Participating artists – please drop your artwork off at the bank, 9:30AM.  Your artwork should be framed and ready to hang (wire only, no sawtooth or loop).

Optional theme: White

Please join us for our monthly image review night.  This is a great opportunity to share your work with other artists and receive useful feedback.  Feel free to ask for our thoughts in specific areas, or to seek general impressions of your artwork.  Some of our artists bring more than one variation of a piece, or several stages of a work-in-progress.  Let us know what you’re seeking, and we’ll do our best to provide it.

The “optional theme” for each meeting is just that … optional.  Some of our members enjoy finding or creating images that fit the theme, while other members have specific images or projects that they would like feedback on.  Whatever works for you is fine.

Our general guideline is that each artist may bring up to 8 images for a typical review.  Prints are encouraged, as this is the best way to see an artwork as its maker envisions it.  Digital images are (of course) welcome, on USB memory sticks and a variety of other digital media.  If you bring more than eight images, we’ll need to go through them quickly.  If you want to spend more time discussing an image, just bring fewer.  We want to make sure everyone has time to present their work.

Our digital display is 1920 x 1080 resolution.  You may want to optimize your image for this size, though our display software will scale your image if it is larger or smaller.  The JPG file format is preferred, to keep file size down and ensure compatibility with our software.

If you are new to the group or have any questions, please let me know.  We look forward to seeing you and your photographs.

Tonight’s topic: Filter Forge

by Tony Mistretta

This presentation will explore the use and capabilities of Filter Forge 3.0, a Photoshop Plug-in that allows users to build their own filters or use any of about 4,500 filters that have been created by others.  I have been using Filter Forge for almost two years now, and have found it to be useful for creating effects that I cannot find anywhere else.  I will demonstrate the use of filters in the library and show some of my images that have been successfully modified with Filter Forge.
