Following on from his behind-the-scenes work with Adobe in the US, Adobe in the UK use his services to act as a Guru to answer exhibition attendees' questions on the use of their products, mainly Photoshop and Lightroom. These instances have been at shows such as the Hasselblad World Tour (English leg!), Focus on Imaging, Nikon Solutions Expo and Adobe Live. Since many of these recent shows have teamed with Wacom, he has demonstrated this equipment and its techniques as well!
An earlier career in the RAF gave him good technical knowledge that has allowed him to more fully understand Apple Macs, especially when coupled with digital photography, and gives him the opportunity to help others with their choice of equipment, fault diagnosis and rectification.
A longstanding relationship with Photoshop pre-release testing, has brought in-depth knowledge of the program, which has led to opportunities to offer his services to Adobe at exhibitions and Roadshows around the UK, which led to invitations to tech-edit for authors, Martin Evening, Deke McLeland, and Philip Andrews, and the Mac section for Wildlife photographer, David Tipling.
Recently he was asked by Apple to give the very first talk after the opening of the Buchanan Street Store in Glasgow - Scotland's first Apple Store! It was to give a demonstration and talk about the advantages of using Macs with Creative Suite 3. Adobe also sent him on similar missions to Calumet and Jessops stores, in London, Manchester and Cardiff.
