Post Production Workflow with Tim Grey
We can’t wait for August as we have something
special lined up for our WPPA membership on the
27th. We have been able to arrange a very special
speaker who is in the top of the photographic field
when it comes to post production workflow. Our
speaker will be Tim Grey. Tim is regarded as one
of the top educators in digital photography and
imaging, offering clear guidance on complex sub-
jects through his writing and speaking. He is an
expert in Lightroom, Photoshop and many other
kinds of imaging software. His focus at our
meeting will be on Adobe Lightroom.
Lightroom provides a variety of tools that
enable you to keep your photos organized, but
truly having the confidence that you’ll be able
to find a particular photo when you need it
involves more than just good tools. In this
informative and entertaining presentation,
Tim Grey will show you how to properly get
Lightroom configured in the first place, how
to create an efficient image-management
workflow, and how to make decisions about
the various options available to you. In short,
if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed when it
comes to image management, you won’t want
to miss this session that will help you get off
to a great start keeping your photos organized
in Lightroom, including the latest features in
Lightroom 5. So get out your calendar and
mark August 27th down in red and come to see
Tim at the Eldorado III restaurant in Scars-
dale. You won’t be disappointed.
WPPA NEWSLETTER P AGE 2
President’s Message
Hello all:
CONGRATS to all 9 image makers of 33 choices at our 2nd Image Comp, especially to the ribbon-
winners - Bob, Eric, Mark, and June. See them in this Newsletter. What a plethora of colors and moods to en-
thrall us. It was quite a show of professionalism in our membership, and all enjoyed the view. And thanks to
Paul Bernstein and Diane Bollen for judging - what a challenge to reward ribbons to the better of them all.
There were bargains to be had at our 2nd Swap&Shop - the sellers made a bundle, and got rid of excess
STUFF! AND the buyers acquired STUFF for less than retail.
NOW find a friend that doesn’t know we exist, and invite them to a meeting. YOU GET 5 NICAS-
TRO POINTS when you convince them to join WPPA. Since Aspiring membership has been reinstated, a pro-
spective member can join us for a pittance (Section Dues) for the first year, so GO GET 'EM, to join WPPA.
YOU HAVE TO BE HERE if you wish to talk (and listen) to other photogs telling of their experiences
in photography, both GOOD and BAD. You can learn a lot, but to hear, you have to BE HERE. Isn’t that
what it’s all about???
THERE IS NO JULY GENERAL MEETING!!! It is always replaced by the State School, which is
July 21-26 at William Hobart College in Geneva, NY. A great educational bargain - five teachers to choose
from.
Sincerely, Frank

Swap & Shop Night Our second annual Swap & Shop did
not draw the same amount of interest
this year as it did last year, never-
the-less there were some interesting
items for sale. Swapping equipment
is another good benefit of being a
