Upcoming Event

February 'Tech Talks' Meeting

Introduction to Photoshop Elements
Learn How to Improve Your Images
Presented by Mark Guinn

Mark Guinn is a lifelong amateur photographer. After my sister said "Mark you take good pictures you should get a good camera", I got my first SLR from Nikon. I moved into digital photography around 2004 and my journey with Photoshop Elements. My work in the retail business for 27 years kept me very busy, but I always managed to keep making pictures of my travels on vacation.
In retirement I've become more serious about this hobby and how to use Photoshop. It is a learning process on both fronts as technology is always changing.

If you are interested in learning about the steps to take to improve the look and the impact of your images and make them memorable, join me at the February Tech Talk meeting.
This presentation will be followed by 2 computer club classes on February 19th & 26th for those who want to pursue this further.

Upcoming Event

March 'Tech Talks' Meeting

New iPhone & iPad Tips & Tricks
Presented by Dian Lineback

Monday, March 17th 2025 @1PM at The DesertView Theater

No matter how long you’ve used an iPhone, there are always new (or new-to-you) features to discover. And stumbling upon a time-saving trick after years of use is, quite frankly, a delight.

On March 17 Dian Lineback will present New iPhone/iPad Tips and Tricks. This popular topic of timesaving, useful, surprising and even just fun tips is presented each year to Saddlebrooke residents.

This year’s presentation will include tips for both iPhones/iPads that do not support AI and those that do.

Dian is a 25 year executive of Apple, teaches classes with Saddlebrooke Computer Club and is the club Co-President.
