Welcome
I want to welcome back for our fourth newsletter. I just got back from a week's vacation in the Florida Keys and I am a little behind.  Someone asked me about free training videos for Photoshop so I decided since it is kind of a pain to figure out how to sign up for podcasts in iTunes, I would do a tutorial on it.


This Month's Tutorial
The first step is to download the latest version of iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes.  Once that is done, open the application. Now you will click on "Music Store" on the left menu (highlighted in red).

The next step is to click on 'Podcasts'.

Now you will look just a little to the left (you may need to scroll down) and click on 'Technology'.

You will now need to do a little looking (since there were 5 pages as of today of Tech podcasts). I found that it was easier to change the 'Sort by' option to 'Name' instead of 'Popularity'.  Once you find the 'Photoshop TV' podcast, click the 'SUBSCRIBE' button. Now if you click on the 'Podcasts' link on the left side, there will be an "Update" button in the top right, you can click it and you will see a list of tutorials you can then watch.

Enjoy!

PS - There are TONS of awesome (and free) podcasts available here - take a look around.


Resources
Here is where I will tell you about resources for learning Photoshop.

NAPP
Membership for one year is only $99 and in addition to getting 12 issues of their magazine, you will often get a free dvd, booklet and cd filled with training videos, samples and tutorials. You also get various discounts on car rental, services at Kinko's, as well as a website filled with thousands of tutorials. If you think you might be interested, pop on over - you will love it.

Canon Photoworkshop
Canon has some online learning for their EOS camera.  Some of the training is generic enough for any camera.  You may want to give it a look.

Free Web Seminars
I came across a bunch of seminars from Adobe - check them out.


Closing
Here end our fourth newsletter - I hope you found it to be helpful and interesting. I am willing to go in whatever direction everyone wants just take a moment to send me your thoughts. Was this too basic? Too advanced? Just right? Drop me a line at stjacobphotoshop@klompy.net and let me know. If you have a question send it in and I will give you something.

Thank you very much.
