John describes getting clean scans, adjusting monitors, preparing Web images and strengths and weaknesses of standard graphics formats. John finds that he has so much material that he will not be able to cover it in one evening so, depending on the attendees' interest, we are planning on scheduling a second session in which he will discuss and compare various image manipulation applications in detail. The present target for this is the September meeting. Location: Microsoft's Multipurpose Room 1, 6th floor, 230 Third Ave, Waltham, MA, which has Parking and has Wheelchair access. Directions: Take Route 95/128 to Exit 27A. Go south on Third Ave passing between the northbound 95/128 and the Westin Hotel. Reaching Third Ave requires a U-turn to the right from the northbound 95/128 exit or a "cross the overpass and turn right" from the southbound 95/128 exit. From Third Ave, turn left onto Fourth Ave immediately after the Westin. Go to end, turn right and follow signs for Prospect Place. Bear right at the fork and follow signs to Visitor Parking. Lobby is on second floor.
