Hey everyone September’s Pug is already a go and it is going to be a great one. Frederick Van Johnson (you may of heard of him from his podcast and he has attended the pug 
) will be our guest speaker. Frederick is going to be talking about Lightroom and Aperature and will give tutorials on how to make your life easier with these tools, and probably comparing the two products. I know he will have some great tricks since he worked for Adobe until December of this year. He will also be showing you how to integrate uploading directly to pictage from lightroom. A great time saver if you don’t already do this.
The meeting will be at Sonoma Chicken Coop in Campbell starting at 6:30 for dinner. This meeting is going to start at 7pm sharp because there is going to be a lot of great info. Don’t forget we meet upstairs. Also, a special thanks to Karl Ko for last month for sitting in the hotseat. I know he got some great advice from everyone plus remember to play with the new slideshow Pictage has offered. I would love some feedback.
