(Page 1)2. I think it is important for your readers to know that Photoshop TV is not an "infomercial" as this post suggests. It is a half hour show that helps people learn how to use the software. NAPP is not affiliated with Adobe and we do not benefit if people purchase Photoshop.
Perhaps you should watch the show before making assumptions about its content.
I'd be happy to give you or your readers more details on our show.

1. Maybe you should actually watch this show before you mislead people and call it an infomercial. It's filled with news, tips and tutorials to help existing users learn more about the program. It's about as far from an infomercial as I've ever seen! They don't even mention how to purchase the software.
