Open Discussion

Tanya and Craig suggestion is what if we did a program and a member provides a raw photo file or maybe a couple that have different issues.  Have 3 or 4 of our better photographers process the images and make them as good as they can.  Then give them a couple weeks to do what they can.  At the program meeting each photographer takes 5-10 minutes to describe what they did using screen shots of their workflow.  Invite discussion of which works best

Program Committee Chair is asking to get more suggestions for speakers for the meetings at the Club.

 

Meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m..
