Announcing Photoshop Tip Tuesday

Welcome to all the KJ fans visiting my humble website today. If you caught the announcement on Kevin’s blog, you know we’re teaming up to bring you a new Photoshop or Lightroom tip on Tuesdays each week. The best part of this series is we’ll be responding to your questions! You can get started by connecting with us:

1. Leave comments on the blog.

2. Follow Kevin and Follow me on Twitter, you can @reply us there.

3. If you missed a video, subscribe to the YouTube channel.

For all the new folks, here’s a primer on why you’d choose Lightroom vs Bridge, my thoughts on Aperture 3 compared to Lightroom 3, and learn how Lightroom manages your image metadata.

I hope you’ll find Photoshop Tip Tuesday to be an essential part of your Internet fare, checkout this week’s episode, and watch next week as I talk about Content-Aware Scaling in Photoshop.

FollowFriday – Week of 05/10/2010

Twitter Follow Friday

Time for this week’s #FollowFriday or #FF blog post. Once again, I’m pulling entries I’ve posted over on the Mr. Tweet service. You can see my running list of recommendations on Mr. Tweet. Today’s tweeps of note:

@JohnPoz – the man behind the website analytics gift that is Woopra, I met John P at Photoshop World, Las Vegas. He spins a few tales over at One Man’s Blog, a website infamous through its use of Lady Gaga imagery.

@forces2 – he refers to himself as the DJ of recycled jokes. I enjoy his 140 wit, late at night when I’m knockin’ out work.

@HeathRowe – his blog is great source of Adobe developer info with tutorials on Photoshop & Fireworks just to name a few.

@JustinSeeley – what can I say about Justin? He’s the man behind the Photoshop QuickTips podcast, a staple on most iPods everywhere. He’s seemingly everywhere with a blog & social media company.

@Landailyn – photo restoration artist Janine Smith is one of my cohorts over at TipSquirrel. A Photoshop Guru Award winner, Janine is a star on the rise.

Alrighty, that wraps up today’s #FollowFriday listing. Have a great weekend!
