I came into the office this morning and was tickled to find a copy of Matt’s new book, Layers: The Complete Guide to Photoshop’s Most Powerful Feature. This was a labor of love for Matt Kloskowski – the book focuses on teaching you how to work with one of the most basic building blocks in Photoshop. After watching Matt teach sold out pre-conferences at various Photoshop Worlds, I was excited to see that he was able to distill all of that information down into one no-nonsense, let’s-get-right-down-to-it, book. You can’t talk about Photoshop without talking about Layers, and you can’t talk about Layers without learning about them from a real pro. Check out the jump for an extra surpise on the book, as well as some tutorials and news.

Before you go though… make sure to click on the link to the right and check out the new Layers TV episode! That said…

About Matt’s Layers Book
Now, you can pick up the new Layers book by going to Amazon.com , Barnes and Noble, or wherever fine books are sold. Here’s an even cooler kick though. I checked out the Kelby Training website, and if you order the book from the site, you will receive an autographed copy from Matt. That’s a neat deal. If you are a NAPP member, you even get a discount!

Tutorial Alert
This just in. Jeff Witchel brings us a cool tutorial on how to create a circle of stars using Adobe Illustrator. Make sure you check that out by going to our Tutorials area. Should be the first one on the list.

Photoshop TV on Fox Business News
I’m trying to stay up to check this out. In about an hour and a half, Photoshop User TV hits the airwaves on Fox Business News. It’s going to be awesome to see my co-horts in their inagural episode on the TV waves. I’ll wait to see if I can get by and bring them down some Pizza..

Have a great Thursday everyone!
