Those of us who have iPads will bring them to show off and pass around. We'll talk about what we love and what we're doing with these seductive devices. Those without iPads can get their hands on ours (and drool). Join us for the fun!

Join us on Thursday, January 28, at 6:30 pm at the Metrum Credit Union. Craig Lewis and Chris Domino will be talking about getting the most out of the photos you take with your iPhone or iPod Touch camera. There are a number of apps now available to retouch photos, share them, or turn them into funnies -- we'll show a variety of effects! We'll use a document camera so that everyone can see a projection of our iPhones and watch exactly what we're doing.

Join us Thursday, August 26th, at the Metrum Credit Union for a more detailed presentation from Dan about multimedia on the Mac.

We've talked about workflow in Aperture and Lightroom -- iPhoto is the photo editor for the rest of us! See what's new in the iLife 09 version, learn how to capture your photos and organize them, and look at some great "show and tell" examples of what you can do with the program! Remember, the gift-giving season is around the corner, and now is a great time to get started on those books and calendars.
