Photoshop Is A Verb and the Adobe Software giveaway

Adobe Photoshop User Group Meeting

Wednesday November 25, 2009

Don't miss our Photoshop year end meeting and Adobe Software Giveaway.

A highly skilled professional and great all around guy, Bill Vallely, will be sharing his expertise with us.

One of the few ways that computers graphics have reached the American consciousness is through it's ability to lie.

Hard as it is to believe these days, there was a day when the phrase "seeing is believing" could be said unironically. A photograph was considered legal evidence in and of itself.

Those days are long gone. Today, "PhotoShoping" is a widely used verb - it means to digitally distort a photograph to create a false image. A lot of celebrities have been victims of such hoaxes - their heads being placed on the bodies of different people.

Such activities are mean, childish.... and TON'S O' FUN.

The lesson will be to take the face of Ted Rami (who played Joxer The Might on Xena, Warrior Princess,) and place it on four different photos.....

1. In a 20s speakeasy;
2. As a 50's jazz saxophone player;
3. As one of the cast members of "Friends";
4. As one of the Twilight Vampires.

Each photograph will have a very different feel, and grain texture. The first two will be in black and white, the second two in color.
