Digital Image Workflow & File Management
presented by
Mike Scalf

 This program addresses the challenges, problems and pitfalls photographers will encounter while trying to adopt digital photography into their studio. Mike will provide proven methods on how to painlessly transition from shooting exclusively film to a fully digital studio. He will also provide options on how to select a point anywhere in between in order to gradually make the digital transformation. Also addressed are the pros and cons between capturing in the “RAW” mode vs capturing images as a high resolution JPEG.

Another big challenge is knowing where to direct your money, what kind of computers are best suited for your needs, software applications and the big question, “What level of a digital lab do I want in my studio?”  Management, maintenance and control of your digital images is just as critical as managing and filing those old-fashioned negatives. Mike will share many tips and techniques that will make your digital files management as free from corruption as humanly possible.

Mike comes to us from the Houston area. He last spoke to our group at a very well received session in January of 2003. You won't want to miss this session. MIke is a well known National Lecturer for PPA. He serves as Executive Director of the Southwestern Professional Photographers Association. He's a past president of TPPA and the Professional Photographers Guild of Houston.

Texas School

A good number of our members are planning to attend Texas School later this month (24th - 29th in College Station). As of a week ago, there were still some available places in some of the classes. You can still get in on the fun if you act quickly. Check the TPPA web site for more details

Print Exhibition

As usual we urge you to bring a print... any print of any type of subject matter for display. Show us something you've worked on recently; or something you found particularly challenging or rewarding. You know the drill... bring something participate and let's talk about what each of might be working on.

Other Goodies

Arlington Camera will have a representative at the meeting to show of some of their latest offerings.

Once again we're planning to have some sort of simple food and drink. Jose says its probably burgers this time. Come a little early and grab a bite to eat before we start the meeting.
