Add as a preferred source on Google

Have you been meaning to hone in on your Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom skills? You can fall down the rabbit hole of tutorials on YouTube, or you can participate in online education company CreativeLive’s third-annual Photoshop Week, offering free streaming Photoshop and Lightroom tutorials by expert users.

CreativeLive offers a variety of live seminar videos in the fields of film, design, music, crafting, and business, taught by industry professionals. The seminars are free if you watch them live, but if you either missed an episode or want to save it, you can buy it. From February 23-28, Photoshop Week consists of six days filled with 49 Photoshop and Lightroom seminars, each 90-minutes long. Each day begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 6 p.m., and Photoshop Week will have something for all levels – from “10 Tips for Photoshop Beginners” to “Mastering the Pen Tool and Shape Layers.”

If you want to watch it free you will need to RSVP via CreativeLive’s website; or, if you want to purchase the whole week, the entire curriculum costs $299. Individual seminars costs $19. You can check out the breakdown of all the seminars and their time slots here.

Teaching the seminars include experts and professionals such as Dave Cross, Tim Grey, Jason Hoppe, Mike Kelley, Matt Kloskowski, Julieanne Kost, Jared Platt, Julia Kuzmenko McKim, Aaron Nace, Chris Orwig, Colin Smith, Paul Trani, and Ben Willmore. No, not household names, but they know their stuff (read their bios here).

All other seminars stream free on Creative Live’s site as well, so even if you’re not looking to brush up on Photoshop or Lightroom, there’s a wealth of more material to check out.

Google releases big v4.0 update for its popular Snapseed editing app on Android
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

After years of sitting on its hands, Google appears to have remembered it owns one of the best photo editing apps on mobile. Snapseed 4.0 is now rolling out to Android, bringing the platform up to speed after a stretch of iOS exclusivity that left Android users watching from the sidelines.

The story starts last June, when Google quietly broke Snapseed out of its long dormancy with a significant 3.0 update for iPhone. It was a surprise move that suggested the company was serious about the app again. Google then confirmed at the start of this year that Android wouldn't be left behind for long, and true to that word, the Play Store listing has now been updated to reflect version 4.0 — skipping straight past 3.0 for Android users and landing both platforms on the same version simultaneously.
