Yes, folks, you've been patient, and here's episode 7, with our first interview! Katrin Eismann is the Photoshop Diva, artist, teacher and author, and she shares her thoughts about all things Photoshop.

In this special hour long episode, David takes an in-depth look at Apple's new imaging application Aperture, and decides that Apple was indeed correct in stating that it's a companion, not a competitor, to Photoshop. Learn the good, bad and ugly about Aperture, and compete for a copy of Ben Willmore's "Photoshop CS2: Up to Speed" book (published by Peachpit Press) in this week's Photoshop trivia contest.

In this episode, David continues his 16 bit rant, speculates on Core Image coolness, tells a story about precision crosshairs for painting, reviews "How to Wow - Photoshop for Photography" by Jack Davis & Ben Willmore, and "Photoshop CS2: Up to Speed" by Ben Willmore, and shows a cool little trick using Fade Filter. There's also a new contest for a copy of the excellent Dan Margulis "Lab Color: The Canyon Cunundrum" book.

David gets into the advantages of working with 16 bits per channel and a Popular Science article on image forgery, reviews the Bruce Fraser "Camera Raw for Photoshop" book, links Emerson Lake & Palmer to the Crystallize filter (no kidding!), and tells you why iStockphoto.com rocks (thanks to listener Sean Collins for the tip).

This week, David shares his thoughts about the Adobe Stock Image collection, tells the sordid tale of Quark XPosure, discusses Hemera Photo Objects and quantitative image analysis. Also, win a signed copy of the cult collector's book "Photoshop Channel Chops" in the first Attention Photoshoppers! Photoshop Trivia contest.

This week, David talks about the Adobe-Macromedia merger, remembers XRes, reviews "Photoshop Masking & Compositing" by Katrin Eismann, shares some insights about the technical prowess of Adobe After Effects, and talks about the relationship between the size and resolution of an image.

It's the very first Attention Photoshoppers! In this episode, David introduces the show, looks at the incredible new book "Photoshop Lab Color: The Canyon Cunundrum and Other Adventures in the Most Powerful Colorspace" by Dan Margulis, talks about some early Photoshop history, and how to do perfect red eye removal in any version of Photoshop.
