Every one would like a base hit. A two-bagger is better. A three-bagger is fantastic! But, we have a home run for the January 4th general meeting!

Matt Chojnowski is an educator (1), a computer Geek (2) an experienced professional photographer (3) and his subject will be “Everything you want to know about Digital Photography (Home Run)!

• Film versus digital cameras
• Why most digicams are the same
• How to organize photos
• Overview of image files (The easy version)
• Editing photos (The easy version)
• Question & Answer Session

Did you get that digital camera you wanted for Christmas? Or are you going to buy one with the money you saved on PC-cillin 2005 from Trend Micro plus the savings you get at CompUSA by being a KIPCUG member? Well, KIPCUG is giving you a golden opportunity to make full use of your new toy by learning all the tricks of the trade of using the camera and enhancing, sharing, filing and enjoying all the fruits of your labor through your computer!

If you are still deciding, attendees will learn the ease of use, memory type, how to transfer images to their computer, and cost considerations for that next cameral.

Mark Tuesday January 4th on your calendar, PDA, palm of your hand, or where ever you keep notes for important dates. In addition to making an interesting, informative presentation, Matt loves to answer questions so if you don’t learn everything you want to it will be your fault.

• What are the common output files?
• What Printer do I need?
• How long will the printed photo last?
• What kind of zoom is best?
• Will a digital camera "stop motion?"

Come early and enjoy a cup of fresh brewed coffee and visit with friends, old and new, in KIPCUG.

Members will also have a chance to win a copy of Microsoft “Plus! Digital Media edition” The ultimate Photo, Music, & Movie enhancement pack plus a copy of Adobe “Photoshop Album 2.0, the fast and easy way to organize and share your lifetime of photos.

Back-to-Basics: 

The KIPCUG General Meeting starts with the ever-helpful Back-to-Basics session.

January's topic will be Belarc Advisor.  The Belarc Advisor builds a detailed profile of your installed software and hardware and displays the results in your Web browser.

Each month "Back-to-Basics" chooses a subject to improve everyone's basic/general knowledge. The sessions are intended to help the entry level user. Grant McCormick leads our Back-to-Basics presentations.  Contact Grant with your suggestions for future topics. .
