Photoshop Illustrated Talk

This evening Jack Casement gave an informative and interesting talk focused on the creative side of Photoshop. He provided hints and tips on using layers and selections and how to put these together using actions to automate workflows. I certainly came away with some new ideas which I will try out over the coming weeks.

A club member also donated two Photoshop handbooks to raise money for Club funds, this was very much appreciated and we offer him our thanks. I have one of these books left "Photoshop CS3 in easy steps , Windows and Mac by Robert Shufflebotham" for £5, please let me know if your interested.

A day out to Brighton

Last Monday we had a glorious day with warm spring weather. I took the opportunity to take a day off and visited Brighton, taking my Canon40D along for the ride. The photographic highlights were the West Pier destroyed by fire, the Palace Pier, the Royal Pavillion and the Lanes. I certainly recomend Brighton for a day out with the camera and plently of choice for a very good lunch
