Sandra Voelker will be discussing and demonstrating ways we can all get Photoshop do the work for us. Including:

  • How to customize Photoshop for yourself or your customers.
  • How to speed up repetitive tasks, and share those shortcuts with others.
  • How to get Photoshop working with other applications in your pipeline.
  • How to use ExtendScript, Scripting Listener, and examples to quickly create your own custom tools. (No Programming knowledge Required!)

Sandra Voelker has been a Photoshop user since 1990 with the release of version 1 on her Macintosh LC (256kb Ram). Currently she is a local Freelance Technical Artist who has created Adobe scripts for Film, Videogame, Medical, Packaging, Website, Advertising and many other applications.  She holds a patent in game asset creation technology that was made possible using Photoshop Automation.  Her scripts are used all around the world and you can still see the results today in many of EA Sports video game titles.

As always, a Q & A session and great give-aways will follow. (Must be present to win.)
