Layers TV
This just in… From the folks behind the top-rated video podcast Photoshop User TV comes another, presumably fantastic, show called Layers TV. Much like the tagline for the magazine, the show is touted as “The How-To Podcast for Everything Adobe.”
Scheduled to launch tomorrow (September 19th), the inaugural podcast will feature the expertise of NAPP curriculum developers RC Concepcion and Corey Barker. Each 15-minute episode will be packed with tips and tutorials on Adobe’s extensive collection of programs. You can read a little more on RC’s blog over at Layers Magazine.
