Meet-up for Photoshop users

I cant make it last minute change of plans have to cancel Im afraid

I'm interested in this from a photographer's perspective. I've been learning some of the basics but perhaps this will get me to try more things. I've got CS3 but on my desktop only. Where's the next meeting?? Thursday night is a NO for me if it's this week - German team plays in Euro 2008 !

Anyone feeling noble enough to do me a favour? I need to use the EXTRACT tool to cut out an image from a grey background. Easy enough in theory but I'm not getting a professional finish - pretty much 'cos I just don't use Photoshop enough.

Anyone fancy having a crack for me - it's not a technically tricky one - just I am being a numptie:

Beer or whatever when I am next out. Don't think it quite qualifies as a "job".

Ta very much.

shall i book a table or two for thursday

Hey ..Im new to TT...dont really know anyone here...but im not new to PS!
As jwadleigh up, i use it for photography...There is nothing more relaxing then pixel correction!! But a beer or two with u guys might come as close as photoshopping, so maybe i should give u a chance to drag me away from the wide screen monitor and give my brain some real life;).

Can I join, can I can I can I *sad dog eyes* ?

oups...just saw youre meeting is in the library or something...no beer in libraries for sure!!! *blush*

No, no, Kalida, that was just a suggestion. We don't actually meet in a library and you can have a beer
I'm not sure if I'll be travelling on Thursday. But if not, I'd love to be there!

Big hands up to Donr for having a crack at this (sorry I missed the reply earlier) and also to Iain who sent me a layered PSD file which is perfect. I really need to get up to skills on Photoshop, but then I also need to learn to play drums, speak fluent German and mow the lawn today :-)

Much appreciated and grab me for a beer whenever I am out of course, plus I will send both you guys one of these units when on sale in about 2 months. They are wax bath units for softer skin!!

will book and confirm for thursday, hope there is not too much football but the cafe wasnt too busy last week when Germany played. Thursday 8 - 8.30 Mezzo Cobar Fransizka Bilek Weg U-Bahn station Schwanthalerhöhe.

Table booked up to 10 people can we have a head count, Kalida, yes you can yes you can yes you can. The more the merrier. As said Mezzo Cobar Fransiska Bilek weg 1 Schwanthaler höhe Ubahn exit towards the Dutsche Museum and along the underground passage first red building as you emerge blinking into the sunlight.

Was sooo tempted to PMS you but could not bring myself to do it!
Hope it helped ya.

If you need help on how to do this or similar , (very easy)...just shout

Don

I think I'll make it

i think i will make it too..specially after nice PM´s i got from some of u..

Hope u will not treat me with newby coldness:D

I don't think I can make it anymore, sorry Till next time!

looks like two or three of us, anymore takers, If not I will change the table for a smaller one I will not be there until 8.30

I guess I should cancel tonight. Please let me know if you want another meeting I am happy to organise it but need to know if anyone will turn up.

I was held at work and it´s 70km from here...im so sorry...Dont have internet acces there either to inform u...

I´ll buy a beer next time to make it up, ok?

I'd be very keen to join in, but I know nothing about PS, so if an absolute beginner is welcome, then I'm in!
I also know of a cool cafe on Barerstrasse that has free Wifi. It's just next to the Apple dealer 'Sales Point'.

If that sounds ok, let me know and I'll go by there to see if they can accommodate. Not sure if they have beer though!

Robin

you're welcome to join. I have a venue, sitting here at the moment. really friendly staff also wifi of course beginners are welcome.

I'll be on the lookout for the next meeting date and place and see you there.
Enjoy the rest of the evening!
Robin

How was it?

very quiet, I wasnt in the mood to talk to myself

Oh I really hope we can make it up next time.

No problems, just let me know when you want to meet up and Im ready

Hi Guys, here is link for you: http://www.webdesignerwall.com/ It’s a blog on webdesign with some interesting Photoshop tutorials. I would love to come to your meetings if I was in Munich.

Ok, Iain, thank you! If I suggest a date, should it be on Thursday? The next few Thursdays are not very good for me

Thanks, marie-claire!

Thursdays are really the best for me as weds and thurs morning I must wake up at 5.00

is there a meeting coming up soon?

would öove to organise one, depends on interest. let me know <ill book a table or twp

I'm still interested in this thread, I've just not been able to make the last two dates.

am also interested. Thursdays are usually a bit tricky for me but I can definitely accommodate a meeting if am told in advance. I can bring a laptop too (PC or Mac).

What about Thursday, 7th August, 7pm?
8pm is also ok for me, but with 7pm I can stay longer.

I am away until the 18th of august

Ok, then we'd better meet later

tipp for (one of many) good DVD Photoshop tutorials:

www.photoshoptopsecret.com

I think video tutorials are one of the best (-relativelly- cheapest, fastest and most comfortable) learning methods...

hi!

I'm new in this forum and I think that is really a good idea.
But actually I don't know which users you are talking about... Professional users or hobbie users?

Cheers

I'd say both, Ositaka. I'm for hobby

It is weird going through all these messages. I feel as if I am eavesdropping!!!

Had to laugh at the video posted in message #6.

I wouldn't mind going to your meetings, but the 300km distance is rather a put off.

Have fun

Hello...am interested in this group but it seems like most are away for the summer. If it starts back up again, I would love to join you.

Yah!

Why we don't try go ahead with this in end of September or so?

Maybe every other weekend?

Cheers

I may have time tomorrow 28th august same place around 7.30pm if anyone else is interested let me know by this evening and I will book it

I will be there. Nice to see you again

I also have time. Just let me know.

quick little bump, then see if maybe waiting till september works better

Ok, please let us know your decision. I'll check the topic again tomorrow.

Wait until September Comes

Anyone up for thursday 4th sept

Fourth of Sept will work...sorry didn't see the msg about the 28th but wouldn't have been able to make it cause the movers delivered my stuff and I was up to my nose in boxes!
