JOIN THE MEETING

Announcing a new interest group for Lightroom users.  We will be meeting by Zoom at 7:00 pm on the fourth Wednesday of every other month, beginning on October 28.

Lightroom is a terrific application for editing RAW files.  It gives you tremendous control over light tones, colors, framing and other details, and its masking tools let you target your edits to specific parts and characteristics of your photograph.  In these interest group sessions, we will focus on the nuts and bolts of using Lightroom, such as editing light and color tones, masking techniques, dealing with distracting elements, and rescuing images from camera setting errors.

If you wish you were better with Lightroom, or you have expertise that you'd like to share with others, then please join our session.  Bring your questions, and even your photos, and we'll work through your issues.

See you on October 28th!

JOIN THE MEETING

Do you have a photo that you would like to share with others?  Maybe you just want to brag about it a little bit, or you think it captures something that’s worth talking about?  Or perhaps you just want some ideas from others to help you edit it better?  Then GRCC’s Monthly Photo Talk Zoom meetings are for you. These are friendly discussions by people who enjoy taking and talking about photos.

You may also select images you would like to share (max 3, ) and be ready to share your screen (we recommend you put the images in a folder on your desktop or in your editing software for easy access)

If you aren't comfortable or are unfamiliar with how to share your screen you can submit your photos in advance - by emailing in .jpg format (maximum 2160 pixels on the long side) to Norbert Kugele at nfkugs@mac.com by the Monday prior to the meeting.  Depending on attendance, please understand we may not get to all of your images.

NOTE:Everyone is welcome.You do NOT need to share images in order to attend. If you prefer to just listen in and add your 2 cents worth to the conversation that is fine too . . . but the more participation we have the more we all learn! 

Hope to see you at the November Photo Talk meeting!
