November 4 -- Photoshop 5.5: Is the upgrade worth it?

We will look at some of PS-5.5's new features and comment on which tasks they are most useful. The short answer is that for many people the new features are not significant, but for others they are tremendously important.

The inclusion of ImageReady is a tremendous boon for people creating web pages, and most of the new features are web-related. However, there are some features that can be very helpful to those who do not do any web work at all: masking (which they call "extracting") around wispy-edged objects (like hairy heads) to drop out the background, a better contact sheet, and a variety of little things that can shorten the time spent in front of the computer all help.

Remember, the meetings are free and open to the public. Please bring a friend.
