Digital cameras, scanners and camera phones have made everyone a photographer.  That’s a good thing!  But now you have a ton of photos to keep track of, to fix and to make things with, and that’s … perplexing!  Join us for a demonstration of what you can do to organize, edit and share your photos with iPhoto, Picnik, Photoshop Elements and online photosharing services. You can’t learn HOW to use all of these products in 2 hours, but you can learn WHY you’d want one over the other.  We will followup with hands-on workshops for those who are interested in learning how.

Join us on Saturday May 22 from 10 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at ING Direct Cafe in the Ali’i Room.  Free, but since space is limited please complete the Contact Form and indicate you are interested in this session. Join us!

ING Direct Cafe 1958 Kalakaua Avenue, Ali’i Room

Saturday May 22, 2010   10 a.m. – 12 p.m.  Free, but space is limited so please register with this Contact Form. Be sure so say it’s the I’ve Got Photos session.   A hui hou!
Free parking in the adjoining employee lot on Niu Street.

This is a shotgun presentation in which Gregg Kamei and Joan Matsukawa will demonstrate a number of possibilities for later exploration.   See how you can

• organize your photos in iPhoto events and albums, geotag and keyword them for easy retrieval, and use a free web photo service such as Google’s Picasa or HP’s Tabblo and Smilebox e-cards.
• edit them in iPhoto and in Picnik, a free web photo editing service, then
• share them in slide shows, galleries, albums and DVDs.

Then see how you can take movies with your iPhone and…

• send them to yourself or transfer them from your phone or digital camera by cable to your computer and iMovie
• organize clips in a project and
• edit the clips with titles, effects and music, then finally
• share the movies in  a MobileMe gallery, your iTunes library or to YouTube!

This is a LOT in one night but we intend to have fun with it.  Join us!  Handouts are at drop.io/hmaus_maclearn for download (no password needed).

Free and everyone welcome.

ING Direct Cafe is at 1958 Kalakaua Avenue. Ali’i Conference Room 2nd floor

iLove Photos is now in beta development and will be public in the Fall. Be the first to preview this new paradigm in photo sharing.

From Blue Lava Tech:

“Imagine seeing every photo anyone has ever taken of you. Imagine automatically sharing all your photos with your friends. Using facial detection and visual tagging, iLovePhotos simplifies photo management by doing two things: 1) Automatically sharing your photos with the people in each photo, and 2) Automatically creating compelling slideshows out of your photos.”
