Hey guys.. its the official Countdown for Photoshop World. In two days, we launch the largest gathering of Photoshop fans in the Planet. Remember there is still time for you guys to come down to Orlando and check us out, so be sure to head over to the Orange County Convention center and do your walkup registration. Photoshop World is brought to you by the National Association of Photoshop Professionals – an organization that I am related to, and cannot speak any more highly of. Where else can you go to get together with 70,000 users and share tips, tricks, ideas, tutorials, and discounts? From its forums to its help systems, podcasts to learning centers – its an organization that is well worth the membership. If you arent a member, be sure to check it out. Im sure you will find it useful.

My partner in Layers TV Corey Barker has got a great tutorial on the newly redesigned Planet Photoshop. Make sure you stop by and check out how to animate color transitions in Photoshop CS3. Click here for the tutorial.

Check out another cool tutorial and our weekly contest after the jump!

Contest Time
This should be an easy one. In Photoshop, where can I find something called “Soft Omni”. Go to the Contact page. Click on the Send To drop-down and select “Layers TV”. In the form you can type your answer (“You can find “Soft Omni” In : ” ). Rember, This is also a good way to send us feedback.

The contest will close on Thursday 5PM, and the winner will be shown on Friday morning. As it turns out, I have yet another copy of The onOne Software Plug-In Suite 3! Genuine Fractals, Mask Pro, PhotoFrame and Intellihance – all for the taking. Special thanks to our buddies at onOne Software for the deal. Make sure you check them out!

So there you have it.. a quick and easy Monday morning. Have an awesome time, and remember to say hi if you are at the conference. We’ll be turning over the coverage over to Jennifer Bontempi at the Photoshop World Blog when we kick off Pre-cons. Have a wonderul one!
