» Real Monday News

The weekend is over and everything is back to full swing. Below are the news:

• Are you a keynote user? If you are a mac user and not a keynote user you really should be! In any case, iPresentee has released a lot of free objects (100 of them in fact) for both Keynote, Pages and iWeb! They are really cool and yeah, they are indeed free. Visit the iPresentee site to download.
   
• A little sneak-peak at the future. I’m working on a DVD, unluckily for most of you guys, this first will be about Photoshop Elements and only available in Swedish here in Sweden in one place. I might make the DVD available for order online here (I probably will) but I talked to the boss at the camera store where I work and asked if I could provide a DVD that he can sell/pack with the Elements purchases and I got an OK, so I’m at least getting out there.
   
• I’ve been a NAPP member for a little longer than a year and I really like it and if you’ve been thinking about it, now it s great time to join. Why? Because it is summer and you most likely have a lot of time to learn. Now, NAPP isn’t just about tutorials but also about a great member forum and lots of discounts, reviews and more. Go and visit the NAPP Site.
   
• The top photo is another one from my trip this weekend! Enjoy and see you back tomorrow!
