Howdy Folks,

Sorry for the late post this week…no good excuses either, just the usual craziness (:

So I found this seriously cool new thing to do with Photoshop this morning. This really bright (assumably) former student of USC figured out how to use Photoshop and Java script to decode blurred words. I know, right?! That’s insane! Imagine the possibilities if you could figure this out! Conceivably, you could decode the blurry words on your nightly news and put all your paranoid delusions about the cops lookin’ for you to rest! (Oh wait, that’s probably my delusion…um, yeah….) The guy’s page is also VERY cool in itself, but I hope the guy doesn’t get sued by Steve Jobs over Dock-like appearance of his uhh…dock, at the bottom of his website: http://tlrobinson.net/. Here’s his blog post on Recovering Censored Text: http://tlrobinson.net/blog/?p=52.

Scott Kelby’s guest blogger this week is from one of my all-time favorite Photoshop Instructors, Ben Willmore. The guy’s just brilliant. But what makes him really special is his graciousness and willingness to share his knowledge without sounding superior. If you ever get the chance to check out one of his seminars, Do It! You’ll learn so much about Photoshop it’ll blow your mind. Anyway, check out his post on Scott’ blog here.

Photoshop doods and doodettes, do you have skillz? I mean, maaaaadddddd Photoshop skillz? Then your time to shine is almost here! Beginning November 1st, NAPP Headquarters will begin accepting entries for one of the most respected—and most coveted—awards in the digital arts industry, the Photoshop User Awards. Go check it out and get your submissions ready. Good luck to all!

John Nack, Product Manager for Adobe Photoshop, has finally won a battle he began many, many years ago. Check out the debut of the Adobe Configurator. Folks, Photoshop will never be the same after this (literally lol).

Well, I think that wraps is up. Y’all have a great week and a wonderful weekend. All the best!
