Meeting details

Imagine that you’re missing an important piece of a puzzle. You lower your head and sigh. Suddenly you perk up and yell, “I’ll Photoshop it!” After your bewildered coworkers roll their eyes and giggle, you wonder what the best way to complete your puzzle is.

Robert McDaniels is here to the rescue. As a Creative Suites Master Certified Expert and a Certified Technical Trainer, he is ready to guide us in the right direction. Robert will take us through many of the new features in Photoshop CS3 Extended and explore how Photoshop integrates with InDesign CS3 for a seamless workflow without having to cram that puzzle piece into place. If you’d like to develop the know-how to complete your next design or workflow puzzle, please join us for the next InDesign user group meeting.
