Photoshop World Boston sold out. Free Tech Expo passes still available.

Organizers of the Photoshop World Conference & Expo, scheduled for April 4-6 at the John B. Hynes Convention Center in Boston, are pleased to announce the east coast conference is sold out.

“The fact that Photoshop World is sold out for the first time ever just shows the incredible interest in Photoshop CS3, and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom — Adobe’s new workflow application for pro photographers — which are both playing a starring role in this year’s conference,” said Scott Kelby, conference technical chair and editor-in-chief of Photoshop User magazine. “We couldn’t be more excited — not only at shattering our east coast conference attendance record, but for what this means for our entire industry.” Kelby added.

Although the conference has sold out, Photoshop World will open its Tech Expo to the public for one day only on Thursday, April 5 from 10:00am — 5:00pm at the John B. Hynes Convention Center. The Tech Expo is a perfect opportunity for creative professionals and students to get a look at tomorrow’s technology and mingle with industry experts, including Adobe, Microsoft, Epson, CDW, Canon, Dell, Wacom, Corel, on0ne Software, iStockphoto, and more.

“Free” expo passes are available online prior to April 5 at Photoshop World Tech Expo or by calling 800-738-8513. Tech Expo admission is USD$20 per person at the door.

Additionally, Tech Expo attendees will have access to free Photoshop and digital imaging bonus classes offered at the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) Expo Theatre and the Microsoft Expo Theatre.

The next venue for Photoshop World Conference & Expo will be Las Vegas, Sept. 6-8 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. Registration will open with a special USD$100 advance registration discount.

Jack Davis’ free Adobe Photoshop Lightroom presets available for download

420657055 c8c2bed55c m Jack Davis free Adobe Photoshop Lightroom presets available for downloadFrom a tip on John Nack’s blog, I’d like to point Adobe Lightroom users to this page on onOne Software’s website where they have made available for free download a set of 85 presets designed by Photoshop Wow Book author, Jack Davis.

Designed to work the way you work, the PhotoPresets with One-Click WOW! tackle only one development parameter allowing you to optimize your image at each step to create the look you really want without sacrificing any quality. Rather than bloated presets that control all the variables at once and make adjustments that you may not like and you have to hunt down to fix. You start with adjusting your images color and tone and then can add effects like black and white conversions, tinting, split-toning and vignetting. With over 80 presets the number of combinations is astounding. Here are some examples of what you can do with PhotoPresets with One-Click WOW!

There’s not much more to say: if you use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, these babies are free for the downloading–go get ‘em!
