Thanks everyone for coming to the first meeting of TCS2-Israel and CS4-Israel. It was good to see some old friends. Mina House of Design is a beautiful two-story building with textiles by Mina. She displays the artwork of several Israeli artists. Walking into Mina's is like taking a breath of fresh air. The gallery is light and airy. Art placement is tasteful and uncluttered. If you have a chance just walking around in Mina's is a treat. And if you want good coffee, the coffee shop upstairs has all kinds of treats.

After we networked for awhile, and caught up with what we were all doing, Kelli Brown gave a short talk about PhotoShop CS4 as both CS4 and TCS2 include PhotoShop CS4. She did a really cool demonstration of a "ray of light" that turned into a sunburst. Thanks Kelli!

This prompted discussion about how many free resources are now available to users. My favorite resource is iTunes U Podcasts. Layers Magazine and Lynda.com share many valuable tips and tricks for PhotoShop and the other applications in CS4 on iTunes U and on their respective websites.

Next meeting we hope to focus on Adobe Technical Creative Suite 2. We are also trying to make the next meeting a virtual meeting. Hope to "see" you there.
