Let's Do Photoshop - By Popular Demand

This meeting is here by popular request. In the last meeting, we covered Lightroom and now... the king of the mountain and the industry dictator for nearly two decades.

Photoshop is daunting for many, although powerful in every way - even with its most basic features. Advance users have an incredible amount of power. Tonight, we'll cover a few key points. In this meeting Mark will discuss in an interactive setting:

• The basic image editing tools • Settings, formats and the underlying project

• The tools that make Photoshop essential for EVERY photographer (Layers, Masks, Adjustment Layers, Image Control)

• Examples of more advanced tools and techniques that are used by everyday photographers, retouchers and creatives.

We ask for donations are $5 for regular meetings for meetings with speakers. Every meeting costs money, so the donations are appreciated as always. Donations are voluntary but requested.

If you have some show and tell, please provide in advance.

SUBMISSIONS: Send your photos directly to me at

• Down rez them (remember, the projector's resolution is limited to about 1200 x 800), turn them into jpegs and place their quality at 80 percent. This will give us healthy, but not too massive of files. Remember the rules ... see below!

Prize: for contests... the winner gets something. Sometimes it's a material something. Sometimes just spiritual.

Ok folks - photo submission time! See you soon,
