This book has some very good, practical lessons for bringing the novice up to speed as well as the seasoned pro to the latest new features. I’d give it an A+. Being able to follow along on the enclosed DVD (which, of course, you can stop at will to practice a certain step repeatedly) as well as review with the text is an excellent way to “sharpen the saw” and keep up to date with current design/production demands.

New Look

Christmas came a little bit early this month.

The D-Mag.org site has a new classier look and feel. The new theme is cleaner, easier to navigate, and has provides a better viewing experience amongst common browsers. I've tested it using Opera 10, Firefox 3, Safari 4, and there was another one... Oh yeah and even Internet Explorer 7 and 8 and it looks equally nice across the board.

I hope everyone like the new look.

Best Regards,

David

Digital Film Tools - January 2010 Sponsor

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you know that I was able to secure a new sponsor for us that will provide 1 Photoshop plugin for us to raffle this coming meeting and year.

The first plug-in we will give away, EZmask2, looks to be really good if it does what it says in relation to masking hair. IF it works it will be worth its weight in gold alone.

Here is their website for EZmask: http://www.digitalfilmtools.com/ezmask/ Look forward to seeing you all at the January meeting.

Enjoy the break!
