14 DAY TRIAL // Scott Kelby, president and CEO of KelbyTraining.com and the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, has released Light It: The How-To Magazine for Studio Lighting and Off-Camera Flash in the Apple App Store.
According to the publisher, Aquafadas Digital Publishing System was selected by KelbyTraining.com to produce what is the first digital photography lighting magazine from Scott Kelby and KelbyTraining.com made exclusively for Apple’s post-PC device.
The first issue of Light It is free. Interested parties can download the premiere issue right now and enjoy over 50 pages of articles with "pinch and zoom" photos, as well as videos, and web links.
The mag is published 8 times a year and Kelby promises that future issues will be available directly via the Light It app for just $2.99 each with no subscription requirement.
In fact, users can choose only the issues they want to download. If they change their mind, back issues can be obtained instantaneously, according to the developers.
Commenting on their new release, Scott Kelby, Light It editor-in-chief, said: “The entire magazine is dedicated to just one topic: lighting. We’re talking about off-camera flash, studio lighting, and how to use all the gear and accessories in studio and on location to help you create your best images."
"Our goal was to create an iPad magazine that not only looks like a print magazine, but works the same way. It's clean. Simple. Intuitive," Kelby continued.
"You don't need to learn how to read it. At the same time, we added the ability to go beyond print, with features like a double-tap to see any photo full size, and the ability to pinch to zoom-in to see a photo's detail. It works the way you'd think it would…like a magazine. Only better,” said Kelby.
Light It Digital Magazine is compatible only with the Apple iPad and requires iOS 3.2 or later.
