These 30 Stunning Pictures Capture Children Playing Around The World
"It does not matter from which social class or ethnic group where they come from, children will always figure out a way to enjoy their innocent life. Their ways of playing are amazing, but they are given more beauty especially when they are captured by photographers. These are 33 images of children having fun around the world."

Acadia Astrophotography Workshops
Hi Lisa,
I just wanted to send you this information
about my new Acadia Astrophotography Workshops in case you wanted to
forward it along to any possibly interested parties. Thanks!
I'm now accepting bookings for a group
astrophotography workshop in Acadia on September 20th! See the link
below to read about and book the workshop. We will have about 2.5 hours
of good viewing of the Galactic Center of the Milky Way but will be
able to see the rest of the Milky Way all night. We will likely be
shooting around the cliffs of Otter Point. Due to the time of year, the
Milky Way will not really be in good position for shooting from places
like Boulder Beach. Please read everything on the page to make sure you
have all the required gear, understand the risks, and agree with the
timing and weather/refund policy. If we go ahead with the workshop but
clouds move in unexpectedly then we will do our best to find the stars
and practice night photography and work on editing tips.
I'm rolling out the workshops slowly at this point.
I'm limiting the workshop to 4 participants, and as of this writing 2
spots are still available. If it fills up I will consider doing another
group workshop on September 21st or 18th. I may also consider doing
workshops on August 22 and/or 23. If someone is interested in a private
workshop they can contact me directly, my only private workshop date is
booked at this moment, but I may be able to offer more around the above
dates.
Again, please read everything on the page first before booking! Thanks!!
Coming soon, editing workshops in Portland, Maine!

Important info on using PhotoShop via Cloud monthly subscription
Lisa -
These two questions in Tim Grey's daily column highlight something about using the PhotoShop via the Creative Cloud (monthly subscription) that I know was new information to me and is probably new info to many others, although many techies may be aware of it. Good info to disseminate via the blog.
Gary
Today's Question
|
In your Ask Tim Grey eNewsletter [on Tuesday, July 29th] you discussed Focus Area selection. I have Photoshop CC 14.2.1 and my PS shows "up to date". But under Select there is no Focus Area showing, even in gray. Any idea why I don't have the Select > Focus Area?
You do indeed have the latest version of Photoshop CC, but that is not the latest version of Photoshop. It seems there is a bit of confusion related to Adobe's latest updates for applications included in the Creative Cloud subscription. The initial release of Adobe's Creative Cloud applications were referenced as the "CC" version of the application, without any other version number indication. This is similar to the "CS" version of applications when Adobe launched the Creative Suite. Just as the Creative Suite version of applications reflected a new version with a number appended to the "CS", such as "CS2", the Creative Cloud applications have now received an updated version number of sorts. The only difference is that this new version numbering approach involves a year rather than a version number. So, while you have the latest version of Photoshop CC, you don't have the latest version of Photoshop CC 2014. Or, more to the point, you have not yet installed the 2014 release of Photoshop CC. Admittedly this change is a little confusing in the context of a Creative Cloud subscription. Up to this point, to update your Photoshop CC installation you would simply update via the Creative Cloud application. When you did so, your existing Photoshop CC installation would be updated to the latest version. Now, with the 2014 release, instead of a simple update you will have a completely new version of Photoshop installed alongside your prior version. So, for example, you will end up with a 2014 release of Photoshop CC along with the previous version of Photoshop CC. Once you have successfully installed and configured the 2014 release of Photoshop CC, you can uninstall the prior version of Photoshop CC. And once you do install Photoshop CC (2014) you will have full access to all of the latest features, including the Focus Area selection command that is new with this latest release of Photoshop. And then the follow up question to the first one.........
