LATEST ADDITIONS

LiveBooks, Inc., a provider of Web based image portfolio management and marketing
software, has announced it will provide a new subscription based package for
students and teachers of photography for its Web-based portfolio software. The
new package, called LiveBooks|EDU, is designed to empower students with the
same photographic marketing tools used by professional photographers to share
their work via the Internet. Students who build a LiveBooks|EDU portfolio Website
can easily share their images with professors, fellow students and friends and
begin to create a unique and independent approach to their photographs and individual
style as photographers. The program will allow students (and teachers) to build
a beautiful, fully-functional Web-based portfolio which can be updated daily,
if desired, for as little as $29.00 per month.

Project: Photoshop and Lightroom education road show has begun. 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),

a photographer, including his commercial work and documentation of social issues.

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
