So, How many members out there own Adobe Photoshop or Elements raise your hand! Okay, how many of you that raised your hand feel you need some help with these amazing but somewhat confusing programs? Well hopefully next months meetup will be able to help us get a little better understanding of these programs. A member of our Meetup group, Deb, is going to come and talk with us on the basic's. There were a few members that offered to share some of their photoshop skills with us also, and I am hoping with enough interest that we can set up some small groups to continue these photoshop meetings.

Here is a few words from Deb herself - Be sure to check out her website!!!!!

Deb Franks
Adobe Rep and longtime Photoshop/Photoshop Elements user.
Digital Photographer that went through the Online self passed New York Institute of Photography Course.
NAPP Member for 7 years.


I became interested in photography when it became digital and I could manipulate it in my PC. Photoshop and I became friends and I spent many hours reading and learning the program to turn my photos into art. At this meet up I will talk to you about both programs and see what may be the best one for you. I will go over work flow and organization. I will talk basic editing. I will leave it open for questions for the most part. If there is an interest for more learning, I would be willing to hold classes for both or either Adobe program. I would like this to be a Q and A meeting, with me going over some of the features before we open it up to questions. Please take a look at my over 600 photos I have posed on PBASE. You can get to that link by going to www.debfranks.com I really look forward to making you feel more comfortable using your Adobe products.


We will be meeting at the Hometown Buffet in Madison for dinner and photoshop talk. Buffet cost is around 12.00 (if the price hasnt changed since we were all there in Feb).
I am also limiting this to 40 people with you only being able to RSVP Yes or No.

Thanks,
Donna 337-5149

    Looking forward to this meetup. I'm CS3 self-taught. Have learned different ways to process my photos. The more I learn, the more I become confused with my workflow. It would be of great interest to me if the more Photoshop saavy members could share the workflow that works best for them. I recognize that one wouldn't use the same workflow for every type of photo. Could make it interesting to learn new ideas for various types of photos.

    Deb and I think it best not to bring laptops to this meetup as it's only a photoshop talk. Probaby better to just bring pen and paper. If there is enough intrest, Deb will maybe try and do some small group lessons at another time.

Who attended?

  • 31 attendees
    •  I really enjoyed it, learned about hidden secrets in photoshop. Also, I am glad to learn about mpix.com. I was really nice putting faces with names. 
    •  I thought the speaker would have a formal presentation set up. I did appreciate that she is willing to give free lessons in her home though. 
    • Peggy (+1 guest)
       The host seemed very knowledgeable and I am more interested in learning the program that I have been in the past. 
    •  I am excited to learn more....

       Great event to meet others who want to expand their abilities with photoshop. Deb Frank was gracious to give her time to promote the Photoshop CS or Photoshop Elements graphic programs, depending on your experience with the Adobe graphic products. Thank you Donna and Wendy for the photoshop talk meetup! 
    •  Great door prizes!!! Loved seeing everyone and getting caught up.
