TAMPA, Fla. -- Kelby Media Group (formerly KW Media Group), today announced the launch of Kelby Training, at Kelbytraining.com, the industry's most comprehensive educational resource for photographers, graphic designers, and creative professionals that use Adobe[R] Creative Suite applications.

"Scott has been the #1 best-selling author worldwide of not only Photoshop books, but of all computer books across all categories since 2004," said David Moser, chief operating officer of Kelby Media Group.
