Hello and Welcome,
The
Penrith Group meets next Saturday and details of their meeting are
below.
Saturday 2 November - Penrith
Group - F. Bowman - 2:00pm - 5:00pm
At their last meeting the
Penrith Group used the Clone Tool in Irfanview to easily remove faint join
lines in a stitched panorama they produced at their August meeting. The
results led them to conclude that Irfanview is indeed a wonderful piece of
software.
They examined the freeware program WinDirStat, which graphically
analyses a disk, flash drive or hard disk and produces an image that
clearly shows the size of each file.
A freeware program, Ashampoo Slide Show, was used
to produce a video slide show of ten vintage car images, in a WMV file
format, with transitions. It did this quickly, easily and effectively.
This month the group is planning to use Movie
Maker to make a similar slide show so that they can compare the two
programs.
As well, they will look at brainstorming and mind
mapping freeware programs and online bulletin boards, such as Padlet (formerly known as
Wallwisher).
They will also have a question and answer session
around the table to share problems, advice and tips.
The Penrith Group meets at St Clair High School,
Endeavour Avenue, St Clair.
