Topic
Cameras, Computers and Photo Files - What Should I Do?
Presenter:
Jerry Gifford
What:

February's meeting will mainly be audience driven. Participation in the form of questions or answers will be greatly encouraged.

Some possible topics include:   

1. How do I get my image files from the camera to the computer?
2. Where do I put them and how do I organize them?
3. How do I email an image I've made?
4. What about back up?
5. What image file type should I use?
6. Audience questions about cameras, computers and photo files.
7. If time allows, a short demonstration of a computer controlling a camera.

Jerry's presentation will be geared to explore real world digital photo questions and answers.  This will not be a lesson in how to use this or that image organizing/editing software.  Image editing and organizing software will be covered in a very general way or in a future meeting.  Jerry's goal is to help you with information to make decisions which best fit your needs.

Bring your questions. Together we will try to find answers.
