Printing & Viewing Your Digital Photos
Please join us this month when we Jonas Green, VP-Education of Northshore Toastmasters, will speak about two low-to-no cost utility programs: Paint dot Net and DVD Photo Slideshow Professional.
Originally intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows, Paint dot Net has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paint Shop ProĈ, Microsoft Photo Editor and The GIMP.
DVD Photo Slideshow is a powerful application for creating a slide show of photos and videos to be presented online or watched on TV and portable devices.
Jonas Green holds a BS in Computer Science from Northeastern University, and worked for several years in IT support at a major audit firm. Most recently, he worked as an instructor for adults suffering mental illness at BU's Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation teaching basic computer training and employment satisfaction and success as part of 'The Training for The Future.' He currently serves as VP-Education and Webmaster of Northshore Toastmasters. Jonas is also a member of the NSCS and a frequent volunteer at our Friday clinics.
We'll also hold our usual Tech Talk Time, your chance to share your technical questions and answers. And since this is final meeting of the year, we will be cleaning out the prize bins.
But remember, even though
our meetings are always free, to be eligible to win a prize you must
be a member of the North Shore Computer Society.
NOTE: Our meetings are held at the McCarthy Auditorium at the Peabody Municipal Light
Plant, 201 Warren Street Extension, Peabody, MA
