Basic PhotoShop Training Class:
Set on our routine monthly meeting date and time
Wednesday, 12/19, DFW Technology Conference Room
7:00 PM - 9:30 PM
Instructor - Edward Tang
We selected Basic Photoshop this time because we have more "basic" members than "advanced"
Let's leave the "Color Management" to a little bit later
Bring our own notebook if possible
We are looking for more training classes in 2008
Our warmest wishes to our ex-president David Hsu:
David is going to have a minor surgery next week
With a weak health, David joined among us this evening
We highly appreciated his love and care of our big family
We wish him all the best and get well soon
We are looking for another life model in January or February
We thank Amy Zhou and Zoe Peng:
They are sharing the same traditional spirit of NTAPA with us.They came back to see us on the Annual Convention evening. We welcome them all the time! We welcome all ex-members to come back and share photography knowledge and skills with us.
Together we will build up a permanent beautiful world of the past, the present, and the future.
