrator CC and Adobe InDesign CC. There are over 20 new features among the three apps and now there are more than 900 Typekit Desktop Fonts for your design use. Rather than simply tell you about these features I figured it was easier to show you:

NAPP and Kelby Online Training become KelbyOne

kelbyone-design

I know that many of you are Photoshop users and chances are you were part of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP). I also know that many of you love online training and chances are you part of Kelby Online Training. If you were part of either of these two programs it just got a lot better for you as they just merged into one, actually KelbyOne. I’m thrilled about this change because it could be confusing at times as to which one to become a part of, especially if you were a graphic designer. It also means that they will focus on more than just Photoshop and photography. As a matter of fact I recorded three NEW classes for KelbyOne that should be released soon!

Scott Kelby, a good friend of mine has posted this video to tell you more about it:
