Herb is a
past coordinator for The Seattle Mountaineer’s Basic Photography
Course and Digital Photography Workshop. First Herb will show
us photos from his recent trip to Japan and then he will show us
how he turns his original images into “wow” photos using Adobe
Photoshop. His before and after images are amazing. Herb has
always dazzled us with his presentations, so this should be an
enjoyable evening. |

Bob Baxter will present a review of the many
uses of WEB calendar software.
Remember the family calendar on the
refrigerator? With all the family appointments mixed together?
And if you were away from home, how would you check the family
calendar?
Outlook, Calendar Creator, PDAs, etc. are helpful but there are
other ways to make the dynamic Family Calendar more useful.
Bob will explain some Web calendars that can separate events
into meaningful groups and be displayed in full or part from
anyplace you can access the web. |
