Postscript (After the show)
Abstract:
AFTER MACWORLD...
It was a good show. I didn't
spend too much money. I found some things I wish I could
buy...
I was especially impressed by the talk by Scott
Kelly, who spoke about some of the features in PhotoShop CS. It is a very
impressive product! Kelly is a real PhotoShop magician and a good speaker. He
makes it all look so easy! I wish I could remember all his tips! There is a
National Association of Photoshop Professionals that sounds like a great
organization for PhotoShop users.
The Adobe
Creative Suite is very impressive. There is a new add-on for InDesign to
address the needs of migrating PageMaker users. The Pagemaker Plug-in pack for
InDesign adds some nice functionality, like working with data bases to do a data
merge, as well as bulleting and automatic numbering (as Word
does.)
Rick Smolan was here today, I am sorry
I missed him! The folks at Epson showed new scanners, it's amazing how fast
last years kick ass hardware becomes feeble and obsolete in a year. The folks
at Nikon said a new camera is coming out in about a month. I saw the new
CoolScan V, I liked that! Otherwise, I was very impressed with the Canon Rebel.
I bought an enclosure for my iPod. I also bought a copy of Disk Warrior and
Master Juggler. I also got a one year subscription to the VersionTracker
Pro/MacFixIt Bundle.
I found out some
solutions to work flow problems printing to IP printers from Quark. I talked to
the Apple folks about Panther upgrade paths. I will learn more when I come back
on Friday! I am currently at the SF Bay Area InDesign User Group meeting, so I
gotta go!
