Join us for an evening with Mark Fitzgerald, Adobe Certified Photoshop Expert and author of “Photoshop CS4 After the Shoot”, as we explore the recently released Photoshop CS4. Our exploration will begin with Photoshop’s redesigned user interface. This updated UI allows users to easily access features that used to be buried in various menus, making it easier to arrange and view open documents. It also allows you to work with your documents in new ways, using tabs, smoother panning and zooming, and the cool new tool that lets you non-destructively rotate the canvas for easier painting and masking.

Mark will also demonstrate some of the new and improved features, including:

The new Adobe Kuler panel that allows you to explore, create, and share color themes with an online community. Browse thousands of themes and even download them directly into your swatches panel, or upload your themes to share with others.

  • Two new panels - the Adjustments panel for quickly creating adjustment layers, and the new Masks panel that allows you to painlessly create and manage layer masks in ways never possible on previous versions of Photoshop.
  • The cool new Content Aware Scaling feature lets you to protect parts of an image as you scale its size. For example, if you’re scaling a photo of a building to make it taller, you can protect a person standing in front of it so they don’t get scaled too.
  • The Auto Blending feature that allows you to selectively choose tones, colors, and focal point from a range of images as they’re merged into a single image.
  • New soft-proofing feature for the color-blind individuals using Color Universal Design Organization profiles.

Updated print dialog that provides superior color management and the ability to preview out-of-gamut areas of the image in the print dialog.


Mark will give us a tour of the new and faster Adobe Bridge CS4. He’ll demonstrate how it’s been redesigned to make file management even easier. Then Mark will show us a few secrets to speeding up the workflow using some of the nifty tools buried in the menus. He’ll also demonstrate the new Output module that lets you easily create web galleries and contact sheets directly from Bridge.

We’ll also be looking at Adobe Camera Raw 5 and some of its new tools, including the localized corrections and post-crop vignetting. Mark will discuss the raw file format and explain why it’s become the standard for serious photographers. Then he’ll demonstrate the raw conversion workflow so that you know how to convert your own raw files in Photoshop CS4.

If you’re already using Photoshop CS4, this presentation will point out many of the new features that you may not have seen yet. If you haven’t seen CS4, this will be your chance to get a close look at what all of the excitement is about.
