Dear Reader,

For years, thousands of people who have attended my seminars and workshops or read my book Adobe Photoshop Master Class and my columns in major magazines and websites, have asked me to do DVDs.

I've finally answered that call.

Two DVDs are now available.
1 Drawing with Light : 21st Century Dodging & Burning
2 Atmospheric FX.

Photographers with a more traditional approach will benefit from my DVD Drawing With Light. Those with a more experimental approach will find my DVD Atmospheric FX highly rewarding.

You get a pre-order discount now. Each title is $49.95 for a limited time only. You save $10 a title. This offer expires Monday, December 17, 2007. After that the price will be $59.95.

And, yes, they'll make excellent gifts for Photoshop users.

An ancient Chinese proverb speaks directly to the way we learn. "We hear and we forget. We see and we remember. We do and we know."

Reading is one of my favorite ways to learn. Watch a demonstration of the material you just read and the learning process takes a quantum leap. Combine this with hands-on exercises and the learning process takes another quantum leap.

Workshops and DVDs provide this.

If you've never attended one of my sessions, now you can experience them anytime, anywhere, and take them at your own pace. If you have attended one of my sessions these DVDs are excellent up-to-date refreshers.

Acme Educational is an artist's first initiative, where only the best content is offered and creators are given enormous editorial and creative control over their content. We get a substantially better percentage of the profits generated from our content; artists are finally compensated appropriately. Combine this with Acme's "why first, how second" philosophy and you've got unique high quality content you simply can't find anywhere else. (Our approach is anything but "cookie cutter" or "down and dirty".)

We invest an enormous amount of ourselves in our content.

We also collaborate with one another.

Stay tuned for even more unique content.

Best wishes,

John Paul

PS This content is so new it's not even on my website yet. We didn't expect it to be ready so fast. But, it's ready, so we're giving you this special preview.

Keep your eyes on acmeeducational.com. I've been spearheading a major revision of Acme's website that is still in process. Acmeeducational.com will be expanding in very interesting ways in the near future. Like what? How about a collective blog by Acme artists? I'll let you know when the website makes this major evolution.
