Photoshop 7, New Tools and Tips and Tricks
Who: Donald Laird, Photoshop Instructor at Santa Rosa Junior College NBMA Photoshop Book Raffle! We will be raffling off some great books for this event. Don’t miss the chance to get the latest in Photoshop resources from the best Publishers. See below for the list of books. Photoshop is an absolute essential tool for countless artists, Web designers, and photographers. So our September Big Event is a must-attend for all Photoshop devotees! Donald Laird, Santa Rosa Junior College (www.santarosa.edu) Instructor extraordinaire, will show us how Adobe has enhanced this already-invaluable tool in its Photoshop 7 version. Some of the topics Mr. Laird will cover are:
A native Californian, Mr. Laird has a B.S. in Computer Science and is an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop, beginning with Version 5.0. He began his career as a statistical analyst, did tech support for Fair Isaac in San Rafael (where he and a team watched over 350 computers on three continents), was a corporate trainer, and a webmaster before finding his niche as a teacher nine years ago. He also consults to small businesses on Web site development, custom application programming, database development, and training. The numerous personal and business Web sites he has created feature 100% accessibility: no plug-ins are required and there are very low browser requirements. One of Laird’s personal Web sites maps out the 1,100 historical landmarks in California (www.calandmarks.com). He has visited and photographed 1,011 of them and plans to do them all! His landmark photographs have been widely published in magazines, books, and documentaries. Laird, his wife Cathy, and their 4 year old son Sutter are often seen tooling down the highways in their black and white, cow-spotted PT Cruiser on their way to another historic site. And yes, Laird has created a Web site for his fellow PT Cruiser-ites (www.winecountrycruisers.com). Laird is also a volunteer with the Marin/Sonoma/Napa Outreach Committee for the Bay Area Sports Organizing Committee, which is working on a bid to bring the Summer Olympic games to San Francisco in 2012. Donald loves teaching and is looking forward to doing this Photoshop presentation for us and answering your questions. So bring your sharpened pencils, lots of paper, and get ready to take copious notes! — Janet Zagoria Janet is principle of Janet Zagoria Web Design and Development, a full-service Web site development company, an instructor at Santa Rosa Junior College, and president of NBMA.
