Notes from
1/18/07 SIG |

We had some active discussion of PaintShop Pro and the January meeting and demonstrated a couple of free graphics programs -- FotoMorph and Perfect 365. If any of you have since tried either of these two programs, please bring your results to the SIG on a flash drive and we can show the group. This month we will look a bit more at PaintShop Pro and do a similar overview of ProShow Pro slide show program. One attendee responded to my offer to repair/restore a treasured photo and sent me one. The little photo cleaned up nicely. We will show the results at the meeting. Come join us. Alex

What is a Graphics SIG? The Graphics SIG is defined to cover all aspects of computer graphics that may be of interest to our members. In particular, all kinds of (1) painting, (2) drawing, (3) presentation, (4) scrapbooking and (5) photo editing software are in our area of responsibility both for printed and Web output. We also get into (1) scanning, (2) digital photography, (3) video, and (4) slide show production. We deal with use of graphics in more general purpose applications such as word processors and e-mail.
Which of this wide array of applications are actually covered at a SIG meeting depends strongly on the knowledge and interests of the SIG leader and of the guest speakers that the leader can recruit and on the suggestions made by the SIG attendees. The Graphics SIG, as are most of the club's SIGs, is very informal and questions are welcomed during the course of the meeting. It is suggested that, if possible, you submit your questions in advance via e-mail in order that the leader be able to do some research on the question if necessary. Attendance is typically about 20 members. Guests are welcome.
Your current leader specializes in graphic editing, slide show production, digital photography and scanning though he and/or other attendees may be able to answer your questions on a wider range of applications. Your current leader also has a standing offer to perform restoration work on damaged or faded photographs that are important to you. Simply e-mail digital files to him or bring them or original prints to the meeting.
