Newsletter
Volume 3, Issue 11

Welcome to the May 2007 edition of the 
Simply Digital Newsletter! 

Last month I had the adventure of a lifetime when I was able to assist in teaching a week long photography/digital art seminar in Molokai, Hawaii, with some amazing artists: Theresa Airey, Rikki Cooke, Dewitt Jones, Lynette Sheppard, and Jonathan Kingston...I came home changed and inspired.

In on-going issues of this newsletter, I hope to focus more on photography, as well as provide tools and tips using technology to make it even more  beautiful, productive, and fun.

For starters, I created two sets of nature inspired collage papers, perfect for showcasing your photography, as well as using as an overlay layer blend to give your images more depth, texture, and details. If you are a professional photographer or graphic art, we have commercial use information available here.

This photo of me taken by Dewitt at sunrise on the coast of Molokai pretty much sums up how this art form makes me feel...alive!

Live it!

Quick Tip: Adobe Photoshop CS3 PhotoMerge

At the photography seminar, Jonathan Kingston gave an overview of all the awesome features in Adobe Photoshop CS3. If you haven't upgraded, give it a quick thought and then go for it, as there are too many new features to list. However, one of my favorites is the enhancement of the PhotoMerge function. At left is a favorite shot I took of the sea cliffs off the coast of Molokai. Breathtaking beauty.
