Photoshop Love Fest Starts Soon--O'Reilly Media Alert Photography Experts Head to Beantown

Sebastopol, CA -- March 29, 2007 -- Each year thousands of die-hard Photoshop aficionados from around the globe flock to Photoshop World Conference & Expo. This year fans are off to Boston. There, from April 3 to 6, conference goers can network, get the inside scoop on new products, and learn more about the latest tools and techniques. And with anticipation building over Adobe's recent announcement of its soon-to-be-released Creative Suite 3, you can bet filmmakers, videographers, graphic designers, as well as digital photographers, have zillions of questions about the new features and functions of this dynamic new software.

To answer these queries and more, along with assisting digital photographers at every skill level, O'Reilly Media is delighted to host many of its own bestselling photography authors at this year's expo. In a series of thought provoking and illuminating talks, these O'Reilly authors plan to share their knowledge at O'Reilly Booth #203.

"With the release of CS3, many photographers are wondering if they should stick with the Bridge workflow and all of its new enhancements, or consider Adobe Lightroom to manage their photography workflow," says Derrick Story, the digital media evangelist for O'Reilly, as well as the author of "Digital Photography Hacks" and "Digital Photography Pocket Guide." "I'm going to help answer that question by taking visitors to the O'Reilly booth on an accelerated exploration into Lightroom and its benefits for photographers. It's going to be fun."

Three of the O'Reilly authors signed on to speak at the booth are also members of the Photoshop World's All Star Dream Team--Katrin Eismann, Deke McClelland and Eddie Tapp. Katrin, an internationally acclaimed artist, bestselling author, and gifted educator, plans to share a sneak peek of "The Creative Digital Darkroom"--her soon-to-be-published book from O'Reilly. Deke intends to focus on insider tips for getting the most from CS3. And Eddie will share his practical, fail-safe techniques for producing the best color.

So stop by O'Reilly Booth #203 to meet and hear some of the digital media industry's most sought-after instructors and authors. We're also offering a 35 percent conference discount on every title.
