Multimedia SIG - Tuesday, 7 April 2009 NOTE: This meeting is being held a week earlier than usual. Topic and speaker: Ross Taylor ? Adobe (Photoshop) Lightroom 2 Ross will outline the main features and how the program can manage about 90% of a photographer's workflow. But the main focus will be to demonstrate the fast, almost intuitive nature of image processing and never having to worry about affecting the originals. Some of the limitations will be mentioned and when to move images into Photoshop CS3/4 and back for printing etc. Ross says, ?After using Photoshop since version 3, I think the main point is that this program is fun to use and to experiment with - at last!?
