TIME CHANGE: We meet at 3 pm. Monday May 8 Photoshop Shop SIG 3 p.m.
We will try to answer questions about using Photoshop. If there is interest, we will discuss how to use smart objects to have a non-destructive workflow. We will also show some other benefits of using smart objects. We will also talk about layer comps which allow you to record snap shots of your images with layers turned off and on as well as items moved - opacity - layer effects. Layer comps is a great way to have several views and only have one file. As usual, please bring layered TIFF or PDF files to show how you develop an image. Adobe Photoshop is the big brother of Elements. It has become the standard for image editors. Photoshop CS6 is the last version that could be purchased. Photoshop CC is the new version that you buy through a subscription. CC stands for Creative Cloud. Improvements to CC are downloaded from the internet as they become available. For more details please check out www.adobe.com. Currently there is a special subscription price for a photographers package of Lightroom and Photoshop.
We meet on the second Monday of the month from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Game Rooms 1 & 2 of the Activities Center. In May we meet at 3 p.m. because of a Board Meeting.
This SIG explores how to use Photoshop CS-CC. Most of the discussions will be using CS6 or CC with some items that would apply to some previous versions.
A typical meeting consists of questions and answers about using CS-CC to develop your images to match how you want the image to appear. A member often presents some aspect or use of Photoshop. We have had presentations on the liquefy filter, writing actions, using NIK Silver Efx Pro and others. We often close with members explaining how they developed their original image to achieve their vision by showing the layers in the psd or tiff file that was used to build the final image. The meeting format is flexible and may change from time to time. |
