Today Adobe announced the public beta for Photoshop CS6. If you haven’t already downloaded it, you can check it out on Adobe’s website. Photoshop CS6 introduces several new features and UI changes which will take some getting used to, so I decided to write this article detailing those which I believe are the most important. I’ll also give my thoughts on Photoshop CS6 as a whole, at the end. If you want more info on the new features of Photoshop CS6 and how to use them, check out Deke McClelland’s FREE Beta Preview Course at lynda.com.

The Game is Changing. You Should Be Too.
I’ve tried to write this article several different ways. In fact, this is probably the tenth revision so far. This time, however, I’m simply going to shoot from the hip and say what I feel. As many of you know the world of graphic design is something that is constantly evolving. Though some principles remain the same, the game is changing. Unfortunately, I don’t see a vast majority of designers changing with it. For decades the worlds of print and web design have resided safely in their own respective neighborhoods. Print lived in a high-rise penthouse, while web chilled out in a studio loft. Well, nowadays the web community is “movin’ on up” and the distinction between print design and web design is become increasingly difficult to discern. I’m of the opinion that we should no longer try to separate each other into categories like print or web, but merely call ourselves designers as a whole.
I’m Officially Joining lynda.com
I’ve been teasing for weeks now that I have a big announcement coming… Well, today is the day folks! Beginning February 6th, I will be officially joining the lynda.com team as a Staff Author. If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that I’ve been doing this training thing for quite some time. I’ve taken a few jobs and even tried to strike out on my own once or twice, but in the end I always felt as if something was missing. Now, with this new job at lynda.com, I’m able to fulfill my dream of doing what I love for a company I love and respect. The best part is that I only have to focus on one thing… Creating content! After all, that’s what I do best.
My First Series for Lynda.com
Well, the day has finally come when I can announce my first series with Lynda.com! Yep, that’s right as of this morning my first series entitled “Creating and Managing a Blog Network with WordPress” is now LIVE in the Lynda.com Online Training Library. Whew, does it feel good to finally say that out loud!
This course is 3+ hours of instruction on how to create, install, and manage a WordPress Multisite installation, so if you’ve ever been curious about Multisite or if you’re just looking to brush up on your skills, feel free to check it out! I’m very proud of this class and hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed developing and recording it. As I said, this is my first course with Lynda.com, but hopefully not my last.
