Our August 1st meeting was extremely beneficial and well attended. There were two presentations, the first was "9 Simple Steps from the Digital Camera to the Web" by LBMG leader, Roger Kroll and the second was on Font Reserve including a sneak peak of features to be included in their upcoming update, 3.1 by Diamondsoft Customer Support Manager, Mark Cirano.


"Nine Simple Steps from Digital Camera to the Web!"

Roger provided a handout as well as described in detail the 9 steps from the digital camera to the web. The steps enumerated were: 1. Downloading the photos from the digital camera to the hard drive; 2. Opening the images in Photoshop 7 (using the new File Browser); 3. Color correcting image (using Curves); 4. Sharpening image; 5. Cropping the image (using Photoshop 7 presets); 6. Saving image for the web; 7. Drop the folder of images into iPhoto; 8. Organizing images in album. 9. Uploading images onto .Mac account. A PDF of the handout is available upon request.


"Font Reserve 3.0 by Diamondsoft"

Mark Cirano, who seldom is in our area, was in Los Angeles because of the opening of the new Apple Store in the Grove on our meeting night so he was able to make a presentation to our group. His talk explained why font management is important and how Font Reserve can be invaluable. He showed the 5 locations that fonts can be in OS X and told how easy it is to have font conflicts because of this confusion. Font Reserve has some unique solutions to these problems and Mark explained how to prevent font conflicts with the aid of Font Reserve. DiamondSoft very generously donated two copies of Font Reserve 3.0 to our raffle.
