Photoshop user groups?

[Walter Foscari]

For the photoshop savvies here, what's a good user group/forum out there for photoshop specific q/a and discussions?

Thx

Hi Walter,

Try photoshop cafe - they have a set of tutorials AND a forum.

I used to like Planet Photoshop a while ago, but they seem to have changed ownership and appear to be more commercially geared now.

And of course, you can always go to Photoshop User (NAPP), they have really extensive resources but require annual membership in the form of subscription to the magazine.

There is also Adobe's Photoshop user forum at

http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bbf2764/

Some of Adobe's Photoshop engineers sometimes participate.

I second the Adobe forum. All kinds of techies hanging out there. I always get my questions answered.

The subscription Marko mentions costs about $95 but for that you get the magazine, which is geared a little more to graphic arts than photography but nevertheless usually has at least one or two good articles that are photography related every month. As an NAPP member you also get free shipping on anything you buy from B&H (if you like B&H which I don't but many do). That can more than make up for the cost of the membership.

Not to sound as their billboard, but you also get free access to their website with LOTS of tips, tutorials and other goodies. They do offer plenty of discounts, starting with Adobe itself as well as for many other products.

I obviously find it worthwhile, but as usual, YMMV.
