 Speaker: Michael Blank
Topic: Pixlr, the Free Web-Based Photo & Graphics Editing Program
Adobe Photoshop has a well-earned reputation for being among the top photo and graphics editing programs. However, not everyone needs to use its powerful feature-set every day. Advanced users may also not be happy with Photoshop's subscription plan, nor find that free editing programs meet their needs.
One interesting alternative is Pixlr (pixlr.com,) a free Web-based program which can meet occasional photo and graphics editing needs, yet has some of Photoshop's more powerful features (like simultaneous crop & resize, layers, and masks.)
PMUG's Michael Blank will demonstrate Pixlr version E (pixlr.com/e/) -- he will start by introducing the program's interface and tools, show how to use it for basic photo editing tasks, go through some of its more advanced features, then take you step-by-step and show how to make graphics from scratch with it.
