Recap 6/28/14 - General Meeting

Let us all have a say…

I'm posting a message here to encourage blog commenting. In the past, I had set the comment area to have a verification message, discouraging spam comments. This verification window usually showed jumbled letters and/or numbers that were difficult to read, which I'm sure was discouraging for some of you. Blogger does a pretty good job of recognizing spam comments and hides them for me to delete at a later time – so I've removed the verification process from our comments.

Another obstacle is the "sign-in". You don't have to be signed-in to anything to make a comment. Here are the four options for identifying yourself in the bog comment section:

Google ID – if you have gmail or an account on G+ for example

OpenID – if you have a accounts with either
WordPress, LiveJournal, TypePad or AIM (AOL Instant Messenger)

Name/URL – This allows you to simply type in your own name
and attach a website link to it.
No sign-in required, you can put whatever you want!
You don't even NEED a website – just put in your name!

Anonymous – click this and you can just post a comment,
no strings attached!  However, we would like to know
who is making comments, so if you use this option,
please do type your name at the end of your
message so we know who you are!

If you have any questions about the process, I encourage you to ask them here, in the comments section! If you still can't get it to work, feel free to email me directly with specific questions.

MEETING 6/27/09 Scanning & Digitally Processing Your Artwork

Hello CPSA Members!
Get ready for our meeting this Saturday by selecting a piece of artwork you would like to have scanned!
Chapter member, Melinda Beavers, will be running though the scanning process and also touch on some basic digital editing processes. Bring your sketchbooks and pencils as well, after the overview presentation, Melinda will invite members with artwork to scan to go through the process individually - other members will be welcome to watch or draw on their own during that time.

*Please note: If you are bringing a piece of artwork to scan, it must be smaller than 8.5 x 11".
Also, due to time constrictions, we cannot garuntee that every person who brings a piece of artwork will have the to opportunity to have it scanned. If you have a small portable USB hard drive or a blank data CD-R, please bring it along to receive your scanned artwork file immediately, otherwise delivery will depend on email - and not all mailboxes can receive large digital files (3MB or larger).

Melinda will be demonstrating with the VueScan program, software that is available for both Mac and Windows platforms and for various consumer scanners. The software is available for online purchase/download here.
