Lesa King: Simple Retouching Secrets for Photoshop CS4

by Sean N. Henderson

As attendees at the recent Connecticut Film Festival Interactive in Danbury have experienced, our July presenter, Lesa King, really knows how to show us mere mortals how to take wonderful pictures.

As her website clearly states, Lesa is on a mission to teach the world to create and use better graphics. Lesa is a stock photographer and chief evangelist for iStockphoto, founder of the creative tutorial site GraphicReporter.com, author of Photoshop: The Missing Manual (O'Reilly, 2008), Graphic Secrets for Business Professionals (Lynda.com, 2007), From Photo to Graphic Art, and Practical Photoshop Elements (KelbyTraining.com, 2008). Her latest offering is “Photoshop CS4: The Missing Manual” (O’Reilly, 2009) and she is excited to give DACS members and visitors some insight on getting the most of this powerful software.

Lesa writes regularly for Macworld Magazine, the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, Elements Techniques, and Layers Magazine. She is a corporate trainer and teaches at many industry conferences including Photoshop World, Macworld Expo, Mac Mania Geek Cruises, and the esteemed Santa Fe Workshops.

This would be a great time to invite your friends, colleagues, and neighbors, and join us Monday, July 6, 2009, for this upcoming general meeting.
