Workshop Content

For the third straight year, the Ottawa PC Users' Group will be offering a beginners' workshop; however, this year, the approach will be a little more "focused" as we cover the basics of purchasing a digital camera and processing the resulting images.

Our workshop will be held on Saturday, November 19, 2005, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the Heron Road Community Centre, 1480 Heron Road, Ottawa.

If you are planning to move from film to digital images, are thinking of upgrading your current digital camera, or want to know how to take your pictures from snapshots to works of art, this just might be the workshop for you.

Club members who have spent considerable time researching the associated issues, and developing advanced digital imaging techniques, will share their knowledge and expertise with workshop participants in four basic sessions:

	Buying a Digital Camera When selecting a digital camera, you are faced with a bewildering variety of choices. This session will discuss the important features and help you sort the wheat from the chaff.
	Image Processing This session will illustrate the power of advanced image editing. We will explain technical stuff like colour depth and show you how to transform images every which way.
	Output Options How are you going to print your digital images? Do you know how to efficiently store, catalogue, and share images with others? Our expert will cover all the bases of maintaining and preparing digital images for output.
	Problems and Solutions Do you have a specific problem with digital imaging? This is a workshop, and we are here to help! This session will deal with common imaging problems and provide you with the solutions.
	Door Prizes This year, as a special bonus to workshop participants, we will be featuring a draw for a number of software packages, books related to digital imaging, and lots more (estimated total retail value $2000.00)!

Registration Registration* is just $50.00 which includes: a CD-ROM with all the presentations associated reference information lunch and coffee breaks, a one-year membership in OPCUG (a $25.00 value by itself), and draws for a total of $2000 in door prizes * Attendance will be limited to the first 60 registrants
