Adobe UK kicks off its Creative Week

Adobe UK launched a week-long celebration of all things creative at lunchtime today. Creatively, they've named it Creative Week. It brings together Adobe staff and specialists, leading professionals, and industry movers-and-shakers to participate in debates, run workshops, and host show-and-tell sessions. And all of this is being broadcast over the Intergoogles, so wherever you are with a connection, you can get involved.

If you're reading this, the chances are that you'll be most interested in Friday's sessions, which are photography-focused. Timothy Allen, Erin Moroney, and Glyn Dewis will be live debating. Adobe Evangelist (awesome job title) Julianne Kost will be divulging some of Photoshop CS6's secrets. And Allan Jenkins will be running a show-and-tell on producing Victorian-era Cyanotype prints. There are more sessions on Photoshop and Lightroom, too, in case that wasn't enough.

Wednesday is Film and Video day; Tuesday looks at design and publishing; and Thursday is dedicated to web and mobile.

You can get the full agenda from Adobe UK's blog, and sign-up to watch sessions on the Adobe Create website.

Have fun!
