June Meeting - June 11th, 2021

The Power of Preview

This month we'll take a look at at one of the Mac's most versatile native applications for working with many types of image files including JPEG, PNG, PSD, and TIFF, as well as PDF documents: Preview. Combining, signing, redacting, viewing, and saving are all on the list of uses to be demonstrated. Board members will highlight a couple of their favorite uses of Preview and then open the floor to the membership for some of their favs.

We'll open the meeting with our Q&A session and follow up with the main presentation on the power of Preview. The meeting will wind up with announcements and the "spin-the-wheel raffle."

If you've got a favorite use for the Preview app, bring it to the meeting and show it off to all of us. As has been our custom for the past 12–14 months this will all take place on Zoom. I hope to see many of you there this Friday!

[Please don't forget to sign in with your real name or you will not be admitted the meeting.]

Your first meeting is FREE. Annual individual membership is $48.00, which covers all immediate members of your family. Please email Donald Hennessy at AboutLIMac@aol.com for details.

Be careful. Stay healthy.

You’re Invited to the MacBasics SIG
In order to meet the needs of a wider range of members and not put off those with more than beginning skills, we’ve changed not only the name from Beginner SIG, but also the focus of our SIG. We will still cover applications like AppleWorks and simple procedures like setting up your first Mac, file systems and using utilities, but we’ve also matured, as much of Apple’s software and hardware has. So come on down. We'll be where we’ve always been, doing what we’ve always done, but with a new slant and a new name. The MacBasics SIG is led by Geoff Broadhurst and Rick Matteson. The SIG meeting is broken into two sessions. The first is from 7:00 to 7:30PM, during which we will have our own basic level question and answer session. We’ll break for the featured presentation and raffle and come back for the main portion of our SIG meeting from 8:30 to 10 o’clock. Of course before our MacBasics main demonstration we'll have our own novice Q&A session across the hall, while Bradley's dealing with the more complicated problems in the main room.

As always come with questions. The MacBasics SIG is not just for beginners, but we do discuss aspects of the Mac that may sometimes be overlooked. There will be a MacBasics SIG meeting this month. The topic has not been announced.

 

The App SIG, is the latest SIG from LIMac. It's a peer-to-peer group where members share their knowledge and experience with the
operating system iOS 7 and their favorite apps for their iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.

While the AppleTV does run iOS, it doesn't run
user apps. Nevertheless, it can play an important role in the mobile OS realm with streaming video and photos and screen mirroring.
Lets help each other here. There will be no App SIG meeting this month.
