My family is launching an art business that is digital reproductions of the family's original works. My brother Brian is a digital photographer and the resident Photoshop guru and he's learned a lot about Photoshop from Greg Apodaca who has a website with video tutorials for Photoshop. Brian likes to learn from others whereas I like to teach myself. *g* If you want more resources I can ask Bri.

Thanks for the link. I'll definitely check it out. I'm one of those "learn by doing" folks. Give me the program, give me clear instructions and projects and turn me loose. Eventually I'll get the hang of it. I get better at Fireworks all the time, but Photoshop is just arcane.

But since Adobe bought Macromedia, I figure I'd better learn more of Photoshop.

Adobe abought Macromedia? Sweet. Maybe now I'll be able to tolerate learning flash. "A fusion of Flash and PDF technologies is also predicted." omg... native animation in PDFs? Oh man... *leers*

Adobe 7 Professional with some plug-ins has the ability to add 3D animation to your PDFs!

But with 7 as is you can go to a website with an animation on it, click the convert webpage to PDF toolbar button, and the PDF will include the animation on the page.

The interesting part about what Adobe is doing now is that they seem to be standardizing their products in much the same way Microsoft did. The Bridge in CS2 works the same way as Organizer in Acrobat. Learn one product, don't be lost in another...
