The email newsletter system on our website has been down and out for a couple weeks. I worked with the developer to get to the bottom and we just ran out of time and patience so we upgraded.

You’ll see a new format for the newsletter and no matter how much content is posted daily, you’ll get only one email per day.

There have been a few updates that were not sent out, please visit: http://linnareaphotoclub.org/blog/ to review the most recent postings.

Don’t forget our next meeting Sunday Feb 12th at Wickiup. Event details can be found here: http://linnareaphotoclub.org/events/upcoming/

Updates to the website, sent buy email are working again!

A post was put out last night but the web server didn’t send an email notice to everyone. To learn more about Greg Basco and his trip to the Quad Cities just go here: http://linnareaphotoclub.org/news/an-evening-with-photographer-greg-basco/

I wasn’t able to attend the Lightroom Training on Sunday but I’ve had a lot of positive feedback.

Thanks to everyone who participated and of course the questions!

I just learned you can download and use the Lightroom 4 Beta until March 31, 2012!

Better than a free 30 day trial!

Remember there is NO meeting in December, we’ll meet again in Jan 2012.

The vote for the January meeting was to update the group on Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

We’ve done a training class similar to this a couple years ago and with so many members I’d like to reach out and see who would like to participate and help with the training class in January.

If you’re familiar with Lightroom and have some tips/tricks you’d like to share or you can be a resource to help with questions simply email President@LinnAreaPhotoClub.org.

Not a Lightroom Expert but have questions?

If you have a Lightroom questions you’d love to have answered in our meeting next month please let me know so we can be prepared and answer your questions in January.
