So.. another week has gone by, and we’re closer to Photoshop World 2008 – Orlando. I have to tell you, I’m really excited about it. Aside from getting a chance to check out all of the cool classes – it’s such an awesome way to hang out with several thousand fans of Photoshop and just go back and forth with everyone on tips, tricks, and techniques. Someone stopped me last year in Vegas and said “You know, I’m always busy at work, and my friends don’t really use Photoshop to the level I work with it. This is like making tons of new friends that do exactly what I do.” We hear you, loud and clear. Make sure you stop in and say Hi when you’re there. We love hearing from all of you.
This brings me to Scholarships – did you know that we give 25 students a FREE Photoshop World ticket?! Did you also know that we have a scholarship that pays for the Airfare, Hotel, AND Photoshop World conference for one educator? It’s too good to be true.

I would just like to add what a wonderful opportunity the student scholarship is for a young person. A few years ago, I recommended another teacher submit a student whose skills in Photoshop were amazing already and she won a scholarship. It’s a great opportunity and could very well be a life-changing experience for a young person.
Blessings,
Doug
