22 An Introduction to Adobe Lightroom Terry Hewitt
Adobe Lightroom is designed specifically for professional and amateur photographers. It is an efficient, powerful way to import, process, manage, and showcase large volumes of digital photographs. It enables you to spend less time sorting and organizing images, so you have more time to actually shoot and perfect them. In this presentation Terry will describe what it is, what it does, who uses it and how it integrates with the other Adobe products such as Photoshop and Bridge. The talk will be in the form of an interactive demonstration of Lightroom, including its importing, keywording, sorting, organising, exporting, slideshow, printing and web creation capabilities.

A chance for club members to have a say about the club, suggest changes, stand for office, get involved...
   
May - August (inclusive)

We do not hold any official club meetings between May and September, however a number of members continue to meet on an informal basis in the Brooke Hotel, Brooke Rd West, Crosby, L22 2BE.

The first "pub meeting" will be on the second Wednesday after the AGM - then fortnightly throughout the summer recess.

These social meetings (8pm onwards) are open to anyone and are intended for members to keep in touch during the "closed" season and possibly arrange to go on photographic outings.

   
We look forward to seeing you in September
