Big Blue & Cousins

Monthly Meeting: PhotoImpact Thursday, May 15

Traveller's Inn, 1961 Douglas Street, Victoria

Stephen Steffler, Photographer and owner of Creative Works as well as BB&C member, will do a presentation on PhotoImpact at the meeting tonight. He will show the differences between version 12 & 13 while doing a demo on photo editing. Most of what he'll show can be done on all 'high end' photo editing programs such as Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, PhotoPaint and The GIMP but often with more steps required.

Our meeting will start at 7:30 pm at the Traveller's Inn at Douglas and Discovery Sts, entrance off Discovery St. As usual we will have our Pre-Meeting Social meeting for dinner, dessert and/or coffee in the dining room at 5:30 to 7pm to enjoy some computer-oriented chat and visiting. [5 May 08]
