1 Year Membership — $99 USD
Product Review by Eric Martin
The National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) is a worldwide trade association with more than 40,000 members in over 100 countries. I'd heard many good things about the NAPP over the years and finally became a member in October, 2004.
In a nutshell, joining this group is hugely rewarding if you are serious about improving your Photoshop skills.
The one year individual membership costs $99 USD and includes a one year subscription to Photoshop User Magazine. But there's a lot more. The NAPP membership package features so many resources (see summary below) that you'll be in Photoshop heaven for months. And the special discounts and member benefits that come with the package make the subscription fee feel negligible.
A World Of Experts & Gurus
When you join the NAPP you become part of a community of worldwide Photoshop users, and what's really impressive is the list of people involved with NAPP and its in-house publication — Photoshop User Magazine. Contributors include renowned Photoshop teachers Deke McClelland, Jack Davis, Ben Willmore, Russell Brown, Dave Cross, Julieanne Kost, and Bert Monroy.
Another major player here is the ever-prolific Scott Kelby — the top selling computer book author of 2004 — who is rapidly becoming the Isaac Asimov of Photoshop publications. I envision him with 16 arms and 8 Powerbooks, typing like a wild man while smoke comes pouring out of his ears. As president of the NAPP he infuses the community with his enthusiasm and his experience.
NAPP Members-Only Website
On the members-only website — PhotoshopOnline — members form discussion groups to help each other out, and in the members-only tutorial section you'll find some excellent tutorials that cover a variety of techniques. This area also has some great video tutorials, which I find the best way to grasp new concepts or techniques.
The more you explore the website, the more you'll discover, like the Tips & Tricks Section, which is divided into separate collections for Layers, Brushes, Type, Tools, Keyboard Shortcuts and Web Tips.
The website also features a Help Desk where you can get answers to Photoshop-related technical questions, and an Online Gallery. Any member can create their own custom gallery, and although the posting of images is for NAPP members only, the galleries themselves are open to the public — which means that you could use this as a portfolio space as well.
Photoshop User "How To" Magazine
Included in the membership is a one-year subscription to Photoshop User Magazine.
Photoshop User features articles for all skill levels, from beginner to intermediate to advanced. When you look at the contributing writers page you'll see a collection of the finest Photoshop writers, with most of them the authors of well-known Photoshop books.
This is the real thing — a magazine with the very best tips and tutorials by the very best teachers in the industry.
The magazine also features a "Down & Dirty Tricks" section by Scott Kelby. This is the column where the Down & Dirty Tricks book series originated from, and each issue has some new entries. Did I mention that Scott Kelby is prolific?
Photoshop User also covers the latest Photoshop news, and features reviews of the latest Photoshop and digital imaging products.
You can preview some of the magazine and view past issues at the NAPP website.
Summary
This is a fantastic package deal for anyone who is serious about Photoshop, and a good way for beginners to take it to the next level on their way to becoming Photoshop Professionals. The only thing missing here is a memory enhancement pill to help you retain all the tips and tricks you'll encounter!
Without a doubt membership in the NAPP is of enormous value, opening the door to a huge world of Photoshop resources and professional support.

Did You Know You Could Create An Entire Website In Photoshop?
SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites Instantly
There often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. Creative professionals tend to stick to the Photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. Indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.
Essentially, Photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. On the other hand, HTML, CSS, Java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.
Turn Photoshop Into A Complete Web Design Tool
SiteGrinder seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. Basically, SiteGrinder turns Photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. With SiteGrinder, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. Bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, SiteGrinder is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks. Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download.
