Last week, listener Jeff Schmidt sent in a link to a cool site that's documented the history of the Photoshop application interface. You can find it here

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.

You've found my new Podcast show, all about the fascinating realm of all things Photoshop. My name is David Biedny, and if you've been using Photoshop for any length of time, you've probably come across one of my books or videos. I was one of the very first people to ever actually see and use Photoshop, and was the principal author of the very first Photoshop book EVER, "The Official Adobe Photoshop Handbook" (Bantam), as well as the cult classic "Photoshop Channel Chops" (New Riders). I'm currently a Contributing Editor for MacAddict magazine, where you can read my product reviews just about every month.

My goal is to make this show the definitive destination for Photoshop related news, history, book and product reviews, tips, tricks and anything that makes your Photoshop work more fun and engaging. We'll be talking to prominent people in the Photoshop industry, artists who are creating cool work and developers making the next great plugin or companion product, as well as the authors who have spawned the massive aftermarket of Photoshop books. Any of you who have listened to "The David Biedny Zone" on Gene Steinberg's "Tech Night Owl" internet radio show already know that I'm just a little opinionated, and I'll continue that tradition on "Attention Photoshoppers".

If you want to get in touch with the show, ask a question about Photoshop, or offer an opinion of anything on the show, you can reach us at attentionphotoshoppers@gmail.com .

So sit back and enjoy the show!
