Adobe's virtual library open to the public
Users of any of Adobe's products (at least the current ones) will want to check out Adobe TV. With a smorgasbord of tutorials and informational videos on a broad range of topics, it has something for everyone.
The content ranges from Photoshop tutorials from Layers Magazine to tips on dynamic media creation in Visual Communicator. Beginners and long-time users – be they web developers, graphic designers, video professionals, photographers, you name it – should be able to find something right up their alley... from down-to-earth Lightroom tutorials to the ridiculous (but informative) antics of Dr. Brown. The site is well organized and easy to navigate, and thankfully provides Youtube-style embed code for deep linking within the Flash site.
It sounds like the content will be updated regularly, keeping the collection current with Adobe's ever-growing lineup. Even if I often choose alternatives to Adobe's products in my workflow (don't worry, InDesign, you're safe for now...), I'm already gleaming useful information from Adobe TV. I find it a testament to Adobe's growth (and the power of acquisition) that the entire site is built with Adobe products, from video capture to final delivery. So, here's a toast to all-encompassing media production empires, so entrenched in the industry that they can afford to miss 64-bit boats and shirk interface conformity. Cheers!

The nice thing about Adobe TV is that it is integrated into the new Adobe Media Player:

Hi I think you guys left off part of the story. That picture of Dr. Brown, was originally created content by www.xtrain.com! We made all of the Dr. Brown's Photoshop Laboratory and have over 100 more classes like this lined up in the Adobe TV and AMP programs!

I've been watching Dr. Brown's video on xTrain.com for a while now. He's so funny and he makes learning fun!

This is really helpful information. I watched one of the Dr. Brown videos this morning and have already learned new things - particularly if I am ever asked to work with a 3-D Shamu
