Now that I own an excellent digital SLR camera, it’s time to stop dabbling in Photoshop and actually learn to use this photo-editing software. Adobe Photoshop is the standard among advanced amateur and professional photographers and it’s time for me (and maybe you?) to become a more competent user.

I’m about to earn a graduate degree in journalism from the University of King’s College in Halifax, N.S. While small, it’s got a big reputation for excellence.

As I walk around the campus, I see students of all ages using the tools of the trade in the Internet Age: iPods, cellphones, laptops and USB Memory Sticks.

Workshops feature everything from video editing software such as Final Cut Pro to audio programs such as Cool Edit for radio pieces. Computer labs are equipped with state-of-the-art hardware in both Mac and PC format. It’s a very digital, 21st-century campus.

In the span of just 20 years, the mythology of universities and colleges as bastions of pure intellectual and skill development has been shattered. The Ivory Tower hasn’t just got an upgrade – it’s the Silicon Tower now.

Press Release: Did you think Photoshop CS was too sloooow. Did the File Browser take forever to load your thumbnails? Were you using a bunch of different applications just to process your files? Do you have a need for speeeed? Well, Photoshop CS2 will accelerate your workflow. The old File Browser has matured, becoming an elegant and sophisticated separate application called Adobe Bridge which bridges the gap in workflow. It acts seamlessly with CS2 and other Adobe applications. In conjunction with Camera Raw 3, raw processing workflow has been completely re-tuned allowing work to really flow, enhancing digital processing, file management and generally reducing time while improving quality. Speed is fundamental for workflow and CS2 is all about SPEED.
