Our Next Meeting
Not everyone has either Photoshop or Fireworks. This session will look at some other graphic programs, specifically the Corel Draw Graphics Suite, ImageJ, and (if time) GIMP.
Chip will cover the Corel Draw Graphics Suite which includes both a bitmap handling software, Corel Photopaint, and Corel Draw, a vector based software. Along with the web stuff, Chip will cover how he uses the Corel Suite to make posters for scientific meetings - printed on their large format printer- and figures for publication in scientific journals. Corel is not free, but it is less expensive than either Fireworks or Photoshop.
ImageJ (rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/) a Java program, is a free image analysis and image processing software package for the PC platform. The original version for Mac, NIH Image rsb.info.nih.gov/nih-image/about.html, was written by developers at the National Institutes of Health. Carl will discuss some of the standard menu options for ImageJ, illustrating what is possible with the program. Emphasis will be on image processing, rather than image analysis (getting numbers from images). In addition, he will discuss some other free image analysis programs.
If there is time, we will also look briefly at GIMP, a free program for Windows or Mac, which lets you convert images to JPEG and GIF, add text, and create simple layered images.
We will do the drawing at this meeting for the spring software from Adobe, to TAG members who are eligible. See the criteria for being in the software drawing. You do not have to be present, but you do have to have earned 4 points to be eligible. We also will have other door prizes from Adobe at this meeting for anyone attending this meeting.
