Rusty Bumpers
MyMac Podcast #336

Gaz and Guy get it all together for this show, their first since the Macworld Expo. Skype hates Gaz and GarageBand hates Guy so it was a real roller coaster affair.

The Daily Discussion
TechFan #18

Tim and David take a look at the NEW publication, The Daily. Is the subscription magazine on iPad finally done right, or is it more of the same? Macworld Expo 2011 has come and gone, and the guys have some ideas on how to make it better next year.

This book is billed as a learning tool for beginners, but it will get you to almost every aspect you need to understand for using Photoshop CS5.
