Deke McClelland and lydia.com offer free Photoshop CS3 video training

Continuing on with the Photoshop CS3 themed news, bestselling author of Adobe Photoshop CS2 One-on-One Deke McClelland and lydia.com offer free Photoshop CS3 video training and Photoshop trainer extraordinaire, Deke McClelland, stands ready with a training video that covers CS3′s terrific new features. Called Photoshop CS3 Beta One-on-One Preview, this large-format 90-minute video series is available for FREE from Deke’s online media partner, lynda.com.

According to Deke, “Photoshop CS3 Beta is something very new, a free upgrade that’ll work until the fully developed program ships next year. The day Adobe’s download link went live, lynda.com posted my ‘Photoshop CS3 Beta One-on-One Preview’ video series. These aren’t demonstrational videos–they’re the very first full training package on all the new features, big and small, complete with a live-action introduction and step-by-step exercise files. And it’s totally free, to lynda.com members and non-members alike. Combined with my Adobe Photoshop CS2 One-on-One book from O’Reilly, you have everything you need to know about Photoshop CS3.”

Here are just some of the cool CS3 tools Deke features in his new video:

  • The reconfigured yet more highly efficient workspace with a brand new docking system
  • A Loupe feature that allows you to magnify an image from the Bridge without opening it, so you can evaluate focus and detail
  • The upgraded and newly effective Brightness/Contrast command
  • The Auto-Align and Auto-Blend features, which merge scenes and scans seamlessly
  • Nondestructive application of Photoshop filters, dubbed Smart Filters
  • The ability to “swing” perpendicular planes to different angles in Vanishing Point 2.0

A trusted Photoshop trainer and author of more than 80 books over his 20-year career, Deke brings his enthusiasm, wit, and practical advice to this latest video. He’ll cover all the tips and tricks along with old and new features alike, in his next book, Adobe Photoshop CS3 One-on-One, coming from Deke Press/O’Reilly in a few months.
