Note #1 Daytime meetings - We are shaking things up by having our meetings during daytime hours to make it easier for everyone’s schedule, as well as soak up as much vitamin D (from sun rays) as possible for maximum brain energy.

Note #2 Captivate and beyond topics - Also, with so many other related Adobe tools that we use during projects (i.e. Flash, Fireworks, Photoshop, Illustrator), we are opening up our topics and presenters to all Adobe products and are considering the group to be an all inclusive Adobe Learning Group (Captivate and beyond).

Let me ask you this, where did summer go so fast?
Did you see what you wanted to see? Did you create what you wanted to create?

Okay, enough nostalgia, our next Adobe Learning Group will be in October ( October 31st, costume optional). RSVP coming!

Happy Fall and just to recap last August’s meeting (sorry a little late…busy…busy Summer-early Fall), Matt May dropped on us why accessibility is important. Check out video of cool, calm and collected Matt, who just presented at Web 2.0 Expo in NY. Gotta mention his book on accessibility coming out (soon) from Orielly Media…very cool Matt!

Also, Mark Chrisman (me) gave a 101 overview of creating a narrative and podcast experience with audio and Captivate. See slideshare presentation (below).

See you in October. I am probably coming as Spiderman or Wolvervine!

Thanks to everyone who made it out to Fremont on such a sunny Seattle day. It was great seeing familiar faces and new folks as well.

As content developers, we receive some pretty “interesting” source images from clients to incorporate seamlessly into our projects, so we asked Gordon Modin, a busy Seattle freelancer to show us how to work magic and heal images using Photoshop CS3.

We got to check out a bunch of useful tips such as the healing and patch tool, color adjustments layers, the magic wand, power font selection and a lot of fast key strokes to speed up your work flow.

Here are a few links that Gordon dropped on us:

• Learning @ Your Own Pace® - lynda.com
• Seattle Final Cut User Group (Gordon co-manages)
• You suck at Photoshop
  
• Adobe TV
• Ladyoak online resources
