PROGRAM OUTLINE:

Mark your calendars for January 19, 2009 at 6pm - Aperture vs Lightroom. Three very talented photography and computing gurus will walk us through both of these programs. You DO NOT wanna miss this evening with Cris Duncan, Jody Smyers & Todd Brasher.

Workflow is one of the biggest challenges that professional photographers face in the digital age. Come join us as we take a look at the two most powerful image processing software available. We will be having a side-by-side comparison on two screens of Apple's Aperture and Adobe's Lightroom. Both of these applications give the pro an extensive toolbox, RAW processing and several output options. We will have a 'dueling banjos' type approach so you can see which one is best for you. The program will cover the comparisons, differences and interface of image import, image management, processing, adjustments and output.
