For Immediate Release
New Title In "Photoshop
Inside & Out" Video Learning Series Released
"Welcome to Photoshop 5.0 [Part Two]" Includes
Advanced Applications for Photoshop's New Features
(San Rafael, CA) December 12, 1998 - IDIG, Inc. (Interactive
Digital Intelligence Group) today announced release of the second
video in its new "Photoshop Inside & Out" learning series, "Welcome
to Photoshop 5.0 [Part Two]". This video continues an exploration
of the newest version of Photoshop, with detailed explanations
and advanced applications of the software's new features. The
video utilizes advanced video production technology and computer
visualizations and animations in ways that few, if any, instructional
videos have ever attempted. Running time is approximately two
hours. Availability is immediate, with a retail price of US$59.95.
All tapes are available in both NTSC (North American standard
television) and PAL (European) formats, and are closed captioned.
Orders may be placed online through the Photoshop Inside & Out
web site, www.photoshopio.com, or by calling 1.415.460.6889.
The video is hosted by David Biedny, noted master Photoshop
expert and instructor, and co-author (with Bert Monroy and Nathan
Moody) of several bestselling books on Photoshop, including
the very first book ever written on Photoshop, "The Official
Adobe Photoshop Handbook", and one of the most advanced books
currently on the market, the critically-acclaimed "Photoshop
Channel Chops" (New Riders Publishing).
The emphasis of all of the tapes in the "Photoshop Inside &
Out" series is on helping users solve real-world imaging problems,
while learning the techniques required for creative imaging
problem-solving. Instead of the standard approach of command
memorization, David Biedny, and the hosts of the other tapes,
concentrate on building critical and analytical techniques while
working in Photoshop: the overall goal is to teach Photoshop
users to learn how to "think" Photoshop, preparing them for
any imaging challenge they might encounter. In addition, Biedny¹s
extensive production credentials give him a degree of knowledge
and professional credibility which significantly enhances the
value of the "Photoshop Inside & Out" video learning series,
for everyone from beginners to seasoned professionals.
"Welcome to Photoshop 5.0 [Part Two]" includes detailed discussions
of Advanced Spot Color Channel Techniques, the Channel Mixer,
16-bit operations, the Automate Menu, the Measuring Tool, using
Multiple Color Samplers, the 3D Transform Filter, how to Transform
Selections and Paths, improvements to Indexed Color and the
Profile to Profile command.

an entire catalog of tapes, covering a wide range of topics
