I was happy to be a recipient of one of the WACOM Bamboo tablets at our last DMAG meeting. I've been a proud owner and user of WACOM's tablets and stylus pens since the 90's. However, the last one I had was not compatible wth my new MAC and I really did not have the money to upgrade. As a professional illustrator, this device is the best tool I can think of next to the real thing. Actually, it's better ... The Bamboo was a cinch to install and load to my MAC. And I did not even have to re-boot my system to have everything working property. It took only a few minutes for me to adjust to using it, since I'd already had experience ... but even if I had not, it's very simple to use. |

When working with stock footage, one problem that I constantly face is the issue of "cleanliness". Yes, cleanliness, most stock footage is HD and so sharp you can cut digital steak with it. Well, not anymore, as in walks Aged Film from Digieffects. Check this out. |

Lexington's chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness has featured DMAG in their recent weekly newsletter. Although they made a typo in the name, they did include a link to our website - and provided free promotion for our group among all of their Central Kentucky members. If you're interested in learning more about NAMI Lex you can visit their site at http://www.namilex.org (Thanks to DMAGer GG Burns for sharing this information with us!) |

DMAG has been featured on the main page of the digieffects website! Check out http://www.digieffects.com for more information. Also the company is having a ONE DAY SALE allowing you to save 50% off Atmosphere - this is a great plugin, and a great deal, but you have to place an order within the next 24 hours to take advantage of it.

Ok, I like this better than what i plan on doing for tomorrow nights meeting so I am posting this one. :P Photoshop can become an addiction. This is my first hackish use of EZMask. I can recommend this product for those who are not in love with masking difficult areas. This image wasn't tremendously difficult, but it did have a lot of similar colors which always makes for a tough challenge.

Well, our next meeting is coming up and I am excited. We have grown a lot in the past couple of sessions and it is really exciting to see how this community is coming together. I wanted to take this moment to tell you about one of the raffles that is on the plate. Alien Skin Software - Snap Art 2 Alien Skin has release its latest version of the turn a photo into art software Snap Art 2. I have been playing with it and it is really fun. I am a horrible photographer, and an even worse artist. But this plug in helped me make something I might hang up in my house, like the closet behind all the clothes with the lights off. That's not how i feel about this plugin, just about my work. Anyhow here is a before and after example of what you can do with Snap Art. I will be giving away a copy at our up and coming meeting. |
