About our october meeting!


To all our members,

On our meeting in October we had Jim La Sala conduct a very educational program. For all of those who could not attend you missed a great program.

We learned masking techniques and photoshop tricks to help improve our images. For those who use photoshop it was a great demonstration.

We expect your comments and until next time.
