Next Meeting Wednesday November 14th

I was buzzed.

Last Photoshop Users Group meeting was Excellent! I can say there was something for everyone. Topics from, best books, cameras and file format, printers and business just to name a few.

Charles gave a step-by-step photo editing session that was easy to understand simple, methodical, sequence of steps to get desired results. I’m for that. None of this “Try this and see what happens”. Thank you Charles!

Late in the evening Lee did a Photomerge of the front and rear of a late 1930’s Chevrolet or Pontiac? It was surprising simple.
1) Open the photos in Photoshop.
2) File/Automate/Photomerge.
3) A window opens up and asks to choose two or more files to create a panoramic composition, or click the open composition button to view an existing composition. Sounds complicated, just click ok. A second later the photos (car halves) are merged. But, they don’t line up exactly.
4) Change the setting to perspective and click ok. Save the file and you’re done.

This technique opened up a new dimension in Photoshop that is really exciting. Thank you Lee!

It was a high energy meeting with 2 new people from Craig’s List and the normal 2 or 3 conversations going on at the same time. Life is good and we went home happy.
