1000 Pictures, One Album Thursday March 4, 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Picture the fun you could be having!

eggnogNovember 21st was a sampler day for MacLearn.  Norman and Dorothy Hallett, Robbie Gee, Joan Larcom, Marcy Katz, Richard Sato,  Lorie Goodman and Terrence Young had fun with all kinds of great apps for making things with images.

Terrence first shot a clip of each person in front of ING Direct’s green wall using the video feature of his regular Canon camera.  The clips were brought into iMovie using the green screen effect and voila! folks were transported to Branson, the grandchildren’s house, Chicago or Europe.

Next was Photo Booth.  Lorie took a video ride on a moving roller coaster and others tried the 4-up, sepia tone and miscellaneous effects.  The computer’s built-in camera captured a still or a video clip which could be sent to iPhoto with one click.

Package that Picture – free workshop

Join our November MacLearn session to learn how to make cards and calendars with iPhoto; edit a picture with Picnik, a free online photo editing service; create a Christmas newsletter with Pages and record a little movie against a green screen — then add it to a new background.  Fun photo stuff!

You can just come to listen or if you want to actually do stuff:

  • Don’t wear green, it will turn into a puka in a green screen image.
  • Bring images of a landscape or anything that would make a good background and other personal photos on a CD or thumbdrive, things that would be great on a card or calendar.
  • If you have a laptop with iPhoto ‘09, bring it.  Have some text to paste into a Christmas newsletter on your computer if you wish.  If you don’t have iWork ‘09 download and install a free trial version of iWork ‘09 before Saturday.  It works on Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard.
