Trainers for this year’s PhotoshopWorld include NAPP President and Photoshop User Editor Scott Kelby; Photoshop Studio Techniques author Ben Willmore; Photoshop WOW! Book author Jack Davis; Adobe Photoshop Seminar Tour Leader Robb Kerr; Photoshop Bible author Deke McClelland; and Photoshop User Creative Director Felix Nelson.

I'm hoping other deviants will attend, and hopefully a DeviantMEET can be arranged. If you are planning to attend this year's event and wish to meet up with other Deviants who are attending, please send me a note.
