January in dekeTown: Dreamstime, Fresco, and the End of the World
A special offer from Dreamstime, some dekeHelp with Adobe Fresco, and getting ready for the Big Cold Adventure.
Finishing the Year with Deke, New Photoshop Fundamentals, and Photoshop for the iPad
Thank you for being part of our community in 2019. This year we end with a completely revamped Photoshop 2020 One-on-One: Fundamentals course, an exploration of the new Photoshop for the iPad in Deke’s Techniques, and a sad but sweet farewell to a good friend.
Photoshop 2020—What Deke Thinks You Need To Know
It’s that wonderful time of the year when we receive a new version of Photoshop to explore, critique, and celebrate. Last week, Adobe announced Photoshop 2020 to the world, and Deke’s got a new course at LinkedIn Learning to ensure even the most seasoned Photoshopper doesn’t miss out on any of the great improvements.
Summertime Advancements
Welcome to Deke’s Endless Summer, my darling dekeErmelons! In this edition, we bring news of Deke’s new course updates, a father-and-son endeavor over on YouTube, a summer of endless pattern making, and a wave from under the sea.
New Year, New Courses, New Adventures
After Deke spent two weeks in the studio working on the Illustrator CC Fundamentals update and a round of new Deke’s Techniques episodes, we headed to San Diego to do some drysuit training for cold water scuba diving. Trying to embrace the cold seems appropriate for this chilly January, but our hearts are as warm as ever whenever we’re with the dekeFamily. (If you’re reading this, that means you.) Read on for other news from dekeLand.
dekeOween 2018
As you know, if you’ve been hanging about dekeLand for a while, Halloween is Deke’s favorite holiday. So it seems only appropriate that Deke not only has a new candy-plus-skeleton episode of Deke’s Techniques, but he also has a new course on Photoshop Channels and Masks with his new benign overlords at LinkedIn Learning. And we’ve got a whole archive of Halloween-related projects that Deke has shared throughout the years.
What’s New in Photoshop CC 2019
In this special edition newsletter, we're covering the latest version of Photoshop, released just last week. Yup, there's a new Photoshop in town. And your trusty pal Deke is at hand to make introductions, ready to give you a heads up on what's exciting and what's disorienting about it.
Summer Selects: Sampling from Deke’s Latest One-on-One Courses
We're in California this month, where Deke is recording at the good old Lynda/LinkedIn HQ of his youth (more on that below). In between visits from our various offspring, Deke's been hard at work updating the Photoshop Channels and Masks course of his youth. Meanwhile, we're celebrating the completion of both the Photoshop and Illustrator One-on-One series by sharing some sizzling samples in this month's missive.
Spring Creations: Illustrator, Photoshop, Max
Sprouting new skills, creating new projects from pure pixels, and little boys growing into young dashing gentlemen.
February Fundamentals and Foundations
Although we're not into the hearts and flowers bit, this Valentine version of dekeSpeak includes links to the updated Photoshop One-on-One: Fundamentals course, a new Deke's Techniques that will stretch your brain and your eyeballs, and a "Dear Deke" story about a bunch of seasoned Photoshop users finding out about a feature/hurdle that had gone unnoticed since 2015.
Midwinter Missive: More New Stuff at deke.com
Fresh, crisp Winter weather inspires me to share some new content and features of the recently released nearly new deke.com.
