Cancelled: 12/8/10 PS Meeting

Due to a lack of presenters this month, the Photoshop User Group meeting for December 8th is cancelled. We are looking for new presenters for future meetings, so please send me an e-mail (jrubbo AT adobe DOT com) if you are interested in presenting. Please note that you don’t have to be a Photoshop expert to present!

In other news, the 12.0.2 update for Photoshop was released yesterday, along with Camera Raw 6.3 and Lightroom 3.3. Last week, there was also a Bridge update. To install the updates, go to Help>Updates… in Photoshop, Bridge or Lightroom. Additional details can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

The next Photoshop User Group meeting will take place in February.

To download and install the actions:

Download the .zip file to your hard drive.
Unzip the .zip file. You should now have a folder with two .atn files.
In Photoshop, click on the menu icon at the upper right of the Actions panel and choose Load Actions from the menu.
Navigate to the first .atn file and click Open. Repeat these two steps to load the second action.

Now you should be able to play the actions via the Actions panel.
