• Meeting host Julie Faas introduced fellow Club member, Dave Noordhoff, who presented the photo editing program, Luminar 4. Dave began by showing us how to lighten, darken and straighten photos. From there, he went on to explain how to replace the sky, remove spots and enhance details. Finally, he demonstrated how to enhance a portrait by smoothening skin, whiten eyes, remove blemishes, darken lips and slim a face.

We want to thank Dave for his well-planned, easy to understand tutorial on Luminar 4. Several of the Club’s more experienced members have been using it for some time now, and would highly recommend it.

• Our next meeting will be held in two weeks, on Tuesday, January 26th, 2021 when Club member Mike Blazek will speak on “Capturing The Light”. Mike is a very experienced and accomplished photographer who always gives us very informative presentations.
