Our October meeting has changed topics and presenters; our scheduled speaker, Karen Schory, had to cancel on us because of schedule difficulties.

SO....the October 1 meeting is still on, with a new topic. This is a question near and dear to all Adobe visual design tool users -- "when and why should I use Fireworks when I'm so used to Photoshop?" Or, "would Photoshop be able to do this operation better than Fireworks?"

To help us weed through the differences, we've asked Dee Sadler to supervise the Showdown. Dee has presented this topic to my fellow Adobe User Group Managers and it's one of the top-rated presentations we've gotten to see. Dee is an Adobe certified Instructor and has vast experience with both of these visual products...she knows her stuff!

Each product has its merits -- but at the end of this session, you'll be able to know the differences and apply the right tool to the right situation.

We'll look forward to seeing you for the PS/FW Showdown with Dee. I realize some of you were eagerly anticipating the Typography presentation with Karen and I hope to reschedule it for a future meeting. If you need to change your RSVP based on this topic change, please do so using the Meetup interface so we have an accurate count.

See you next Thursday, October 1! Come at 6:00pm for food, the meeting gets underway around 6:30pm. I'm looking forward to seeing you there. As always, there will be fun and free stuff, just slightly before Dee and I leave for Adobe MAX in LA...where we'll surely come back with great surprises for our November meetings.
