Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced that the U.S. leg of
its Project: Photoshop and Lightroom education road show will begin on September
5 at over 25 colleges and art schools across the nation. In collaboration with
Colin Finlay, a world-renowned documentary photographer and four-time Picture
of the Year Award winner, the road show will give students and educators direct
access to Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Lightroom public beta, the new digital
workflow solution for professional photographers. In further support of this initiative,
Adobe is also launching a destination Web site (www.projectphotoshoplightroom.com),
which provides participating students with a universal place to share their work
and blog about their experiences.



The two-day seminar at each school will involve a one-day lecture by Colin Finlay
in which he shares his career as a photographer, including his commercial work
and documentation of social issues. The following day, Julianne Kost, senior evangelist
at Adobe, will provide students with an in-depth seminar on using Adobe Photoshop
CS2 and Adobe Lightroom beta, highlighting their combined support for a digital
workflow. In addition, a select group of students will participate with Finlay
in a workshop assignment. Students will place images from this assignment into
a portfolio which will be uploaded to the Web site for sharing with the extended
community.
