Talking of Lightroom, you’re probably aware that there are now 2 versions of Lightroom available on the Creative Cloud subscription . Matt Kloskowski https://mattk.com/lightroom-cc-is-now-lightroom/?mc_cid=3947b65c42&mc_eid=aa0aff5160 provides a succinct description of the difference between the two versions.

On 3 November, Derek Doar DPAGB http://www.ddimages.co.uk/index.html (supported by Fotospeed) brings his lecture “Shared Moments” when Derek will give lots of helpful tips to help improve your photography.

Calvin will continue with the Photoshop theme from last week with a talk about brushes and masks.
