Some of you have been asking when my Photoshop CS5 One-on-One: Advanced series is coming out. And I was all prepared to tell you this Friday. But lynda.com, being the incredible juggernaut of a video publisher that they are, began releasing it today. Chapters 13 thru 18 are up this very second. That’s more than 100 movies, so it should keep you occupied for now. (If not, I totally suck.) The remaining Chapters 19 thru 24 will be up in 10 days.

Here’s a live-action frame from the series. My director told me that, in retrospect, my spendy Elie Tahari shirt “looked a little disco.” Let me assure you that this is one of the best shirts I’ve ever owned. It’s a matte forest green with some excellent under-collar and inner-sleeve highlights. In the video, I don’t look disco, I look positively wet. Meaning that I glisten. Like someone is misting me. Which is not necessarily what you want in a training video. But it’s what you get.

That said, who gives a tinker’s gumph what I look like?

What matters is the quality of the training. Which is why I’m proud to announce that every ounce of this series is new. As in, totally new content. To examine a blow-by-blow table of contents, check out my Photoshop CS5 One-on-One: Advanced post from a few weeks ago.
