Adobe Edge, After Effects Warp Stabilizer and Rotobrush

Upcoming meetings!

Oct. 18, 2011: Adobe Edge, plus After Effects Warp Stabilizer and Rotobrush

Ryan LeTulle will give us a look at Adobe Edge, a newly announced facility that allows animation created purely with HTML5. And James Edmunds will show us how the Warp Stabilizer in Adobe After Effects 5.5 can make your shaky hand-held videos seem steady, as well as take a peek at the power of the rotobrush tool that vastly eases rotoscoping. This meeting will be held Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2011, 6-8 pm at Graham Group Interactive, 2014 West Pinhook Road, Suite 210, Lafayette, LA.

Nov. 15, 2011: Philip Gould and Phil Schneider - Photoshop from camera to production

Philip Gould and Phil Schneider will take us through the steps used to produce finished work for an upcoming Gould photo exhibit. See how high quality prints are created, from leaving the camera through installation on the gallery walls, plus pick up all sorts of tips along the way. This meeting will be held Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2011, 6-8 pm at Graham Group Interactive, 2014 West Pinhook Road, Suite 210, Lafayette, LA.

Dec. 6, 2011: Annual Dutch Treat Holiday Social

A highlight of the Acadiana techno-social calendar! We will announce soon the location for this annual event, which will be highlighted by the raffle award of a CS5.5 suite package!

Have some fun! Learn new things!

Our meetings are always informative, and, unless we're at a dutch treat holiday social, there's free beer, soda and chips, and we start off each evening with a socializing period (also called beer time). Attendance at any content meeting gets you a ticket into a raffle for a semi-annual drawing for a Creative Suites package! And there are occasional other giveaways, as well.

Call for meeting topics

We are always on the lookout for suggestions for good meeting topics, and any presentations that might come from our members. We all learn so much from each other!

In the works for possible future meetings: a power guide to using PDF forms; a presentation by a power Illustrator user on what's in that Illustrator file you just got sent (lots more useful stuff than you might ever believe!), an update on ColdFusion, a close-up look at Adobe Browser Lab, Muse and more. Plus, whatever YOU suggest!
