Welcome to the Team Mike – can’t wait to see the all new “official” creativesweettv content!
Hi Mike,
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of Adobe CS3 with the rest of us. I have felt so overwhelmed trying to learn all of the functions since December. Now, I have searched the Web over and I have found you! I am truly grateful that you are here just for people like me! Your teaching style is so easy, when I finish a podcast, I feel like I can take on the CS3 World! Be blessed Mike, I know I am now that I have found your site!

Hi Mike,
Great to see the new site and congratulations on getting the Adobe position! I did a seminar that you did last year at Epson in Sydney – you were even better in person. I don’t know if this is the right spot but I have a question for you. Hopefully the answer will help others as well…
I often apply a heavy vignette to isolate the subject, eg. a baby held in fathers arms (low key portrait). Generally it goes well, but sometimes we get noticeable banding in the feathered area.
We’ve tried layer masks, gaussian blur, duplicating the original layer and erasing back, etc. the banding is reduced but still visible on screen and on the print (Epson 3800). Would love to know if you have found this at all and any suggestions you might have to reduce the problem.
Thanks again for your vodcasts… awesome!
Cheers, Graham
Hi Mike,
You have really great tutorials, i like that you have a variety of all the programs instead of just focusing on one. Really helps out. I was wondering if there was any way to see your previous videos, since your site and your podcasts on itunes start at around 30 or so.
