Welcome to my technology blog!
There are Creative Cloud updates rolling out across the world as we speak. Many of the desktop Apps are receiving some nice enhancements. Here are 5 of my favorites in Photoshop CC…

Adobe makes mobile apps for your iOS and Android mobile devices. Now that the iPad Pro is available people asking me more questions about running Photoshop or Lightroom or Illustrator on this big new FAST tablet? What’s the workflow? Why would I want to use an iPad instead of my desktop/laptop computer? Can I shoot tethered to it? How do I get my RAW files into it? How do I color calibrate it? Many of these questions are the same questions that people asked when the iPad was first introduced back in 2010 (yes it’s been 5 years already).
There’s a lot of excitement about the prospect of just carrying around this small, lightweight tablet and leaving your computer behind. While the iPad and now the iPad Pro are GREAT mobile devices, they were never designed to or intended to replace your desktop computers. First off let’s talk about RAM. Apple usually never shows the RAM of the iPad as a spec. I’m not talking about storage (16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB), I’m talking about the RAM that the Apps run in. Rumor has it that for the most part the iPads have had 1-2GBs of RAM. The NEW iPad Pro is rumored to have 4GB’s of RAM. Now pause and take that in for a minute. When was the last time you bought a desktop/notebook PC that you wanted to do production level work with only 2-4GB’s of RAM? How well would an App like Photoshop CC run in only 2GBs of RAM? We also don’t know how much iOS itself uses. Instead of trying to cram desktop apps into the much smaller footprint of an iPad or Android tablet/smartphone, Adobe has done the next best thing by taking the tasks that people do the most and making FREE apps to do those tasks.

Yesterday I was LIVE on the NEW twitch.tv/adobe channel. I had a 3 hour slot which gave me plenty of time to not only do a LIVE photo shoot with a model, but also to show most of my photography workflow in Adobe Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC.
You can see the replay here:

You’ve seen the sneaks and you’ve heard the rumors about a NEW professional level retouching App for your iPad or iPhone, well the wait is over. Adobe Photoshop Fix is here! Rather than tell you about it I’d rather show it to you in action:
Photoshop Fix is exactly the kind of App that I’ve been hoping for and it was a pleasure working with the team and providing feedback during the development.
You can get Adobe Photoshop Fix here from the:

Every time I show a shot of an Adobe office (like the Hong Kong office above – sorry for the upside down ID Pillow on the left) I get a flurry of questions on social media asking where can I get those?
Good news! You can order them right here.
They added a LR pillow recently. I hate to inform you that it may be out of stock at the moment as I just snagged the last two;-)
Cheers and happy decorating.
All new versions of your favorite Adobe creative applications are here! As you might expect it has been a busy few months for me not only getting up to speed on all that’s new for Design and Photography (the areas I focus on), but also creating content so that you can get up to speed quickly.
Last year when we released the 2014 Release of Creative Cloud there was a lot of confusion because the installer installed the new CC 2014 apps along side your existing CC apps. People didn’t know if they needed to keep the older apps installed or not. This time around the powers that be have decided that it’s best to “uninstall” your older CC applications by default. Of course you can choose NOT to do this if you want to hang on to your older applications. My colleague Jeff Tranberry has done a great job outlining what’s going here.
I just released 25 NEW videos outlining the individual top features of Photoshop CC, InDesign CC, Muse CC, Lightroom CC and the updated Mobile Apps. I put them all in a single playlist to make it easy on ya:
I’m off to bed now. Enjoy!
It seems like just yesterday that I was in Europe showing photographers how to take advantage of the Creative Cloud Photography Plan featuring Adobe Lightroom CC, Lightroom Mobile and Photoshop CC. It was a blast presenting at Fotofair in the Netherlands and special events in Paris and Milan.
I put together “my story” using my iPad and Adobe Slate to document the trip. Check it out here. My friend Victoria did an even more extensive Adobe Slate documenting the Milan visit here.
During my visit to Milan I met with reporters from Wired.it and Corriere.it. You can see the Wired story here and the Corriere story here.
I was also thrilled to see the Italian team put together this short video recapping my visit:
Thank you to all of you who came out to my events and sat in my presentations.

It’s almost time for my favorite conference, Photoshop World! It’s time to head back to Las Vegas and I’m really looking forward to it. Not only do I get to see so many of you, but I’m psyched about teaching some updated classes.
First up I’m teaching an updated “Intro to Adobe Muse CC” class. I did this class at Photoshop World in Atlanta and it went over great. This time I get to teach it on the brand new rewritten, 64bit native Mac/Win version. If you’ve always wanted to be able to create your own website, but don’t want to write code you’ll leave this class knowing how.
Also back by popular demand is my “Lightroom 5 Workflow” class. In this class I’ll take you through my Lightroom workflow from start to finish.
I’m also teaching a brand new “How to Edit Video with Adobe Premiere Pro CC”. This class is aimed at Photographers rather than videographers. I aim to cut through all the jargon and the interface to get right to the basics of how to edit video from your DSLR or other video cameras, smartphones, etc.
I’m also going to be doing short presentations in the Adobe booth on the trade show floor. I’ll be showing “Introduction to Creative Cloud”, “Photoshop CC Tips”, “New Tools for Designers” and “Lightroom 5 and Lightroom Mobile”,
Be sure to stop by and say that you read my blog and watch my videos, you never know what small giveaways I may have in my pocket.
