February Meeting's Highlights

• Old/New news was covered. We looked at our newest sponsor’s websites and products.
• I completely bumbled through a demo. Lesson learned? Upload the source files before getting to the venue. J And maybe do a few practice runs for the demo before showing that I know completely nothing about Photoshop.
• What did we learn? Well, the members that were there learned that as you are drawing a marquee you can hold down the space bar to adjust its position and then keep drawing. It may sound simple but, this was a golden nugget for me that came out of the Channels and Masks book I mentioned earlier.
• Tracey won the Exposure 2 software. We look forward to seeing what she can do with it.
• Due to member numbers I held off talks of the books that were under review.
• We also passed out some great books this time and look forward to hearing back about those. Check our website next month for a review of these books.
